Great! 👍 But look, guys, even if you maybe don't want to directly badmouth Microsoft, you don't have to keep pretending that most people prefer it.
Yes, there'll be minor switching abrasion; familiarity is a strong motivator - but I assure you, the number of users who *want to* work in MS Office or Windows is well witin a single-digit percentage.
- which also means feel free to improve on the experience. "We're not Big Tech" is not your only selling point.
🎷🦣 Mastoshare update — future of Mastoshare
Mastodon recently put a service that covers some Mastoshare functionality — sharing posts.
https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116160846932470950
What that means for Mastoshare? Mastoshare was never about money, but with a goal of making better UX of Mastodon. I believe semi-centralized solution is the right way, as it has network effect — the more people use one website the easier it is for everyone.

This is going to be so strange. This basically requires OS providers to use an online account similar to Microsoft's approach and to provide details of each account to third parties.
That's simply not going to work with open source operating systems — or lots of other software providers.
So far projects are reacting by banning use by Californians and Coloradons.

Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)

That's why, dear #OpenSource militants, people are reluctant to use alternatives. At least, some people.
One more post here said: "You should use LibreSpeed now, because SpeedTest is bought by some company, dealing with billionaires, something like that".
Okay, let's give it a try.
No main region — fine, at least there is heading level 1.
"Start" which should be a button, is… a piece of text. Nice? Nice.
then there is the server combo box, then ping, download speed, upload speed — all at zero, because we haven't started yet. Why is it showing at all? Question.
Okay, we are advanced peeps, we press space on Start and pray. Yes, it launches.
The results are not a region, no ARIA-driven announcements, no separate headings…
I mean, it's a dead simple service.
You might think I want to just bash LibreSpeed. No, I don't, at least, it's not my goal.
It's just an example. SpeedTest did it better — not perfect though, there are unlabeled elements, I want more headings, etc., but Start Test is a button, there are live ARIA announcements throughout. Hence I'll use SpeedTest. Because it's accessible. Because it's convenient. Because it's better UX.
And this is true for everything: operating systems, office suites, clouds (see my previous angry post about Nextcloud and inaccessible Copy Link dialog which Microsoft and Google managed to do accessibly).
We are roughly 15% of population. And also we have family, friends and people that listen to us.
Make this world accessible, and only then preach about bad billionaires, trackers and whatever else. You can repeat your mantras, but they won't get to my ears nor to my heart — I'm blind, and I need to work and to live in the digital world. And for that I need —
#Accessibility!
Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests
"Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).
The open source alternative: LibreSpeed. No tracking scripts, no GPS harvesting, no profile building, no ads and no data sold to anyone."

@deepthoughts10 #OpenSource like #pfsense is the best defense. Real #cybersecurity experts like us know the real threat is the closed source hardware no matter who makes it. Are these #exploits in #paloalto and #cisco ASA really just exploits or asic features implementened as intended that third parties found?
Open source is free like a puppy, not free like beer. 🐶
Our VP of Security, @joshbressers, applies this adage to AI-generated code in his new post on Techstrong.ai. He details the rise of "hidden dependencies," where AI copies open source functionality without creating a traceable package manifest.
For teams trying to automate compliance and reduce audit findings, these hidden risks are a major challenge. Josh argues...

👉 Dinit, the init system systemd should have been // Unixdigest
「 Besides the fact that the real motivation behind systemd was "political" more than anything, systemd has evolved into a behemoth of a monster with it's tentacles so deeply entrenched into the Linux environment that only few software products haven't been affected by it 」

Es war ein früher Abend im Jahr 1994, als ich mein erstes Modem anschloss, ein US Robotics Sportster mit 14.400 Baud. Ich erinnere mich noch genau an dieses Gefühl, als ich den Karton aufriss, dieses Knistern von Neuland. Dabei war der Rechner, den ich mir zusammengespart hatte, ein Vermögen wert, ein 486er mit ein paar Megabyte RAM, und ich hatte monatelang jeden Schilling umgedreht, um ihn bezahlen zu können. Heute lacht man darüber, aber damals war ein PC etwas für Leute, die entweder Geld hatten oder wie ich bereit waren, dafür zu hungern.
Dieses Pfeifen und Rauschen dann, wenn das Modem sich einwählte, dieses seltsame Geräusch der Verbindung, klang für mich nach Aufbruch, nach einer völlig neuen und offenen Welt, die da vor mir lag. Aber der Weg dorthin war alles andere als offen, denn oft genug brach die Leitung einfach zusammen, und ich saß wieder da, hörte das bescheuerte Besetztzeichen und fing von vorne an. Manchmal drei-, vier-, fünfmal hintereinander, bis endlich diese stabile Verbindung stand. Und wenn sie dann stand, war Geduld das Wichtigste, denn wer damals einen Megabyte herunterladen wollte, der konnte sich zwischendurch einen Kaffee kochen, einen Film ansehen und es war vielleicht immer noch nicht fertig. Zwanzig Minuten oder länger dauerte so etwas, und wehe, es gab einen Abbruch kurz vor Schluss, dann fing alles wieder von vorne an.

Thanks to user at end I started to use the Gemini protocol to read web pages. The first thing I loved about gemini browsers is that they are built with
Unix philosophy
Early Unix developers were important in bringing the concepts of modularity and reusability into software engineering practice, spawning a "software tools" movement. Over time, the leading developers of Unix (and programs that ran on it) established a set of cultural norms for developing software; these norms became as important and influential as the technology of Unix itself, and have been termed the
The Unix philosophy
The Unix philosophy emphasizes
Clients
On Android I have chosen buran, a gemini open source browser
On Linux I have chosen amfora an Open Source {ba{c{k{z{fi}}}}}sh client which is simple and fast
There is also lagrange a GUI client which looks interesting but I haven't installed yet

Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen.

Es war ein früher Abend im Jahr 1994, als ich mein erstes Modem anschloss, ein US Robotics Sportster mit 14.400 Baud. Ich erinnere mich noch genau an dieses Gefühl, als ich den Karton aufriss, dieses Knistern von Neuland. Dabei war der Rechner, den ich mir zusammengespart hatte, ein Vermögen wert, ein 486er mit ein paar Megabyte RAM, und ich hatte monatelang jeden Schilling umgedreht, um ihn bezahlen zu können. Heute lacht man darüber, aber damals war ein PC etwas für Leute, die entweder Geld hatten oder wie ich bereit waren, dafür zu hungern.
Dieses Pfeifen und Rauschen dann, wenn das Modem sich einwählte, dieses seltsame Geräusch der Verbindung, klang für mich nach Aufbruch, nach einer völlig neuen und offenen Welt, die da vor mir lag. Aber der Weg dorthin war alles andere als offen, denn oft genug brach die Leitung einfach zusammen, und ich saß wieder da, hörte das bescheuerte Besetztzeichen und fing von vorne an. Manchmal drei-, vier-, fünfmal hintereinander, bis endlich diese stabile Verbindung stand. Und wenn sie dann stand, war Geduld das Wichtigste, denn wer damals einen Megabyte herunterladen wollte, der konnte sich zwischendurch einen Kaffee kochen, einen Film ansehen und es war vielleicht immer noch nicht fertig. Zwanzig Minuten oder länger dauerte so etwas, und wehe, es gab einen Abbruch kurz vor Schluss, dann fing alles wieder von vorne an.

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit
Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

#Digitalisierung #OpenSource - Upcycling statt Elektroschrott - Erfolgreicher #Linux Installationsworkshop an der Fakultät Bioingenieurwissenschaften - "Da Windows 10 seit dem 14. Oktober 2025 ohne Microsoft‑Registrierung keine Sicherheitsupdates mehr erhält und viele ältere Geräte die Systemanforderungen von Windows 11 nicht erfüllen, stehen viele Hochschulen, Einrichtungen und private Nutzer vor der Wahl: Neue Hardware kaufen oder nachhaltige Alternativen nutzen? Der Workshop zeigte konkrete Wege auf, wie ältere Rechner mit Linux weiterbetrieben werden können und so zur Reduktion von Elektroschrott beitragen. [...] Die Veranstaltung zeigte eindrucksvoll, wie freie, offene und ressourcenschonende Software zur Verlängerung der Lebensdauer bestehender Hardware beitragen kann." - von Kajetan Hundhammer - #Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf #HSWT https://www.hswt.de/news-list/detail/upcycling-statt-elektroschrott
This weekend I'll be talking about building an open source project with open source features using open source hardware and a bunch of DIY all over the open source.
I'll also show that Joint Cognitive Systems - the thing that makes us socio-technically adaptive - is how we face the complexity of what feels like machines taking over.
And we're gonna make some noise!!

Mass media often associates the term hacker with cybercrime. However, in the Free and Open Source Software communities, the term is always honorific and indicates volunteer programmers specialized in the correction and improvement of public codebases.
FOSS hackers thrive in community-driven projects like Linux, Apache, and Wikipedia, where they collaborate for the common good.

Motorola announces strategic partnership with GrapheneOS, the reference standard for mobile privacy. This is the first mass-market challenge to the "digital slavery" model where users pay for services with their personal data.
GrapheneOS features: application sandboxing, hardened kernel with memory protection, no device identifier transmission. Previously limited to Google Pixel hardware — a forced compromise now broken.
Motorola, despite Lenovo ownership and Chicago headquarters, faces regulatory pressure from US, EU, and China demanding backdoors and user identification. Full Verified Boot with user-controlled keys would represent digital civil disobedience at scale.
This attracts journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious users. The open question remains whether regulatory systems will permit true hardware-level privacy for millions.

cmark
cmark is the C reference implementation of CommonMark, a rationalized version of Markdown syntax with a spec. (For the JavaScript reference implementation, see commonmark.js.)
It provides a shared library (libcmark) with functions for parsing CommonMark documents to an abstract syntax tree (AST), manipulating the AST, and rendering the document to HTML, groff man, LaTeX, CommonMark, or an XML representation of the AST. It also provides a command-line program (cmark) for parsing and rendering CommonMark documents.
Advantages of this library:
