The UK's Investigatory Powers Act has way too much power. By forcing Apple to remove its encryption for UK users, it threatens the #privacy of everyone.
We at Tuta would never build a backdoor - and our #opensource code is proof of that.

Apple to backdoor encryption? Round 2 | Tuta

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.
We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.
It's the classic FOSS funding problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been more important. And yet we can't pay our bills.

I'm baffled about the myriad of @mozillaofficial structures, amount of directors / C-level people & how to rhyme 'investing in privacy-respecting advertising; with 'draw a bigger circle of supporters over the long run.'
As a long time Mozilla supporter, I was already unhappy about the direction of the last years & this does certainly not bode well for the future. 😞 😩

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕
Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.
Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.
This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.
Without further ado, THANK YOU to:
- @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
- @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
- @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
- @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
- @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
- #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
- #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
- @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
- #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
- @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
- @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
- #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
- #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
- @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
- @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
- @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
- @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
- #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
- @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
- #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
- @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
- @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
- #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
- #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
- @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
- @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
- @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
- The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!
Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.
I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

Information and insights concerning the configuration and maintenance of Tommi’s server.Tommi (Tommi’s mind)
The world needs secure communication more than ever, as a bulwark against the surveillance, authoritarianism, and oppression increasingly enabled by Big Tech. Matrix seeks to meet that need, as an open source, decentralised, encrypted comms protocol.
But Trust & Safety is more difficult in a decentralised environment. How are we building a safer Matrix?

🗳️ Der Chaos Computer Club fordert seit Jahren: Software, die zur Durchführung von Wahlen verwendet wird, muss #OpenSource sein!
👍 Das finden wir auch!
Und nicht nur das: Alle Software in der Verwaltung muss unabhängig überprüfbar sein, damit Sicherheitslücken schneller geschlossen werden können und ein Einfluss von außen ausgeschlossen werden kann. 🔍

"The UK’s war on encryption affects all of us" via @verge.
Indeed, the UK's actions imperil security across the globe.
It's worth highlighting that open source comms tools, like @matrix and @signalapp, empower researchers and users: you'll _see_ if a backdoor is added.
Not so with proprietary tools. Do you really trust Meta, Apple, or Google not to roll over on you?

LibreOffice 25.2: The first week, in statistics - The Document Foundation Blog
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.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.
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

GNOME nemá české překladatele
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.
