Had to leave @librewolf Matrix group due to it getting spammed & people participating in this group getting invite spam including myself.
Apparently there is no option to counter this in @element or in the @matrix specs? Maybe it could be a bit less annoying if the room was invite only?
Anyways, I'm not willing to deal with this abuse & my only option was to leave this room for now. Pretty sad & angry about this type of behaviour still happening.
Amazing campaign by the French not-for-profit association Framasoft.
The De-google-ify Internet project offers 26 ethical and alternative online tools that may be used by everyone.
They build open source alternatives to many Google services like Youtube, Agenda, Docs, Forms, Maps etc, as well other services to replace Doodle, Facebook Event, Github, Zoom, Slack and much more!
Check their beautiful website, watch the videos to know more about their work and follow them here in Mastodon:

Eta Carina by JWST (Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope) extends over seven screens here, I cut the poster's core part so that I have enough single pictures... it's on two laptops connected with #barrier #kde Note: The Nasa guys told me this photo (like so many others from JWT are only possible because they extensively use #opensource, e.g for position corrections and calculations.) Here's the full version, I also made a DIN A1 poster of it - well worth the frame. webbtelescope.org/contents/med…
Today I learned that my humble hobby project #Linux #Desktop Migration Tool is being used in a company with 600k employees to migrate to new Linux workstations.
It's amazing how far code I started writing at night to help myself can get.
So this is a good time for #Governments in #Canada to start putting some distance between big, proprietary, American companies like Microsoft, IBM and Adobe, and start seriously shifting #GovTech to support #SmallBusiness & #OpenSource
We can now follow the example of many European countries!

In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to Michiel Leenaars, who professionally gives out buckets of EU cash to open source projects.
The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org. Together with his team, he supports open-source, free solutions — funded by the EU.
The LibreOffice Conference 2024, held in Luxembourg, welcomed also many speakers that are involved in creating, supporting and promoting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in several countries.
Máte pár minut volného času, který byste chtěli věnovat na věc sloužící všem? Upravujte #OpenStreetMap ve svém okolí, je to snadnější než tušíte.
Velké firmy jako #SeznamCZ vzali kdysi z OSM vše dostupné (#mapy_cz) a do OSM přestali přispívat.
Je spousta příležitostí, co v OSM aktualizovat: přidat nový obchod, upravit otevírací dobu, přidat odkaz na homepage úřadu, atd. To vše jsou velmi jednoduché kroky v pohodlném online editoru. #mapy #opensource Průvodce: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cs…
@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.
If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).
If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:
feat: add per-user rate limits;
feat: suggest hashtags while typing;
feat: swipe navigation between posts;
feat: exclude stop words from timelines;
feat: add shortcuts to other instances ("guest mode");
feat: open post detail as thread;
feat: post translation;
feat: followed hashtag indication;
feat: show source protocol for posts;
enhancement: support for embedded images.
This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.
Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash
But what really worries me are my emails on Thunderbird. I really hope they're being very careful with extrapolating that already awful language to my favorite email client.

Mozilla's new direction of Firefox is scary. They seem to forget that the core audience is using Firefox for privacy and security and not for AI features. It is so stupid that they are following big tech. It is time to fork out FF and sponsor the development using donations. No AI or anything else was added to the FF.

LibreOffice communities around the world help people to use the suite more effectively. Here's our Nepalese community training students on making CVs: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
The Nepalese community mentored CS50 students in Nepal create their very first resume for securing internships! Our Nepalese community writes… LibreOffice is a powerful open source office suite for many users worldwide.
@WofWca and I were discussing doing mp3 encoding in some web project. He suggested using some WASM port of ffmpeg. Farooq replied "Do you want to buy an entire home just to charge your phone with one of its outlets?". "If the home is FOSS" WofWca replied. "Trust me you don't want your home to be FOSS." Farooq answered and continued "Let's go through basic freedoms. Do you want your home to be used by anyone for any purpose?". And then WofWca was enlightened xD
Hey everyone, what's cooking in the open-source universe? 🤯 I just stumbled upon something that's seriously mind-blowing.
So, there's this Python library pretending to be a music tool (automslc), but get this – it's actually illegally downloading songs from Deezer! And the worst part? It turns your computer into an accomplice in a huge music piracy operation. Seriously, a digital pirate cove. 🏴☠️
And then there's this npm saga with @ton-wallet/create... Crypto wallet emptied, just like that! 💸
The moral of the story? Open source rocks, but blindly trusting everything is a recipe for disaster. Always double-check those dependencies! Automated scans are cool, but a real penetration test? That's pure gold. 🥇
Clients are always so appreciative when we can spot and fix this kind of stuff beforehand!
Now, I'm curious: What are your go-to methods for keeping your codebase squeaky clean and secure? Any tips or tricks you'd like to share?
LibreOffice 25.2.1 is now available – the first minor release in our new branch of the suite. All users are recommended to update: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
With videos describing new features on YouTube and PeerTube Berlin, 27 February 2025 – LibreOffice 25.2.1, the first minor release of the new LibreOffice 25.
Hier könnt ihr unser aktuelles Spotlight-Interview mit @Tutanota, einer datenschutzfreundlichen E-Mail-, Kalender- und Kontaktlösung aus Deutschland lesen:
I will post news and updates about the campaign here and on this blog post (that will be updated regularly until the voting closes): ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2025/02/28/…
🤔 If you wanted to contribute to an #OpenSource project working on various types of social goods, and contribution opportunities were curated through the global UN Volunteers* Programme, how likely would you be to pursue that option?
Why volunteer online? Through Online Volunteering, you can contribute your skills and expertise towards achieving sustainable human development efforts of organizations around the world.
Whether or not you use LibreOffice, it's very wise to save your documents in a free and open format – so that you don't get locked out of them in future! Learn more on Document Freedom Day, coming up on March 26: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
In one month, on March 26, we will celebrate Document Freedom Day 2025. For the first time in a while, the LibreOffice project will play a major role in organizing the event.
@rzeta0 Tuta is great, I use Tuta, but they constantly make the claim about being part of the #opensource community, but the only part of Tuta that is actually open source is their client-side. What people actually need, server-side is not open source. Self-host capability is one of the most important parts of open source and Tuta didn't get that right.
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.

#OpenSource Desktops, for example #GNOME, need to do #innovation (again?)! What was the last thing from GNOME that was truly innovative and had a significant impact (also outside open source)?
We are just running behind the big corporations and their ideas. Having new ideas is not hard. It doesn't need to cost a lot of money to implement them. It mostly just needs the will to experiment and try out new things.
But also for that we need quick processes to get such ideas finished and released.
