Da sich die Welt um uns herum verändert, versuchen viele Regierungen und Organisationen, ihre Abhängigkeit von Tech-Giganten zu verringern. Hier ist ein aktueller Bericht darüber, wie ein deutsches Bundesland 30.000 PCs auf LibreOffice (und längerfristig auf Linux) umstellt:

With the world changing around us, many governments and organisations are trying to reduce their dependency on tech giants. Here's an update on how one German federal state is moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice (and longer-term, Linux): blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware

#SchleswigHolstein goes #OpenSource

Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen. Und von unseren Kolleg:innen hat auch noch keine:r gemurrt.

Und ihr? Habt ihr schon gewechselt?

If you’re using @protonprivacy services, it may be time to reconsider. It’s official—they are leaving #Mastodon in favor of #SiliconValley’s Big Tech social media platforms.

Rather than nurturing and prioritizing their #community, they’ve chosen to focus on #numbers and #reach. This decision is completely at odds with their #mission. Paradoxically, they position themselves as a company committed to #freesoftware and the community, yet they’re distancing themselves from one of the most iconic spaces of that community: the #fediverse.

This shift is evident in the series of controversial #businessdecisions they’ve made over time—such as the creation of #ProtonWallet, the introduction of #AI, their preference for closed ecosystems, and the failure to prioritize #Linux development.

647,961 downloads of #LibreOffice 25.2 since we released it last week! More stats here: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware



Die neue US Regierung zeigt deutlich: auf die USA und seine Firmen ist kein Verlass mehr. Es braucht mehr denn je #digitalesouveranitat . Diese bietet #freesoftware wie

#openSUSE #linux
#libreoffice
#inkscape
das #kde Projekt
#xournalpp

Und viele andere. Ich nutze diese täglich in meiner Arbeit als #lehrkraft. Auch meine eigene Notenverwaltung (in Entwicklung) ist quelloffen:

Aber: diese Projekte leben nicht von Luft. Wenn es euch möglich ist, dann spendet an die Projekte, tragt Code bei oder bringt euch anders ein: Unterstützung bei der Fehlersuche, Tipps und Hilfen, Dokumentation,...

30,000 PCs are moving from Microsoft Office to #LibreOffice in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. At the recent Univention Summit 2025, we met the people handling the migration: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware


And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.
I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.

So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.
I hope that changes one day.

So the Social Web Foundation invites everybody to come over to Microsoft. 🙄 I see room for improvement.

"So, people interested in ActivityPub, standardization, and group dynamics in general are invited to review the documents and submit GitHub issues or comment on existing issues."

Found random Ali-sourced RGB string with USB dongle.
Duck'd the app name + HomeAssistant.
Found HACS integration for it.
Needs Bluetooth. Too far from HA server.
Found Bluetooth Proxy for ESPHome.
Enabled BT Proxy on my ESP32-S3-Box-3 Voice Assistant.

HA autodiscovered the dongle and IT WORKS JUST FINE!

Fscking hell, I love Free Software and HA in particular!

222666 is your lucky number: It marks issues in #Forgejo that allow you to help improve the software and thus #Codeberg.

If you are interested in picking up a task, I'm happy to help and mentor where I can. Let me know if you prefer #coworking or at least a code reading session via screenshare.

Ready for @sfscon We are excited to be back in Bolzano on 8 and 9 November! 🤯

⭐ We will be there with a booth, talks and workshops, and more!

We cannot wait to know who is winning the 2024 European SFS Award 🏆 and to meet the students participating in the #Edulife project as well as the rest of the #FreeSoftware community 🤗

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

🚨 The European Commission is planning to stop funding for #FreeSoftware projects.

This will be a blow to #DigitalRights & the health of the internet.

The future of an open internet needs public funding ✊🏾

Codeberg knows to implement #ProtocolsNotPlatforms so that every service can inter-operate without lock-in.

So that we don't get a #FreeSoftware community so confused that they worry "why are some people not linking their software project to *this one proprietary platform?*" like that's a bad thing.

Codeberg service runs on #FreeSoftware and respects our #SoftwareFreedom, not trying to lock us in to the platform.


#FreeSoftware refers to freedom, not price.

It guarantees its users the essential four freedoms: use, understand, share and improve

@unfa That would probably have to be `foot`.
Fully native & minimalist Wayland terminal that I use every day. Although minimalist, it has many semi-hidden features like piping scrollback URLs to a fuzzy-find launcher app of choice (e.g. `rofi`, `wofi`, `dmenu`, `fuzzel`, etc...)
Such a productivity boost! Launch URLs from the terminal, no clicking, just using keyboard shortcuts & fuzzy find to select. 🚀

What's your favourite #FreeSoftware that is #NotOnGitHub (or on other proprietary code forges like #GitLab.com)?

Let us know in the comments! Feel free to also share code from other #Forgejo instances, #Sourcehut or other platforms.
