interesting #fediverse and #opensource news out of Germany "BundesMessenger is open source, as is Matrix - the underlying communication protocol on which it is built. Matrix is a decentralised open standard for real time communication; so it can easily support large-scale federation across Germany’s public administration while supporting full sovereignty of the application and the data." 🔗 element.io/blog/bundesmessenge…

One of the most rewarding things about using open-source software is that YOU can contribute directly. Don't know how to code? Don't want to donate money? That's OK!
Our friend Dustin Krysak brilliantly compared a software project to a construction job:
“Programming is the carpenter, but you still need the architects, designers, project managers, and permit people to make a construction job come together.”

It's wild that I'm still the #3 contributor to the Anaconda OS installer used by #Fedora, #RHEL, and countless other #Linux distributions, at least according to Github stats. Love how the #OpenSource stuff you worked on can live on, and you can see it grow after you leave it behind.
We might finally have a good #Linux tablet on our hands: Surface-like form factor, #Android app support, open bootloader, keyboard and stylus accessory, and the hardware is pretty great as well!

Dnes slavím narozeniny. 6.12.2003 jsem na svůj pracovní notebook nainstaloval Debian unstable. Od té doby ho aktualizuju a přenáším na nový hardware. Přežil mimo jiné 2x přešifrování disku (z toho jednou in-place) nebo migraci z i386 na amd64 (prakticky za chodu). A 19 let provozu. #debian #linux #opensource
In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

Godot Engine 4.0 is so close now, with an overhauled and powerful Vulkan rendering system and now their developers have a new blog post up detailing some plans.
#Whisper is an #openSource #speechRecognition model written in #Python by #OpenAI. I’ve just seen it in action. Extract an #mp3 from a video, run it through Whisper, and it turns every spoken word into text. It even does a very decent job in #Danish. Perfect for subtitling #TV and #video. I am very impressed.
Had a really fun conversation about Mastodon and the Fediverse today with folks at the #Oregon State University #OpenSource Lab, @osuosl.
If you don't know about them (or if you do!) please give them a follow. It's a great program for getting university students hands-on experience with key #FreeSoftware project infrastructure.

After 2 years of negotiations with Microsoft, the German Data Protection Conference issued a damning statement: German schools must not use MS365 due to privacy violations.
Fortunately, Linux, LibreOffice & Tutanota are very good alternatives. 💪🔐
The path to bringing you a great email experience on Android devices begins with K-9 Mail, which joined the Thunderbird family earlier this summer.
As we work towards a modern redesign of desktop Thunderbird, we’re also working to improve K-9 Mail as it begins its transition to Thunderbird mobile in Summer 2023.

👂🏽Do any #OpenSource #audio geeks know of tools for #Android and/or #Linux that can set separate equalization for each ear?
Because of #COVID, I have #hearingLoss in my left ear and I would like to boost higher frequencies to get it somewhat equal.
Thanks for any ideas. Please boost if you have audio-smart followers that might have ideas for me, and please wear a mask so this doesn't happen to you.
I can't sign this as I am not a constituent of the EU, but I hope this comes to pass and the EU forces some responsibility into the #tech corporations. Goodness knows the US isn't going to lead the way.
