While DAVx⁵ is a client-server sync tool we often get questions if there is a possibility to sync in server to server. We had a nice talk today with the creator @whynothugo from pimsync who does work on a tool that does exactly that.

Check out the project here if you're interested:

pimsync.whynothugo.nl/

We also added it to our FAQ: davx5.com/faq/synchronization/…

> Catima: [...] Aus Gründen der Datensparsamkeit sollten Sie – entgegen der Empfehlung der Entwickler.innen – natürlich keine Kund.innenkarten, Treueprogramme o. Ä. verwenden

Ich finde es auch ein gutes Idee, so wenig sollche Programmen wie möglich zu benutzen. Viele Leute haben aber nicht wirklich immer eine andere Option, weil Produkte oft teurer sind wenn mann diese Programmen nicht benutzt. Aber zumindestens trackt nur das Geschäft Sie denn, nicht auch der app :)

Lots happened in the #LibreOffice project in May! We had updates to the software, event reports, news about the upcoming conference and more: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource

Einen Umzug von offenen Protokollen (E-Mail) zu einem geschlossenen Dienst in einem autoritären Staat (Microsoft 365) werde ich nicht unterstützen. Nicht nachdem dieser geschlossene Dienst im autoritären Staat seine Mitarbeit am autoritären System bewiesen hat, indem dem Chefankläger des internationalen Gerichtshof der Account gesperrt wurde.

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen dustri.org/b/my-experience-wit…

Comparing #XMPP against #email protocols is too limited. What sets #deltachat apart is *vertical integration* and being driven by UI/UX considerations. Cross-platform Apps and Bots use the Rust core library which connects with #chatmail relays and classic email servers based on a higher level API -- abstracting over SMTP, MIME, #OpenPGP etc. See chatmail.at

#webxdc apps in turn use an even higher level stable API abstracting over email/xmpp/... see webxdc.org/docs/

in reply to Delta Chat

For #Conversations_im I literally developed the UI first. I had a somewhat working UI before I was able to put a single #XMPP message on the wire.

A shared library between different platforms is a good thing. People are trying to do this in XMPP (snikket-sdk, macaw) and if I were to start something new for Conversations I'd use something like Kotlin Multiplatform too.

However there is also value in diversity of implementations and the good ideas will prevail concept of XMPP.

I'm looking for alternatives to Microsoft Word. I do not want to pay the over 100 dollar subscription costs. I need to create clean, professional-looking Word documents, APA 7 referencing, etc. Must work with Windows 11 and jaws.

It's quite a changing environment, so there might be bugs that need some time to get fixed by Freedom Scientific or Google. Also, again, it's a browser, so you have to be attentive and not to close it too early. Personally I'm just more comfortable in desktop apps, that's why I love Microsoft 365. Oh yeah, you need to add Shift to go to the menus, for example. And at the first use, you need to turn on screen reader support and Braille support, even if you have no Braille display. I hihgly recommend you to go to @freedomscientific training page and search for Google Docs webinars.

You don't need to use weird spellings or algospeak for any topics on the Fediverse ("unalived", "seggs" etc). There is no automated moderation or algorithm on here, moderation happens entirely through human beings and posts are shown in chronological order.

In fact it's better that you use the correct spellings for difficult topics so that people with genuine traumas related to them can filter them more easily.

#FediTips

You know, I sometimes get tired of posts like "Wooow, I love Mastodon, I love fediverse, it's so great, welcoming and so on and so forth!". I was thinking like: okay, we know you love it here, we know you migrated from Xwitter, write about something meaningful, right?
But today is that day for me.
There is a movement in French-speaking #Mastodon called #Mastobada, where one person proposes a word, and those who want to participate search for a song with this word in any language. Now the word is "Liberty/freedom", BTW.
Do you know who I saw among the first songs? Tri Yann, a Breton group I thought no one remembers, and Inti-Ilimani, a chilean group I thought no one knows of!
Oh yeeeah, I love Mastodon people!

Tadoum-tsa, c'est l'heure de #mastobada !

Cette semaine, c'est le mot "liberté" proposé par @Ash_Crow !

Le principe est de trouver une chanson contenant ce mot, dans n'importe quelle langue :

🎶 Faites un pouet avec le titre et l'interprète, quelques paroles, un lien, sans oublier le hashtag 🎶

🤖 Pas de chanson générée par IA svp ! 🤖

Those of you who use an *open* text chat solution at work, what protocol is it based on?

Select multiple options only if you use more than one of these with some regularity, please.

Boosts appreciated.

(For avoidance of doubt, "something else" does *not* include proprietary solutions like Slack. If all the chat options you have at work are proprietary, you're not an intended respondent. 🙂 But you can still boost!)

Quick Update for Galaxy S25 Users:
A new update of approximately 1.2 GB has rolled out this morning for the S25 series. Interestingly, this update was delivered even before any news outlets picked it up — which shows that Samsung can skip regional release stages and push updates globally whenever they want.
Some sources are suggesting this might be a preparation update for the upcoming One UI 8 release. Either way, I highly recommend installing the update.

Man, making your own open-source Android OS for companies and not getting abused by them is a hard game. We're tracking tens of thousands of devices being used commercially with changes being made to the images yet we are not seeing any of that translate into commercial licenses. I don't know how other commercial Linux based operating systems are pulling off this corporate game.
I'm open to any ideas at this point.

Microsoft bought github to destroy it; the most anti- opensource company there is, buying the largest repository of open-source software? this was only going to end one way

edit: this is also why I think all the original owners are complicit in its destruction for a payday; and should be ashamed of themselves for throwing away such an important project to have a larger number in their already substantial bank accounts

They are getting on my last nerve and I'm not even a coder or developer. I'm sick of Copilot and I'm tired of having my work corrected when I didn't ask it to. I'm sick of having something pop up everywhere I am asking me if I want it to help me write something. And more importantly ... I'm sick of not having a way to TURN IT OFF. This reality SUCKS and it's not even totally HERE yet.
