The EU’s Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies. But for feedback on the Cyber Resilience Act, they're asking for feedback in .xlsx format!

Ausbildung ist bei GONICUS kein Randthema, sondern Teil unserer Kultur. Wissen teilen, gemeinsam besser werden, Verantwortung weitergeben – genau das leben wir seit Jahren. Open Source ist dabei mehr als Software: Es ist die Haltung, Lernen offen zu machen.

I had a long discussion on #digitalsovereignty with our IT chief today after I complained openly about being forced to use Microsoft suite

I was informed that:
1) there is no #OpenSource alternative appropriate for a medium sized research institute like ours

2) my data privacy concerns were an ungrounded conspiracy theory

3) employees either don't want to use open alternatives to #USTech or are too inept to do so

4) open alternatives at the enterprise scale cost money and are therefore not competitive with Microsoft

5) partners in the #HorizonEU that I (will) coordinate need to offer their own solutions if they don't want to use #MSTeams

Happy #DIday y'all

MEINE GESCHICHTE! Die Big Player kamen nicht plötzlich – sie waren von Anfang an da!

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.

For Semaphor er det en fornøjelse at byde Signe Lystup og Martin Hjelm fra Erhvervsakademi København velkomne som datamatikerpraktikanter hos Semaphor frem til medio april. Overraskende nok tilbyder datamatikeruddannelsen ingen form for introduktion til open source. Heldigvis er Signe og Martin både nysgerrige og super motiverede til at gå all in på open source.

“Den største grund til, at det er så fedt at være i praktik hos Semaphor er, at det er rent open source”, siger Martin og fortsætter: “På vores uddannelse er undervisningen baseret på Microsoft produkter - og vi får ikke kendskab til alternativer. Vi hører intet om open source og lærer ikke nogen open source produkter at kende. Det er virkelig en mangel. Hos Semaphor er vi fra første dag blevet introduceret til open source produkter som Bruno, VSCodium, NixOS, Open WebUI og GitLab. De fleste af dem kendte jeg ikke til i forvejen. Det er vildt, at man går og tror, at man er låst af big tech – og så viser det sig, at der er andre muligheder, som er virkelig gode og som vi forstår intuitivt.”

Signe supplerer: For mig er det mest positive, at Semaphor er en værdidreven virksomhed. Den måde udviklerne arbejder på, passer præcis med hvordan jeg synes, at det er bedst at lave kode. Hos Semaphor bruger vi open source programmer til alt. Det er underligt, at så mange ikke ved, at der er open source alternativer til alt – og at de er virkelig gode.”

Ved at have Signe og Martin som praktikanter og give dem et grundigt indblik i open source, tager Semaphor action på et af de vigtigste punkter i vores manifest – nemlig at åbne kommende generationer af IT udvikleres øjne for open source alternativer til big tech.

Tobias Fonsmark fra Semaphor ser det som en alvorlig udfordring, at fremtidens danske IT udviklere udelukkende undervises i big tech. Især fordi der i hele Europa er en massiv bølge i gang med netop at frigøre sig fra big tech afhængigheden.

“I Semaphors manifest står der, at “vi insisterer på, at IT undervisningen omfatter open source teknologi for at fremme digital suverænitet”. Som IT virksomhed kan vi sætte fokus på problemstillingen – og det gør vi i alle relevante sammenhænge - men det er politikerne, der sidder med ansvaret og beslutningskompetencen. Et ønske om at blive undervist i open source produkter fra de IT studerende selv kan man ikke sidde overhørig”, understreger Tobias Fonsmark.

BIG news from #ECMWF: a portable version of our global forecasting model is now open source! Development of #IFS started in 1987 and just a year before entering its 4th decade it is now available to all.

This continues our journey that started a few years ago, when we made a first and growing number of several key model components available.

Endlich! Ein Smartphone, das wirklich uns gehört und nicht den Datenhaien!

Fühlst du das auch manchmal? Dieses leise Unbehagen, wenn du dir überlegst, wie viel dieses kleine Gerät in deiner Hosentasche eigentlich über dich weiß. Wen es gerade wieder fragt, wo du bist. Wem es zuhört, wenn du nur über etwas sprichst und kurz darauf erscheint passende Werbung auf dem Bildschirm. Es ist dieses Gefühl, dass unser ständiger Begleiter vielleicht gar nicht so sehr uns gehört, sondern eher ein gepflegtes Loch ist, durch das unsere Daten ungefragt abfließen.

Doch jetzt, zum ersten Mal seit Langem, gibt es echten Grund zur Hoffnung. Eine Nachricht macht die Runde, die wie ein Versprechen klingt: Ein bekannter Hardwarehersteller und die Stiftung hinter dem wahrscheinlich sichersten mobilen Betriebssystem der Welt wollen gemeinsame Sache machen. Sie schließen sich zusammen, um ein Smartphone zu bauen, das wirklich uns gehört. Ein Gerät, das unsere Privatsphäre nicht als Störfaktor betrachtet, sondern als oberstes Prinzip.

If there was a popularly agreed-on icon for #OpenSource that might be a good candidate for an #emoji

But I see four different designs for that on a quick search

You need one that people will get behind, recognize, and be excited enough about to use at a sometimes underwhelming 16 px

Also, one of the best use cases for LLMs is to produce tools for deterministic automation.

Hallo #Mastodon

Wir sind #neuhier im #Fediverse und wir setzen uns für die Nutzung von #OpenSource-Software in #Bayern ein.

Für uns ist unverständlich, dass Bayern weiterhin auf eine Ausstattung der Behördenarbeitsplätze mit #Microsoft setzt.
Dadurch würde die wirtschaftliche & technische Abhängigkeit Bayerns von #US #BigTech noch weiter verstärkt und Aussagen zur #digitalen #Souveränität blieben ein Lippenbekenntnis.
Wir freuen uns über jede Unterschrift zur #Petition

But that's just in general what I love about open-source stuff:
Contributions to one thing also benefit others.

Improvements "downstream" can also benefit "upstream" and vice versa.

It's just cool to be, somehow to some degree, part of something that can become something bigger!

That's also why I occasionally contribute stuff to OpenStreeMap, or BeaconDB, or OpenFoodDB and such.

Open databases and stuff are great!

I'd also contribute to Wikipedia, but they consider stuff I know about irrelevant.
I'd love to contribute more to cartoon Wikis, but not to "Fandom"'s advertising machine, so, only if the wikis are non-fandom hosted, which...are few, sadly, it seems.

Anyway, open stuff and collaboration is great!

Screenshot of the lashmanApps website. Dark page with a deep teal-black gradient background. At the top, a small "APPS" label in a rounded border, followed by the title "lashmanApps" in large text where "lashman" is white and "Apps" is italic teal-blue. Below, the tagline "Focused, minimal, privacy-first software." and a badge reading "ALL APPS ARE FREE & CC0-LICENSED" in small caps. Six app cards in a two-by-three grid. Each card has a dark glass-like background with rounded corners, an icon on the left, the app name in bold, and a short description. Top row, left to right: - Core Cooldown, teal coffee cup icon. "A mindful break timer for Windows." - Whisper Voice, purple microphone icon. "Local speech recognition for Windows." - TypoGenie, warm gold letter T icon.

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

Anybody know how to force LibreOffice to default to exporting PNG instead of WebP?

Specifically, I use Impress as a way to make quick and lazy graphics and then export to PNG. But for some damn reason it always defaults to WebP, which I do not want and have been unable to find the toggle to make it not do that.

It does not, as one might hope, remember the last setting used. Nope. Always WebP.

(Also, why of all formats would it be set to export to WebP and not JPEG or PNG?)

#LazyWeb #LibreOffice #OpenSource

Ab September 2026 wird #Google auf #zertifizierten #Android Geräten das #Sideloading von #Apps einschränken/Blockieren!!!

Blockade nicht zertifizierter Apps:

Installation von APKs oder Apps aus #Drittquellen (z. B. #FDroid) wird standardmäßig unterbunden.

Betroffene Geräte:

Alle Android-Geräte mit #GoogleMobileServices (GMS)-Zertifizierung.

Technische Hürden:

Nutzer müssen ggf. manuelle Freigaben (z. B. über #ADB) vornehmen oder auf nicht zertifizierte Geräte ausweichen.

Ausnahme:

#Enterprise oder #Entwickler Modi könnten Umgehungen ermöglichen?!

Begründung:

Google verweist auf #Sicherheitsrisiken durch #Malware, Kritiker sehen darin eine #Marktbeherrschung zugunsten des #PlayStores !

Folgen:

Alternative #AppStores und #OpenSource Projekte verlieren an Zugänglichkeit.

I'd like to present visualization as an approach: basic heatmap rendering functionality for the output corpus obtained from fuzzing:

Loading tokens from a provided dictionary, building an AST;
Scanning queue files;
Building a position matrix;
2D visualization: pivot_table converts a list of coordinates into a "token" × "position" matrix.

The screenshot shows an example visualization for the auto-dictionary of the djxl utility from the JPEG XL project in logarithmic representation.
Of course, this approach has its downsides, such as the challenge of finding an optimal substring matching algorithm.

ITT: cryptographic options for dealing with age verification.

I'm aware of California's law about age verification and OSS. There is a potential option involving some fairly simple but possibly novel cryptographic protocols.

I have drafts of some such protocols, but I am not a real cryptographer and I'm subject to release review requirements, but I can talk about the general ideas.

I've been congratulating him  on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock

It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.

helenOS

Quote

HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system designed and implemented from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand.

Since this is a today I've learned I will learn about helenOS just like you, when you follow the links

Micro kernels can be very interesting

Good Idea: Make GrapheneOS Mainstream

https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

Most people never get to choose a truly private phone, not because they don't care, but because the secure options always felt too technical or too niche. That's changing.

Motorola just announced a partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation! Bringing one of the most respected privacy-focused operating systems into the hands of everyday users.
No more choosing between security and a phone that just works.

A friend, @chloetankahhui has been speaking up against the proposal to enforce age verification at the OS level, and the QRTs to this shows the extent of naivety that a lot of people have.

No one who does hardware security believes that any system is bulletproof, but do you really think that circumventing these things will always be a simple firmware mod or hardware hack?

Just released systab — a single-file Bash script that gives you a cron-like interface for systemd user timers.

If you've ever wanted the simplicity of crontab but the power of systemd timers, this might be for you. Natural language schedules, desktop/email notifications, a crontab-style editor, and persistent services — all without leaving the terminal.

🖥️ SaaS zeigt: Windows ist kein Muss mehr – Linux schon!

Microsoft zensiert Kritik („Microslop“ verboten, Server dicht) – doch SaaS beweist: Man braucht kein Windows, um zu arbeiten. Dann lieber gleich Linux, wo man Kontrolle, Privatsphäre & Stabilität hat – ohne KI-Gängelung oder AGB-Diktat.

Wer hat den Schritt schon gemacht?

TLDR: I’ve implemented #QuantumResistant #Encryption into my #P2P messaging #webapp using #MLKEM (#Kyber) to protect against future #QuantumComputing threats. Read my latest #Blog post to see how I’m securing #DataPrivacy today.

My journey into #PostQuantum #Security
I’ve been working hard on my latest project update, focusing on how we can protect our #Privacy from the looming threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. I just finished writing a technical deep dive into how I’ve implemented #QuantumResistant #Cryptography into my #P2P messaging platform.

The core of my approach involves using #MLKEM (formerly #Kyber) to ensure long-term #DataSecurity. I’m particularly proud of the #CascadingEncryption layer I’ve built; by combining #NIST standards with the #SignalProtocol, I'm ensuring that your #Communications remain #Secure even if a single algorithm is compromised in the future.

If you are into #OpenSource, #InfoSec, or #Decentralized #Tech, I’d love for you to read about my implementation and the challenges of bringing #QuantumResistance to the #Browser using #JavaScript.

This is a follow-up post on the sad state of Mozilla

First, notice the date of the commit identified (as highlighted in a few posts below this one).

Secondly, Mozilla has done further changes to their Privacy policy since this initial change. I am not fully convinced about them - since the Privacy FAQ at the same time is not aligned. The reason for my continued mistrust to Mozilla is that they have gradually, over many years, moved in a direction I do find privacy unfriendly. And they have ties/agreements/contracts/partnerships to companies who does not have a good track record on privacy topics. I generally trust people and organisations actions more than their words of what they want to do.

Thirdly, it should be fairly clear to most that AI/LLM is not preserving privacy well when data is sent to a remote server to be processed there. And even running parts of the LLM engines locally does not fully disentangle the privacy aspects fully - data is still being exchanged with a remote server (otherwise there would not need to be "AI service provider URLs" in about:cofig). Mozilla did force AI/LLM unto users, enabled by default with the only way to disable that in the beginning via about:config. And it took several releases before more user friendly approaches to disable it arrived. Due to this delay, I really wonder "does these new knobs really fully disable AI/LLM?". I have that doubt, because of how Mozilla has behaved over many years.

On top of this, the Mozilla leadership is extremely well paid while they have reduced their engineering teams working on Firefox and other products. That is a too strong indication for me to ignore, that profit and leadership compensation seem to be way more important than the core mission of making Internet a better place.

I have little trust in Mozilla for the time being. And I doubt I'm alone, due to the traction this toot thread triggered. Currently, I believe trust can be built up again. But it will take a lot of efforts now to repair what has been broken. For that to improve for me, I will need to see a lot of actions from Mozilla, where they clearly does changes in the whole organisation and communicates them clearly and that the communication is aligned across all aspects - including policy documents, FAQs, source code. Until that happens, I will use some of the Firefox forks. And leadership compensation need to be completely transparent and come down to a level which is not in an astronomic level comparable to large for-profit enterprise companies who generally cares little for anything than their own egoistic wealth.

If a person taking a leadership role in an organisation claiming for a better Internet and fighting for its users is getting uninteresting unless there is a million dollar yearly compensation when the people doing the grunt work, delivering code resulting in a real product, has a 5th or 10th of that compensation, then I do question the values this person holds. And I will especially highly question the leadership when they need to reduce cost and choses to cut among the engineers doing the grunt work while the leadership not considering their own compensation.

So basically, I find the Mozilla organisation fairly rotten currently. It preaches the nice words but ends up doing something completely different.

No idea why my 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard configuration utility (#8bdkbd) #GitHub repository has been increasing starts a bit faster lately. Actually quite surprised it has this "many" stars.

I'm glad, since I put it out there so that it could help someone else. But since I've published it and configured my own keyboard, it's been pretty much fire and forget.

(Theory: maybe people got keyboards for Christmas and found the repo as they started using the keyboard?)

A graph showing the amount of GitHub stars for the repository goncalor/8bitdo-kbd-mapper across time. The x axis is not very well specified, but should start around April 2024 and ends now (January 2025). The red line shows a curve close to proportional across time, starting at 0, ending in 34. Around January, the curve gets steeper.

As an enthusiast for open source software who is also disabled, I get frustrated at how inaccessible a lot of open source software is. When there are accessibility options, they're usually bolted-on additions that don't work very well. Disabled users are forced into ad-hoc compromises that are laborious to install and labyrinthine to operate. The frustration often drives us back to corporate software. OSS is high friction and low benefit for many disabled users.

Open source developers would gain a lot from integrating accessible design into their products from the ground up (like TTS! My kingdom for fully integrated neural TTS on my browser and operating system). Accessibility features don't just help disabled people. More than half of all people using a phone use accessibility features. Do you really want to exclude half your users?

Accessibility also requires you to think about things like simplicity of design and ease of access for all your users. It can provide redundancy for errors (for example: alt text can be helpful when an image doesn't load, captions can provide a backup if their audio drops out, alternate input methods can allow people to continue using an app if they have keyboard or mouse issues). It can improve design (example: clearer instructions, easier to read text, simple consistent navigation). In short: it makes your software better.

Making the world more accessible for one group improves access for all: this is a basic principle of universal design. Stop excluding us and start making us the core of what you do — you will be a better developer for it.
