Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.
Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.
I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
So, I decided to create my own. 🤷♂️

I won a contest @libreoffice held, and I got all this KILLER LibreOffice swag from them.
I've used LibreOffice for so many years, from back in the mid 2000s when it was OpenOffice. It's better than Microsoft Office. It's totally free and open source, and you don't have to be logged in like you do now with Office.
Try it out if you haven't, you won't regret it.

Some great reasons to use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft 365
- It's Free
- It Works With Microsoft Office Files
- It Has Lots of Features
- It Is Cross-Platform
- It Keeps My Information Private
- You Can Sync Files With LibreOffice if You Want To
I personally have been using it for years, I love it. This article does a great job of outlining some of the reasons why.

Does anyone know when the official dates for #FOSDEM will be announced? I couldn't see on fosdem.org/2024/
I am just trying to plan for next year.
What will the Foundation do to protect projects at the heart of Matrix? How do we determine what those “core” projects are? And are there any projects that don’t belong at the Foundation?
We're beginning the process of defining a new governance framework for Foundation projects, in collaboration with the Governing Board and the rest of the ecosystem. matrix.org/blog/2024/08/heart-…

I just read on the fediverse about a trackball input system that is open hardware. When I looked at the website I found out that they design a headphone and several trackballs and mice.
I am happy with my computer mouse. But out of curiosity I might try a product of them later this year
