Hello world! Greetings from the #LibreOffice Conference in Budapest. Of course, this is just one part of the wider LibreOffice community that makes the software – consisting of hundreds of people around the world. Join them! #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware

CoMaps is now on IzzyOnDroid!IzzyOnDroid is an Android store for Free & Open Source Software. The apps are free (as in „free beer“ and as in „free speech“) and Open Source.Builds for IzzyOnDroid are directly from developers and signed by developers. This enables very fast publishing (whereas F-Droid re-builds apps from source).There are several ways to install and update CoMaps via IzzyOnDroid:https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/app.comaps#IzzyOnDroid #FOSS #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSSCommunity #LibreApps

One of the things I love about Linux is the the upgrades are UPGRADES. The developers seem like they're focused on *fixing* things instead of finding ways to entrap me in their software. It took me until today to realize I hadn't experienced that with Windows or OSX in *decades*. New versions usually takes things away, move buttons around, and install spyware.#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux

One of the best things to witness is seeing someone forget about their Windows partition. Every success story shows that Fedora, and Linux in general, is continuing to push the desktop in the right direction - not only as an alternative to the mainstream options, but to what the desktop should have been all along.https://www.xda-developers.com/dual-booted-fedora-kde-forgot-windows-installed/#Fedora #Linux #OpenSource

One thing that has really surprised me about my move to Linux over the last year or so, is that there is not a single usable open source code editor for web development. I can't stand VScode, because it is a clunky bloated piece of crap, and so many others just copy it for some reason. A few others looked promising, but are just too unstable and lacks development, or even look abandoned. For the last few months, I have been trying to use ZED, as it seems to get hyped up, but it is absolutely awful, even if you ignore the AI functionality. It kept messing with my code, despite trying to tell it not too, and it's syntax highlighting is so bad, that three quarters of the page is often just one colour. Then there is all these popups appearing in font of the code I'm trying to write. I've ended up having to again just go back to Sublime Text, which unfortunately is propriety. But now I can see my code again, ZED has broken it by stripping out some closing tags and adding white space where I don't want it. That means I have zero interest in Zedless either, which is going to be the upstream code with the AI and telementary stripped out. I'm not one for usually grumbling about open source apps, as I understand it is people's own time, but I had expected a good open source IDE for Linux to be easy to find.#linux #ide #codeeditor #opensource #webdevelopment

@libredigital @eu_osI used #opensuse for a decade (as is already mentioned on https://eu-os.eu/faq). It's a cool distro. I used their build service. I got their t-shirt.However, the opensuse project has no legal entity and the suse for-profit company could be bought by foreign capital without recourse to the community/project.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#Organizationhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.#HistoryTheir atomic #kalpa edition is in alpha stage and doesn't offer consistency across the fleet as #bootc does. 1/3

If devices powered by Big Tech came with warning labels, would we pause before unlocking them?What we call convenience is often engineered dependency.Addiction. Manipulation. Data extraction. All embedded in the products and platforms we use.We’ve been here before. Just not with our "smart" devices.I wrote a piece exploring why Big Tech might be the Big Tobacco of our era and why it’s time we taking action against the harm.https://mangotek.eu/posts/big-tobacco-of-our-era/#bigtexit #privacy #opensource
