This looks really sleek and attractive. Well done, #LibreOffice, this doesn't look like the average #OpenSource and #FOSS software.
I would have guessed that this is #MicrosoftOffice because I don't use it at all, and it is the last #OfficeSuite that I saw and interacred with.

Found this on other account. Please boost for reach: Fedora Linux is focusing on accessibility for the next five years. I'd love to see people with disabilities, very much including blind people, comment on this. If you're interested in Linux, or free and open source software, your voices are valuable. I hope Fedora finds our voices valuable too.

Fedora Strategy 2028: Focus area review (Accessibility)
Hello. Yes, sometimes, setting things up is a challenge, however, things are improving. The QT environment variables are definitely not needed for QT 6, and likely 5. Same can be said about GTK_MODULES, which are not needed at least from GTK 3.Fedora Discussion
That is NOT my app!! It's could be modifidd from the original in an unknown way, and surely a #FOSS #copyright #violation!
My app is _only_ available through @fdroidorg at f-droid.org/en/packages/name.b… or you can download F-Droid-signed APKs from @Codeberg (codeberg.org/marco.bresciani/T…) or the GitHub mirror: github.com/marcoXbresciani/TKC… and nowhere else.
BE CAREFUL!!
#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 15 updated and 2 new apps:
* NekoBox: universal proxy toolchain
Aaand I'm excited to announce that one app returned fully FOSS, and will soon show up as reproducible at F-Droid (so you can cross-update)!
🥁
* Amethyst: Nostr Client for Android
will soon be the first Nostr client entering F-Droid, if I didn't miss any.

@IzzyOnDroid #opensource at its best:
I recently installed vector pinball from @fdroidorg - great to kill some time, and especially fun because of the sound effects and background music. Out of curiosity I followed the link to the README in it's github repo. In it, the author thanks the guy who added the sound effects and music, who wanted to try out a sound library for android and therefore sought out a silent open source game and created sounds and music for it. He wrote an article about it here: twittering.com/webarchive_arti…
So thanks to this exemplary #FOSS collaboration I'm having a good time, whenever I have a five minute break.

Unfortunately going with "permissive" license is not really being generous: it is giving legal justification to others to use your code to exploit users.
As I personally look at Free Software from the "consumer protection" angle, I don't think the so-called "permissive" licenses are ever a good idea.

The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big sibling (slightly more specced up) - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got slammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See puri.sm/ #foss #opensource #linux

I was surprised at my phone ringing last night, until I realised I got a real non-test push notification from the experimental fork of Nextcloud made by Niklas Reimer. It uses @unifiedpush in the #foss and @fdroidorg compatible version of Nextcloud, and notifications don't go through Google Services or the Nextcloud Push gateway.
Something very exciting is coming!

If you are looking for open-source sampled instruments to use in your music, here's a great repository:
sfzinstruments.github.io/
They use the SFZ format which is the best way to make sampled instruments. It's open-source, easy to edit (all based on text + audio files) and well documented.
To use these instruments in Ardour or other DAWs I'd recommend the open-source plug-in sfizz:

@libreoffice has a #DarkMode. 😍
OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
