Hyped for Thunderbird Pro? The team has shared an update on what's planned, including Thundermail e-mail address, appointment scheduling, file sharing, and maybe a bit more!
Thunderbird Pro will offer Thundermail email service, appointment scheduling, file sharing, and maybe even AI features. Email will be hosted on German servers.
#NextCloud really drove me angry. They simply choose to ignore accessibility concerns in favor of so-called "security". It's absolutely none of their business to protect users from viruses and trojans, and saying that "We can't allow one-press copy public link because a script can call this API" is total BS, because in this case any attacker script has access to every file on that PC! Great job, NextCloud, great job. Whenever someone tells me once more about "giving up big corporations", I'll point them to this issue. And yes, I really hope someone sues them because their #desktop client is a total accessibility nightmare. github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… #OpenSource #Accessibility

BudgetBraillerBlog: BudgetBraillerBlog Intro. “A manual brailler costs a little under $1,000 and electric braillers cost significantly more. Given that I was just at a 3D printing festival and you can build a 3D printer for under $200, I decided to try to design one.”
On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”
To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

I wish there was an open-source license that had an ‘if you are a company with over $<X> revenue, then you owe <Y>% of it to the project’ type of clause.
Wouldn't that mostly fix the problem? Is there such a license available now? #openSource

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution.
