Hey @NVAccess do you know anybody that got executable applications and python to run on this? I can’t tell how far they are, but it is Lennox under the hood, but is trying to be an open source version of Windows. ReactOS 0.4.15 released | ReactOS Project reactos.org/project-news/react… #Windows #OpenSource
Our mascot Roc is bringing our community a special delivery: a heartwarming wallpaper from illustrator Michaela Martin to brighten up your desktop, laptop, and even your phone. In other words, all the places you can find Thunderbird!
ℹ️ Certaines applis sont présentes dans les 2 dépôts. Celles d'IzzyOnDroid sont en principe dans des versions plus récentes. IzzyOnDroid fournit les APK les plus récents ⚠️🐞 tandis que F-Droid compile lui-même les sources après contrôles 🔎🛡️
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Spring is back, bringing with it the return of our traditional Dev Updates, which you’ve clearly missed, and a fresh wave of improvements across the Jami ecosystem!
Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?

New post: Using LLMs as the first line of support in Open Source.
With a small amount of prep, we can help users to help themselves, rather than needing maintainer attention, for support requests that we could do without.
Our new Account Hub, a streamlined email setup wizard, is in Daily and landing in Beta at the end of April. Learn how our engineers and designers worked together to make it happen, where a similar experience will be next, and get a live walkthrough in our latest Community Office Hours. 🧙

The March 2025 Android Progress is out! In our latest update, we have:
* news on team changes (including some new iOS hires!) * our roadmap board * account drawer improvements * community contribution highlights and * an easy way to get involved!
For this year’s LibreOffice Conference we had two location proposals: Luxembourg and Budapest. Members of The Document Foundation voted to choose the final location, and we can announce that Budapest is the winner.
State of the Thunder: Volume 2 is out! In addition to the roadmap, we're talking about bug backlogs and ideas to clear them, cooperation between MZLA and the Thunderbird Council, address book databases, and Thunderbird on the command line:
The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.
As of the latest update of Microsoft's C/C++ extension (v1.24.5, released April 3, 2025), use on non-Microsoft products appears to have been blocked. Upon initializing the extension, I get the foll...
In den 2010er Jahren begann ich, eine öffentliche Einrichtung von MSOffice/ MSWindows auf LibreOffice/ ubuntu Linux umzustellen. Ca. 30 Systeme, mehrere Server, Office-Arbeitsplätze, Audio-Video-Workstations, mobile Radio-Sendeeinheiten
Der Prozess hat einige Jahre gedauert.
Wir haben dort in offenen Bereichen mit (einerseits nicht Technik/ Softwareaffinen und andereseits mit besonders Technik/ Softwareinteressierten) Menschen aller Altersgruppen vom Kleinkind bis zu Senioren gearbeitet. Der Linux-Desktop war damals schon kein Problem mehr...außer bei den besonders Schlauen, die dann sagten, bei Windows geht das aber so...🙄 Auch in einer anderen Einrichtung hab ich seit den 90igern alles auf #OpenSource aufgebaut, von Office über Server bis zu Spezialanwendungen. Einzige Ausnahmen sind bei @komin@bildung.social ein Druckertreiber zum Bedrucken von CD's, der nicht für Linux verfügbar ist und eine Sparkassenanwendung...ansonsten haben wir in den Jahrzehnten viel Lizenzkosten gespart 🙂.
Also, die Entwicklung ist doch schon lange absehbar gewesen. Wenn man jetzt erst damit anfängt...

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.
However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.
I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.
PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.
While we believe #Accessibility should be a key component of any project from the outset, one of the advantages of open source is that those with the knowledge are able to contribute to projects to help address shortcomings. @wireshark is "The world's most popular #network protocol analyzer", and a fellow #OpenSource project. Do we know any #A11y coders with an interest in #Networking willing to give them a hand with accessibility? See their post here: fosstodon.org/@wireshark@ioc.e… #FOSS
As we're excited for Jef to support the community in this role, we also extend a big thank you to @mattdm (who is not leaving the Fedora community either!)
Hello everyone! Current Fedora Project Leader Matthew Miller here, with some exciting news! A little while ago, I announced that it’s time for a change of hats. I’m going to be moving on to new things (still close to Fedora, of course).
