@miniBill@mastodon.uno it's not been released, yet, so it's not a relicense. It's an agreement on how to release it.
@Nux@fosstodon.org I was in favor of the BSD-3-Clause. Some were for the MIT. But there were a few GPL components. In the end, the MIT prevailed. However, it can still be modified until the release, as to date no code has been distributed.
@epn4littlefedi
I feel your pain.
I have telegram,Signal, DeltaChat and Matrix myself, always resisted WA.
I wouldn't mind getting rid of telegram and signal (too many limitation for my use), but the inertia is just huge
We’re currently preparing #littleFedi for release under the #MIT license.
As part of that work, the GPL-licensed code previously included in the project has been removed or replaced. We’re now reviewing the repository to make sure the licensing information is clear and consistent throughout.
@xenotar I am currently in the process of moving all my data away from Proton after their recent blunder with french fascism and was already selfhosting most of my mails on a VPS. And full ack on your sentiment about WhatsApp.
@epn4littlefedi WhatsApp is a big one, unfortunately. Even with people in my circles that are already users of better alternatives, ever so often they default to this shite app.
The notion of a slop phone is actually something that I considered briefly... and might actually do in the near future.
@pepdmin I did something similar in 2024/2025, closing my accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, and even Proton, and migrating to pCloud and Tutamail (I had already been using the Fediverse since 2019). I’ve never had WhatsApp and rarely use Signal; I still need to complete my migration from Gmail/Drive, which I hope to finish by 2027.
I also view WhatsApp as the biggest barrier preventing people from leaving US Big Tech, and I consider it the most invasive of all their systems.
@francois Trump's punitive tariffs against Brazil are partly due to the PIX payment system—which is free and universally available to individuals—as it has been gaining ground in a space previously monopolized by Visa and Mastercard. Even street vendors accept it. Trump intends to intervene in this year's presidential election to try to install a puppet who has already visited the White House and promised to reverse this situation.
@stefano@bsd.cafe Where can I download the Linux builds? I would like to test littleFedi on Armbian (32 and 64 bits)
@pepdmin for me it's WhatsApp. Even though I have Signal, DeltaChat and Matrix set up people refuse to convert from WhatsApp. Impossible to even get them to consider it. Frustrates me.
Apart from that I only use Google on a "slop" phone, a phone only used and reserved for banks, govt etc. I dont have FB, X, Insta nor any of the rest thankfully
@stefano this is *fast* isn't it :)
also happy to see the "6" and "HTTP/3" indicators in my address bar!

Bug report : switched from ES tp PT. The message remains in FR.
Bug Report: When posting img, noticed that field is not initialized and still contains value of previous variable.
Also PT seems more BR than PT (nome de exibiçao: nome público)
Hello, little world
@stefano
Bug report: Just changed language of the interface from FR to ES. some fields for some reasons stay in FR both in config and as I was posting it.
@joany You go! Google is a bit harder to avoid these days with the nonsense about device integrity and whatnot causing banking apps not to work... or even broader speaking: banking not working outright, because a smartphone is needed for that with many banks.
