We're thrilled to announce our new project:
docs.coop/

Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/), we are offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.

Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🥖 (DINUM) and German 🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

At FOSDEM 2011 I attended the talk of @ossington about the #libregraphicsmagazine. I met her, @aiscarvalho and @rlafuente afterwards. It was a pleasure getting to know them and meeting them at FOSDEM the following years.

The talk:

The video:

I cannot tell what gem the libre graphics magazine is.

They lived the future 15 years ago.

Nothing fair about "Fair Source". That doesn't exist. It's just an excuse / attempt to ride the good vibes of FLOSS.

Being "open" is good marketing nowadays so companies love to climb onboard, especially if they can prevent from actually being open.

Free/Libre Open Source Software all the way.

Pessoal, uma oportunidade interessante, especialmente pra quem trabalha com ou é parte de algum movimento social. Mentoria em mídias sociais e comunicadores livres, com direito a bolsa. Os encontros são todos em inglês, o que pode ser complicado pra algumas pessoas, mas acho que vale a pena pelo menos dar uma olhada.

I'm thrilled to announce, especially on the occasion of the #Fediforum, that @medlab is launching an Open Social Incubator.

Our mission is to support a cohort of community builders who could use extra support in getting to know and learning to use open social tools.

Participants will receive $3,500, hands-on support, and a peer community.

Please spread the word! Learn more here: colorado.edu/lab/medlab/2024/0…

Open Call: Join the Open Social Incubator

Unless #nvidia literally #FLOSS'd everything like #LAPSUS demanded in 2021 that's not gonna happen...

Today's updated Flathub docs: more information for app developers about verification, including some more technical details. Inspired yet again by conversations with external ISVs.

What is verification?

^{docs.flathub.org}

Well, #Snap may be better on the #Server side but considering the "standard by consensus" on #FLOSS they should admit defeat and go with #FlatPak.

Espechally since #Canonical doesn't seem to yet provide the benefit of a #centralized #repo in the form of #QualityControl and #Verification of #Developers...

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

Also I think it should be respecting and accepting one's #privacy and be an #OptIn solution that is completely #OnPremise / within one's own IT.

After all, this is why I like and use #Nextcloud and @collabora's @CollaboraOffice #CollaboraOffice and all the other parts of my #TechStack:

I want every single component to be accountable to me down to every bit, and only #FLOSS allows me to have independent audits if need be.

Bonfire is a Fediverse project that aims to store your social data on a physical device that you own (for example a Raspberry Pi running Bonfire software). It will also operate offline if preferred.

It's still in development, but you can follow the project at:

The new official website is at bonfirenetworks.org

(It was previously known as CommonsPub.)
