Not only is one German state moving from Microsoft to LibreOffice, but the whole federal government is committing to move to open standards by 2027: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl…
Digital sovereignty is becoming vitally important. If governments and organisations use proprietary or pseudo-standard formats, they limit the tools that citizens can use to access data.
just wish my university would let us submit assignments in .ODF format, as we can only really use Word... and as a Linux user that means Word Online, which is slow and clunky.
@toran Oh no! Ask your uni why they won't accept standardised formats, and force students to use specific software. It's the exact opposite of what unis should be doing. If they say "We use Microsoft Office/365", point out that Microsoft also supports ODF so they should at least accept documents in that format!
or just maybe They don't have enought money to continue using Microsoft apps ? Just got this in my mind. In poland some hospitals also using Libre and it is really bad to work with. And this is just because they dont't want to buy. Not because of security or other major problems. Just because of money.
Congratulations 🎉 Maybe little known: the German federal government was required to be able to process ODF since 2010 already: cio.bund.de/SharedDocs/downloa…
> Das bedeutet, dass die Bundesverwaltung bis zum 01. Januar 2010 in der Lage sein wird, Dokumente im Format ODF zu empfangen, zu bearbeiten, zu erstellen und zu versenden.
Back to the roots. Staroffice, the grandfather of Libre office, was born in Germany ~40 years ago. Despite several semi-successful conversion attempts, I hope this time the transformation will be permanent.
oh wow, I know that the Dutch gov is implementing opensource as well (using La Suite and OpenDesk) but MS's office suite is the biggest hurdle to replacing Office365. Maybe this will finally become an option? @opensource
Sorry, but unfortunately it's not quite that rosy. It's only a small federal state that is changing over. I could share the euphoria more if it were one of the big states in the south of Germany. Unfortunately, the city of Munich switched back to Microsoft when they built their German office there 😒
I'd be surprised if the German #bundesregierung really will switch to open standards. The new conservative government will soon realise who is able to pay more.
Good news! This fits well into ZenDiS' (Germany's center for digital sovereignity) current efforts to push "openDesk" (an open-source MS365 replacement product, in particular for authorities), which includes Collabora Office. See also @zendis

Defending Jan. 6 Rioters, Investigating Democrats: How Ed Martin Is Weaponizing the DOJ for Trump —
Since becoming interim U.S. attorney, Ed Martin has launched controversial investigations, rushed to defend Elon Musk’s DOGE and vowed to change how his office prosecutes crime in D.C. These are some of his most contentious actions. propublica.org/article/who-is-…
As interim U.S. attorney in D.C., Martin has fired career prosecutors, dropped Capitol riot cases and launched sweeping probes into Trump’s political enemies.
In 2021 I was interviewed, by my then employer CrowdStrike, on my experience as a trans person, coming out, acceptance at work, and some book recommendations.

Meson 1.8.0 is finally out. The way options can be set and unset has been completely reworked. This is probably the biggest refactoring ever in Meson. It took me on the order of 1.5 years to get it done.
So ... enjoy overriding options per-subproject from the command line but also expect regressions I guess?

I wrote a book on Linux Memory Management, published by @nostarch - it's a comprehensive 1300 page exploration of Linux 6.0's memory management code, depth-first, diving into the code and REALLY explaining how things work.
The idea is to avoid hand waving as much as possible and literally explore what the kernel _actually_ does.
It's full of diagrams and careful explanations of logic including a ton of stuff you just can't find anywhere else.
It's currently available in its entirety in draft form via early access when you pre-order.
This exhaustive guide to the Linux memory subsystem is the first major resource since 2004 to cover key concepts and essential techniques for developers.

The question is not really who will buy #TSLA, but whether or not anyone will. The real question is whether or not #Tesla has anything fundamentally valuable in the long term that can be bought.
Tesla doesn't really seem to have any technology assets. I can see that maybe their battery manufacturing operations might hold value, assuming anything we have been told about the company is actually true, and we can't be sure, because Tesla's CEO is a liar. But the cars?
Yesterday at the #PlayStation concert, a young, blind man sat next to me.
We got talking and it turns out he is an accessibility consultant for companies, including video game developers and has worked with Sony on God of War and other products!
He goes by his handle: Sightless Kombat.
He is entirely #blind from birth, but loves video games so is passionate about accessibility in the sector.
I told him to come join Mastodon as I think it’s the friendliest social network for visual impairments, he said he was thinking of joining but wasn’t sure which instance was good. I’m not sure if there is one that’s dedicated to visual impairment? I just told him to join mstdn.games 😅
Anyway, here’s his YouTube & Twitch channels, and website if you’re interested in seeing what he has to offer. The dude has platinumed God of War Ragnarok on its hardest difficulty, what a legend!
I'm an award-winning, multi-credited accessibility consultant and gamer without sight from the UK. If you ever thought "how can someone with no sight play a videogame?", you've come to the right place for answers! Relax, say hi and see just how I enj…
