Endlich Ordnung in der Timeline!

Ich nutze jetzt ein eigenes Userscript in #Violentmonkey, das mir meine abonnierten Hashtags farblich hervorhebt. So sehe ich sofort, warum ein Beitrag bei mir landet – ob es um #Apple Intelligence (Blau), #Datenschutz (Grün) oder #Spirit (Gold) geht.

Ein echtes Plus für die Usability im #Fediverse! Hat noch jemand solche Custom-Skripte im Einsatz?

Open Document Format (ODF) is the standard format in #LibreOffice.

Und das Ganze ohne direkte demokratische Legitimation oder Kontrolle durch das Parlament.

With news that Discord is moving toward stricter age/ID verification and privacy concerns around this shift, I’m wondering whether Open Source communities like Python and Django should consider alternatives to Discord. 🤔

Platforms like Matrix or Zulip might better respect privacy and freedom of access.

What do you think about a migration away from Discord?

If you were looking for Podman v5.8 RC1, look no further! It's just dropped on GitHub and should be making its way to Fedora and other distros soon! Look for the v5.8.0 final later this month! https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v5.8.0-rc1 #podman #OpenSource

Today @roost released v0 of Coop, the trust & safety review tool. 👀

https://github.com/roostorg/coop/discussions/44

It’s v0 for a reason: while we focused on core functionality & child safety features like Google Content Safety API integration(!), it’s the first time this code is seeing the light of day as an open source project after we acquired the IP. There’s a lot to be cleaned up and improved, and a lot more we want to do. The important part is that it all happens in the open, now! 🙌

🇫🇷 The French government is sending a message about digital independence by ditching Microsoft Teams and Zoom for its own platform, Visio. This move is not about a lack of features but a calculated push for digital sovereignty. By 2027, every government department in France will communicate via this sovereign stack, ensuring that sensitive data remains subject to European law. The shift addresses a growing concern that relying on foreign cloud giants creates a strategic vulnerability. France is opting for an open-source architecture built on Django and React, hosted on the domestic Outscale cloud. This infrastructure removes the risk of external service disruptions while fostering a local tech ecosystem.

🧠 The Visio platform integrates with Tchap, a secure messaging app based on the Matrix protocol.
⚡ French startup Pyannote provides the AI backbone for meeting transcripts and speaker identification.
🎓 The administration expects to save millions in annual licensing fees by using in-house software.
🔍 Data remains strictly within French jurisdiction to bypass foreign data access laws.

14.3% of all those messages sent by me (NomadicCore)

The server has been working really well for us as a community with zero reliability issues and the use of channels and topics allowing for focused and varied discussions!

The server has been sponsored by Zulip as part of their commitment to open source and we want to thank them for that! All round success!

"[...] the first few months of planning the course revolved around breaking out of the Figma ecosystem and putting as many free and open source tools to the test as we could. Now, the fact this article exists shows that we succeeded on that front, but what I honestly didn’t expect was that the experience would be so good (and honestly quite liberating) that I’d actually be switching my whole design setup to free and open source tools."

Hello people, here'd be my #introduction

The name's Ari, 45yrs, located in #kouvola, #finland

I'm a long career #IT guy, nowdays self-employed but I've worn many hats from a van driver to an IT manager and everything in between.

I mostly work in the #opensource world. I'm not a coder, but I do stuff for my own entertainment with good old languages.

I wish to spend my free time on the road exploring the world and restoring old arcade games.

We'll also discuss developments in digital sovereignty & democracy. Great place to learn why you might want to ditch Windows (or MacOS) and liberate your digital life! I'm gather even the gamers are doing it these days!

The community at r/degoogle is discussing a move from Reddit to Lemmy. The main drivers? Reddit's centralized control and its ongoing friction with third-party developers.

Lemmy offers a federated alternative where the community, not a corporation, owns the platform. It's a great example of how open-source software provides a real exit strategy from Big Tech.

So now I'm hearing about so-called Open Source projects closing PR contributions from the outside world because it's easier to "generate the code" from within their org just based on people's bug reports or whatever.

**Mask off moment.**

These people never cared about #OpenSource or #LibreSoftware. They just cared about marketing & free labor. Now that they can get "free labor" from slop machines faster, they'll do that.

🙄

Folks, we need real community now more than ever.

@gnu0os0ta Ich finde es auch traurig, dass sich viele Personen meiner Generation kaum dafür interessieren. Ich bin aber froh, dass mein Umfeld generell positiv gegenüber #Linux und #opensource eingestellt ist. Ein paar sind sogar schon mit mir auf #cachyos oder #endeavouros umgestiegen. Und mit dem Hype um die Steam Machine und Frame gibt es noch einen Ruck für die #Linux Plattform sich beweisen zu können!

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@iscdotorg/116007490068547600

Each of us is a non-profit. Each of us employ EU citizens as #foss maintainers. And each of us do long-term maintenance and development on independent #opensource implementation for DNS, routing and other foundational network protocols. So we thought we’d once again team up for a submission.

We really did have a great time talking to and sharing ideas with all of the folks across ALL of the decentralized and federated platforms and protocols.

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2026 #OpenSource

Sehr guter Beitrag, der zentrale Themen wie Abhängigkeiten und Gefahren durch US Bigtech, #OpenSource als Motor für digitale #Souveränität uvm. beleuchtet.

Mit dabei u.a. Wechsel vom #istgh zu #opendesk, Wechsel in Schleswig Holstein zu #Libreoffice und #Linux, extrem hohe Lizenzkosten durch #Microsoft, Gefahren durch #Cloudact und vieles mehr.

Das Thema wird immer populärer, auch durch Aktionen wie den digital independence day #did. 👍 (Der da nicht erwähnt wird.)

#introduction

I co-own a software studio,@tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

Do say hello! 👋

A nice run-down of open-source tools for designers, via @piccalilli.

"[...] the first few months of planning the course revolved around breaking out of the Figma ecosystem and putting as many free and open source tools to the test as we could. Now, the fact this article exists shows that we succeeded on that front, but what I honestly didn’t expect was that the experience would be so good (and honestly quite liberating) that I’d actually be switching my whole design setup to free and open source tools."

Super Vortrag heute von Bruno Schöb zum Thema "Open Source als wichtiger Träger der Digitalen Souveränität", organisiert von eGov-Schweiz Innovation and Network und moderiert von Dominik Steiner.

Open Source Prinzipien, offene Standards und Open Source Software sind zentrale Voraussetzungen für digitale Souveränität. Die Unabhängigkeit von einzelnen IT-Anbietern – und damit die Sicherstellung digitaler Souveränität – wird durch eine vielfältige Anbieterlandschaft sowie den konsequenten Einsatz offener Standards gewährleistet.

Mit der aktuellen Strategie Digitale Schweiz 2025 wird der Einsatz von Open Source Software in der Bundesverwaltung gefördert

I wonder when #chat apps will become like the #Fediverse. A #Telegram user could chat with WhatsApp & #Snapchat users, etc.

Will Signal ever join this, considering Signal's work ethic, ideology, & values?

I want to chat with WhatsApp users through #Signal in the #future because everyone I know uses #WhatsApp.

There was a pretty critical news segment by Nieuwsuur about @landesregierung 's move to open source alternatives. It shows a Higher Court user having issues with LibreOffice vs Microsoft Office, and using a scanner workaround. Also the email migration didn't go without issue.

To someone who has done this migration before; jup sounds familiar. But it's also something that can be solved. We're actually visiting SH next week to learn about their #opensource experience.

The server has been working really well for us as a community with zero reliability issues and the use of channels and topics allowing for focused and varied discussions!

The server has been sponsored by Zulip as part of their commitment to open source and we want to thank them for that! All round success!

Dear hivemind,

I'm looking for some survey form system that allows me to take a tablet somewhere without internet access, fill the form, and then the system syncs the answers to the backend when the tablet regains Internet access.

Very much liked this statement from Mario Campolargo at the EU #OpenSource Policy Summit:

👉 If the money is public, the code should be public. 👈

@giacomo I am dying to know what OSI's and FSF's opinion on the #HackingLicense are and whether it will get an "official stamp of approval". FSF seems to have not given an opinion on it yet, can't find what OSI said about it.

Why do you think it counts as #FreeSoftware license but not as #OpenSource license?

I find the license amusing, it apparenly grants me the right to EVERY copyrighted work? 😂 If only it were that simple …

I'm not sure if I like or dislike this license tbh.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jimmac/115989543616930121

I maintain that while this app ecosystem shines best on GNOME (whether on a laptop, desktop, or phone), there would be a ton of value in getting it in front of Android users; a long-term path towards them actually using Linux on mobile once it’s ready for “normies.”

Getting these apps on Android feels far more urgent to me than getting Android apps on Linux phones today.

Each of us is a non-profit. Each of us employ EU citizens as #foss maintainers. And each of us do long-term maintenance and development on independent #opensource implementation for DNS, routing and other foundational network protocols. So we thought we’d once again team up for a submission.

I'm a software developer with 40 years' professional experience, lucky enough to be considering early retirement. I love writing code and don't want to stop. I'm keen to give something back and contribute to one or more open source projects.

The questions are, to what shall I contribute, and how do I get started?

My skills are mainly C++, having spent much of the past decade programmatically dismantling and reassembling Microsoft Office files. I'm quite happy to learn Rust or Go, but don't really like webby front-endy ux stuff.

Any suggestions for a worthy project to which I could contribute? Please boost if you can.

I finally released the v2.2 software for CubeSatSim, the AMSAT CubeSat Simulator. This release was way too much work. It had too many bug fixes and new features. I need to push releases more frequently, as testing took forever and I kept finding bugs.

I’m very happy with the release. Combined with having more CubeSatSim Lites available, it is an important step for the project!

“We export public money and import long-term dependency.” - This was one of my key messages in my policy keynote at the OpenForum Europe EU Open Source Policy Summit 2026 last Friday in Brussels. Besides addressing why dependencies threaten our governmental action and what state sovereignty means today, I focused particularly on the economic aspect of Open Source. #OpenSource is a #key #driver of #economic #growth. An opportunity that we in Europe should seize.

happy digital independence day!

To compete with #Adobe Creative Suites, #Microsoft Office 365, & #Google Workspace, should we have a universal #OpenSource account for all #FOSS & #privacy -focused apps for an easy workflow?

This would allow a #GIMP user to switch smoothly among #Krita, #Inkscape, #LibreOffice #Kdenlive, #Blender, #ProtonDrive, #Joplin, & #NextCloud on #Linux.

“We export public money and import long-term dependency.” - This was one of my key messages in my policy keynote at the OpenForum Europe EU Open Source Policy Summit 2026 last Friday in Brussels. Besides addressing why dependencies threaten our governmental action and what state sovereignty means today, I focused particularly on the economic aspect of Open Source. #OpenSource is a #key #driver of #economic #growth. An opportunity that we in Europe should seize.

@Gina

I agree with the sentiment but disagree with the statement.

When people lose democracy, Open Source solutions become more important.

They are alternatives to the limited options then being offered.

For example, solutions such as Meshtastic for mesh-driven communication.

Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

I'm off to play with my little Warhammer minis, so you'll have to watch it t know what's in it!

Because my Mastodon feed still shows me content in languages other than English and/or Malay, I think I will soon find ways to get a translation API and configure my instance to be able to translate any posts on my feed.
