When we create or share a document – whether a simple text, complex spreadsheet or professional presentation – we make a choice that goes far beyond the file extension. This is because the format gives us, or takes away, control over the content.
How can #OpenSource and #security be interconnected? What will be the future of funding the open source-dependent public digital infrastructure?

Great to see the political leadership in #Estonia which is allowing the public sector to continue to lead in digital government. There are a lot of #OpenSource wins which the world is already benefitting from.
#LibreOffice #foss #OpenSource I love #Libreoffice because it gives you the choice of which interface to use. Because you never have the feeling that someone is constantly looking over your shoulder. And because ODF documents are much more efficient than Microsoft files. I have been using #Libreoffice for many years. I bought my first version in Munich, when it was still StarOffice version 5.2. That was quite a long time ago.
I love #LibreOffice as I believe in #opensource and all of our #ToolChain should be free for everyone - just like our #data should belong to ourselves. We want free Tools! We need them more than ever! - Besides that #LibreOffice is the Nr. 1 Open Source Tool I use besides @inkscape and @GIMP - Thanks for keeping up these Options! It is a lot of work - but so important to all of us! Thank you! #opentools for Free People! #democracy

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.
So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.
I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!
