😲 DeepSeek-V3-4bit runs at >20 tokens per second and <200W using MLX on an M3 Ultra with 512GB. This might be the best and most user-friendly way to run DeepSeek-V3 on consumer hardware, possibly the most affordable too. You can finally run a GPT-4o level model locally, with possibly even better quality. #LLM #AI #ML #DeepSeek #OpenAI #GPT #OpenWeight #OpenSourceventurebeat.com/ai/deepseek-v3…
DeepSeek's free 685B-parameter AI model runs at 20 tokens/second on Apple's Mac Studio, outperforming Claude Sonnet while using just 200 watts, challenging OpenAI's cloud-dependent business model.
The United Nations Open Source United community and the Open Source Initiative (OSI) today announced that the OSI has become the first organization to officially endorse the UN Open Source Principles.
Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.
Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.
But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.
@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.
In-Process is now available, featuring all the info on CSUN ATC 2025, Thorium Reader, how the NVDA 2025.1 Update is going, Open-Source software and a new RH Voice Update! Read it all here: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2… and don't forget to subscribe via email: eepurl.com/iuVyjo
Open-Source brings so many benefits. NV Access is proud to be part of the community, from welcoming code contributions, to decreasing cost for users around the world. It's easy to see why "Open-Source First" is a popular policy for governments & companies everywhere.
(*At least in Florence, Italy - a quick search found several dates this year - Open Source not only brings innovation, but also choice!)
"Retain users with convenience, honesty, and kindness." This is at the core of what we do at @thunderbird and it drives our features implementation. Sometimes we fail at that, we're aware of it, but we're human and we always try to do better.

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.
Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.
OpenForum Europe (OFE) is a not-for-profit, Brussels-based independent think tank which explains the merits of openness in computing to policy makers and communities across Europe.
In our latest office hours, we chat with Design Manager Laurel Terlesky to talk about the cross-platform design system she and her team are building. If you're curious about Open Source design and/or the look and feel of Thunderbird, check it out!

Announcing the first 15 endorsers of the United Nations #OpenSource Principles" – 8 practical ways for groups around the world to promote global digital cooperation through free and open source software.
✍️ Like software freedom itself, these principles are for everyone, everywhere - and the orgs you support can join a list of endorsers today.
The United Nations Open Source community is proud to announce that 16 leading organizations have the UN Open Source Principles, following the initial endorsement by the Open Source Initiative (OSI), bringing the total to 17.
I am happy to say I'll be at #DrupalConAtlanta, March 24-27th. I am really excited to finally see Atlanta, which I have heard so much great news about. Also, so happy to be connecting with others in the #Drupal community. I am looking forward to more conversations about #GovTech, #accessibility & #sustainability.
February may be the shortest month, but the Thunderbird desktop team filled it with updates, improvements, and important conversations. Including:
* What you can find in the new monthly Release channel * Talks on privacy and security * What's landed in the Calendar rebuild work and in EWS support on Daily * The new Account Hub, which you can test this week in Daily! * Global Message Database and In-App Notification news

When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1 I can only recommend just getting started.
Sometimes the smallest changes make a big difference. In future #LibreOffice versions, you can choose a currency from the drop-down with a direct click – no need to also click "OK". Learn more what our QA and Dev communities are doing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #OpenSource
Amazing campaign by the French not-for-profit association Framasoft.
The De-google-ify Internet project offers 26 ethical and alternative online tools that may be used by everyone.
They build open source alternatives to many Google services like Youtube, Agenda, Docs, Forms, Maps etc, as well other services to replace Doodle, Facebook Event, Github, Zoom, Slack and much more!
Check their beautiful website, watch the videos to know more about their work and follow them here in Mastodon:

Eta Carina by JWST (Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope) extends over seven screens here, I cut the poster's core part so that I have enough single pictures... it's on two laptops connected with #barrier #kde Note: The Nasa guys told me this photo (like so many others from JWT are only possible because they extensively use #opensource, e.g for position corrections and calculations.)

In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to Michiel Leenaars, who professionally gives out buckets of EU cash to open source projects.
The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org. Together with his team, he supports open-source, free solutions — funded by the EU.
The LibreOffice Conference 2024, held in Luxembourg, welcomed also many speakers that are involved in creating, supporting and promoting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in several countries.
