It's hard to put into words how much I love this
They're very big on open-source software in France.
Probably why they have such a huge community on Lemmy.
What’s the lemmy community?
That’s pretty cool, but everything is in French.
Nooon? Vraiment? Je suis le premier surpris.
Went to France but unfortunately too many French people :/
😐 😑 😐
You don't need to master french to post here, you only need to welcome the power of automated translator!
Also, some people comment in English. That's fine, we did not inherit the racism from Reddit and r/rance.
I'll try: Way. Bigly. Le chat grande.
Well, you know what I mean.
A big cat does describe the feeling pretty well actually.
I’m not French, but I am a teacher and I want in on this. Love getting materials sent to me from Microsoft teams accounts that refuse to let me actually access anything. Cute web UI, now can you send me the actual document instead of a picture of it in a browser?
Imagine what learning would be like if teachers and programmers from all over the world collaborated in making the best possibles resources for learning, and all of that would be in the public domain so anyone from all over the world, rich or poor could use it to learn. It seems such a big opportunity and once we start building it would only get better over time. Good to hear France gets it. Can't we, as in the EU, put some funds into such projects?
Actually France is doing pretty well IT-wise, but the majority of the countries in Europe are greatly lagging in IT development and digitalization.
I do love open source, but hearing "Moodle" aged me like a decade lmao. Also nextcloud for everything? I guess having every tool you need centralized makes sense but I do wonder how well it scales across tens of thousands of people.
If you pay for their support, probably a lot b better than my cheap VPS.
French public services tend to switch between FOSS and proprietary software, depending on the politics of the time.
In my little corner of it, they're leaning toward proprietary right now, especially since a big Microsoft ecosystem deal was kind of forced on us and we're supposed to go all in. Who knows how long it'll last though.
Great thing, but bro please be a country against chat-control
