One week ago, we announced LibreOffice 25.2, our brand new major release. It’s packed with new features, and has many improvements to compatibility and performance too.
Its "latest and greatest" are: - tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags); - new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.
The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).
It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.
Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash
We hope you're enjoying the new features in #LibreOffice 25.2! Our community of developers, from the ecosystem and volunteers, is working hard on improvements across the suite. Here's what they did in January: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource

Posledních minimálně 15 let byly překlady GNOME do češtiny ve výborném stavu. U každého vydání jsem jen hlásil, že je vše přeložené, poslední roky to platilo i pro drtivou většinu dokumentace. Poslední rok se to ale začalo zadrhávat. Přispěvatelé, kteří to dlouhé roky táhli, odešli a není nikdo, kdo by to po nich převzal. Proto jsme se rozhodli jít s pravdou ven: GNOME momentálně nemá české překladatele a pokud se toho neujme někdo nový, překlady začnou postupně upadat.
The venerable curl is one of the most fundamental pieces of code in the modern world. A seemingly simply utility - it enables other programs to interact with URls - it runs on millions of cars, is inside nearly every TV, used by billions of people, and is even in use on Mars.
And, as of last week, features a small contribution by…

On February 1st I had the privilege of getting to speak at the first Fluconf about Open Source and why that whole movement might not do as much good for as as we might want it to. It’s not that Open Source is “bad” but that it is sometimes presented as a solution to sociopolitical issues it is not capable (nor even trying) to fix.
The talk description was:
“People interested in Fluconf will also be interested in Open Source or to be more precise Free/Libre Open Source Software. Everyone has been using Open Source for many years but many from this community have shifted to trying to run their personal infrastructures on non-proprietary pieces of software and some even hardware.
This is already an important shift towards freeing ourselves and each other from corporate dominance but is it really doing enough? Are our licenses protecting the values we actually care about?
Coming from a luddite background I want to dive into a a bit of a critical reading of the values that we use codified mostly as licenses: Are they really enough? Which aspects are they missing and why? And what are the consequences of those omissions?
I’ll try to end up looking at mechanisms of integrating luddist principles in software projects. Can they offer additional safeguards?
This sessions doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But hopefully some good questions and a few ideas of where to go.”
I embedded a copy of the video on Youtube but you can also watch it on Archive.org for less tracking and everything.
#LibreOffice #foss #opensource #freesoftware I have a serious question. Will LibreOffice ever be a product with batteries included regarding grammar and spell check on a high level? I know that we have a very good spell checking, but I was wondering if there's ever something planned to have a really working grammar and style checking tool like languagetool out of the box.
The new major release provides many user interface and accessibility improvements, plus the usual interoperability features Berlin, 6 February 2025 – LibreOffice 25.
@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!
Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.
Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash
📢 January 2025 Newsletter is here! We’re kicking off the year with exciting updates: ⚙️ Rust support progress for Native 🔤 Web font improvements in GL JS
For those encountering random video playback application crash heisenbugs on the open source #AMDgpu #Mesa drivers on #Linux (thankfully, with #Wayland this no longer crashes the entire system), with the suspicious "CS has been rejected" error, here is the bug I reported upstream: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…
The theory is that the DRM's implementation of AMD's Unified Video Decoder does not properly keep track of #Flatpak process IDs. A patch is underway.
many congratulations for this richly deserved award, and I’m looking forward to seeing your contributions to the EOSA. I stand ready to support the #OpenSource mission!
As an aside, I found the curl stickers in building K on the side of one of the Linux distribution tables, but you were nowhere to be found this year! Sad to miss the annual opportunity to say “thank you for curl” in person.
@RaccoonForFriendica I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!
Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated. @Fitik @Cătă@TamilNeram@Ricky-Tigg
To old users, I've added two new big features: swipe navigation which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail and the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there. Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.
Don't miss UI/UX Design Studio Manager Laurel Terlesky's #FOSDEM talk, "Thunderbird: Building a Cross-Platform, Scalable Open-Source Design System" at 13:30 (CET) today. Watch in person (K.3.201) or online (live.fosdem.org/watch/k3201)! #Thunderbird #OpenSource #Design
If you didn't find us at #fosdem today, there's still tomorrow! Building K, Floor 1 - play with Thunderbird for Android, meet the team, find out how to get involved, and get stickers!
We're live at #FOSDEM in Brussels! Come to our stand in Building K, grab some merch, and buy a T-shirt/hoodie to support the LibreOffice project 😊 fosdem.org/2025/ #foss #OpenSource
Now that we're all excited about our iOS job opening, it's a great time to post the Office Hours with our Mobile Team from earlier this month. It's naturally pretty Android heavy, but we do discuss the new role and our plans for iOS!
(At FOSDEM this weekend? Meet our mobile team at our booth in Building K, Level 1!)
