@fdroid @thunderbird
@matrix @davx5app @peertube

The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.

For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.

Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.

2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.

Strongbox is nice to store passwords.

PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.

And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

Black & White from Lionhead Studios released originally back in 2001 went on to great reviews, and won various awards. Sadly, it's one game that has also been lost to time but the openblack project plans to revive it with open source.

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.

You are using #LibreOffice but don't want to create or modify a complex citation style for your needs?
Thanks to our #GSOC contributor, you can now choose from the vast amount of #CSL styles in JabRef and use them together with LibreOffice.

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

Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.

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.

The coming EU Cyber Resilience Act will affect all Open Source projects. The Eclipse Foundation has created the Open Regulatory Compliance working group together with a list of other Open Source organisations to jointly develop best current practises and have a continuous dialog with regulatory bodies.

Mikael Barbero will present this important workgroup at the NSSS24!

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. 🤷‍♂️

There are some amazing people who provide all kinds of support about Thunderbird, whether it's here or in our official Mozilla Support (SUMO) site! If you've ever wondered how to get involved there, or are just curious how it works, our most recent Office Hours shows you the ins and outs of tackling community questions. You don't need a cape to be a Thunderbird superhero (also, no capes!), just skill, knowledge, and time!

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.
