L’artificielle intelligence nous dit :

C’est une image de “Nyan Cat” ! Nyan Cat est un mĂšme internet populaire qui a Ă©tĂ© créé en 2011 par Chris Torres, Ă©galement connu sous le pseudonyme PRguitarman. L’image montre un chat gris avec le corps d’un Pop-Tart (une pĂątisserie fourrĂ©e), ici avec une garniture rose Ă  pois, qui vole dans l’espace en laissant derriĂšre lui un arc-en-ciel. Les couleurs de l’arc-en-ciel dans cette version semblent ĂȘtre celles du drapeau transgenre (bleu, rose et blanc), ce qui pourrait ĂȘtre une variation ou une adaptation du design original.
Nyan Cat est devenu cĂ©lĂšbre grĂące Ă  une vidĂ©o animĂ©e sur YouTube accompagnĂ©e d’une musique entraĂźnante, et il est depuis un symbole de la culture internet des annĂ©es 2010. Si tu veux en savoir plus sur son histoire ou ses variations, je peux faire une recherche pour toi !

This is an image of “Nyan Cat”! Nyan Cat is a popular internet meme created in 2011 by Chris Torres, also known as PRguitarman. The image depicts a gray cat with the body of a Pop-Tart (a filled pastry), in this case with a pink, sprinkled filling, flying through space while leaving a rainbow trail behind. The colors of the rainbow in this version appear to match those of the transgender flag (blue, pink, and white), which might be a variation or adaptation of the original design.
Nyan Cat became famous thanks to an animated YouTube video accompanied by catchy music, and it has since become a symbol of 2010s internet culture. If you’d like to know more about its history or variations, I can search for more information for you!

It’s simply one of the various Easter eggs that are part of YunoHost
This one was added for the International Transgender Day of Visibility

Alors je ne veux ni offenser ni manquer de respect Ă  personne, et j’aurais posĂ© la mĂȘme question si ça avait Ă©tĂ© quelque chose d’autre.
Mais est-ce que c’est nĂ©cessaire de mettre des messages politiques dans un project qui n’a rien avoir avec ça ?
Je trouve ça important la neutralité, surtout pour un projet open-source
(mon message n’est pas la pour critiquer les trans, mais sur la pertinance de porter des messages quels qu’ils soient à travers YunoHost)

I never saw that one! big fan of the Halloween one! I was genuinely wondering when other loading cats will occur.

Also, for no-fun allowed mode i think there’s a setting about that in web-admin settings maybe?

what a glitch! I am not a fan of the lbgt / trans
 So, I do not want this errors :smiley: on my server :slight_smile: Do not get me wrong, nothing against people, but living philosofy

I really struggled, had fear, what is with my server.

I like it too !
But for me the problem is rather that by default, YunoHost that is just a tool, it should not push any ideology of any kind, even if i was never against the trans on the personal plan (i’m not into politics).
Also it give confusion, at first i also thought my server was hacked or has some problem, it’s not like Halloween were everyone know it’s at this time of the year
And i don’t see this setting anymore

i dont really think that’s political, changing the cat into other stuff, they’re not pushing any agenda here. it just for one day, it doesn’t do anything else. but if the religious-christian-based Halloween and Santa easter egg is ok and TDOV Nyan cat is not, that obviously raises some vibes. not that i’m against religious day remeberance eggs

but we might need a No Easter Egg Mode then

I understand and respect your point of view.
But still, it make confusion and since in our days it’s a political subject, we can think it’s someone that has hacked your system.

But i also think it’s very important for tools, service, apps to be neutral, and between something that is still debated in every country, highly political and dividing, or some holidays that exist for thousand of years it’s not the same

Because i think we are too much showing and talking about our ideas everywhere. And sometime it’s good to just do things without any meaning behind.

I also thought I had been been hacked or something. Please keep politics out of YunoHost or enable easter eggs inside settings for those who want to be entertained

Regarding the comments along the lines of “is it really necessary to have politics involved in open-source projects?”, “can’t you be neutral?”, “what is this shit?”


Yes, it’s necessary. YunoHost seeks to promote and emancipate everyone with regard to the management of their digital services and the hosting of their data. We aim to offer an alternative to Big Tech. These very same companies, most of them based in the US, have for the most part advocated and financed the return to power of the right-wing over there, with an openly liberticidal, anti-humanist, lgbtqia+phobic agenda, and did not hesitate to implement equally debatable policies in their softwares/platforms. We are firmly opposed to this.

Technology is not neutral, period. It is not a realm independent of physical reality. Many project did, do and will use their software/platform for political messages. Some altering your daily life in much pernicious way than a simple nyan cat on a loading screen during 1/365th of the year, indeed pushing for the very evil and controversial agenda of “not being an asshole to other human beings, especially minorities”: YunoHost is created by human beings, with their lives, their frailties, and their struggles. Other examples (in French) of this project’s positioning: đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Contre la nouvelle loi de surveillance (et les prĂ©cĂ©dentes) and 📜 L'Union EuropĂ©enne doit poursuivre le financement des logiciels libres!.

(As a side note, if you’re interested in other ‘neutral’ aspect of the project, you may be glad to learn that we’re now trying to use gender-neutral terms in our documentation and user interface)
