I recently had a conversation with an important leader in the Free Software movement about why I no longer feel safe there.
When people who promote violence and spread antisemitic conspiracy theories are given "GNU" awards, there's a deep problem.

Automatically finding other #prav users is a core feature of @prav but in the last update this functionality was broken. We missed this during testing of the update.
I just added 2000 rupees to the bounty - we will give the money raised to anyone who fixes the issues.
Would you consider increasing the bounty? Small amounts are ok too.

⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️
The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

#BuyEuropean ist nicht genug, damit Deutschland und Europa ihre Abhängigkeit lösen können. #DigitaleSouveränität gibt es nur mit Freier Software - auch und besonders im #DStack.
Diese Entscheidung stärkt die europäische Wirtschaft, denn es gibt hervorragende #FreieSoftware - der Staat muss sie endlich finanzieren, beschaffen und einsetzen!

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!
This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member or volunteering for a youth association, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.

Hallo liebes Fediverse!
Die Göttinger Linux User Group aka *GöLUG* freut sich am 23.11. wieder einen Linux und FOSS Software Support Nachmittag ankündigen zu können 🥳
Der Flyer ist so schön geworden auch dank des 2. Bildes von @PiratenLeipzig
Falls das hier jemand liest und Leute in und um Göttingen kennt die gern auf Linux umsteigen wollen leitet das gerne weiter. Das ganze ist gleichzeitig ein Treffen der LUG, also sind auch alle herzlich willkommen die Bock haben mehr für die Verbreitung von freier Software in der Gesellschaft zu tun 💪
Wir wollen in Zukunft auch Vorträge in Göttingen veranstalten deshalb sind wir dort immer auf der Suche nach Speaker*innen für freie Software. Also meldet euch gern, wenn ihr wen kennt!

The European Commission on Wednesday gave the go-ahead for a group of four countries to establish a common organisation for building #opensource alternatives to much-used software.
France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands will work to develop open, European alternatives in “key areas” such as AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and – curiously – social networks.
