New update released today! #LibreOffice 24.8.3 is now available, with bugfixes and compatibility improvements. All users are recommended to upgrade: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware #news


More improvements coming to #LibreOffice thanks to students in the Google Summer of Code! For instance, in Calc's Function Wizard, the functions are now nicely grouped together – rather than being in one big list: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


Hey @Tutanota , just filled your questionnaire. At the end I'm being asked to rate your app on GooglePlay. I give it 10 stars, but I won't install Google on my degoogled phone just to rate your app. I like it also because it's #FOSS and available on #fdroid


Wooooow… It’s been so long. Still love you, @thunderbird!

Thunderbird wird 20 Jahre alt, vielen Dank für diese großartige #OpenSource Software die mich fast genau so lange im Netz begleitet hat - das "Schweizer Taschenmesser" der #Email-Clients - Danke an @mozilla und die Open Source Community für @thunderbird und den langen Atem.

WLED Native now got entirely rid of the last proprietary components and no longer needs a separate FOSS flavor. What's more: it was just confirmed to be reproducible 🥳

WLED - Native lets you easily and efficiently manage and control all your WLED light devices from your Android device.

I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.

How do you keep up with the important topics that matter to you?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges! :codeberg:

get-it-on.codeberg.org/

Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌

That link is very temporary, so if it goes down here's the source repo :git:

May the open web be populated with more shiny buttons!

Oh, neat! A new open source app for Fuji cameras.

Currently Android and WiFi only, just supporting transfers so far. Bluetooth is planned, as is location support. Desktop and iOS versions are listed on the roadmap.

👉 "The core issue is that open source contributors are not paid fairly. 60% of open-source maintainers are unpaid volunteers, and just 13% make a living as professional project maintainers, according to the 2023 State of the Open Source Maintainer Report."

Boosts appreciated 🚀

it's really nostalgic to part with the robo-dog icon on home screen, but there's no better family for K-9 to get taken in by, hands down.
The bark notification sound will stay though. 😅😋

'It is fine not to like a piece of Free software' and other oft-unstated FOSS-related freedoms

“Free software”, according to the FSF’s definition, embodies four freedoms.

There are plenty more than that - or, at least, many freedoms which are inherent in, or arise from, those four freedoms - most of which go unstated most of the time.

This is far from a complete list, but rather my jottings based on ponderings and observations from the last few days, across a couple of different (intentionally unstated / unlinked here) things.

@Tutanota I just realised that all the comments I have added to my contacts over the years, including family-related and medical important information, are gone...

Bugs are becoming more common recently, and this one made me lose data. I'm quite disappointed.
