The EU country of France replaces all government desktops with proper Open Source environments.

The country wants to be as least dependent as possible of US American Technology because the USA has been proven to be unworthy as a partner

Thus the country of France takes an enormous step towards digital sovereignty

France's plan: Away from Windows, towards Linux

France's administration is to move away from Windows and US tools: the government is presenting a concrete roadmap for digital sovereignty.

New on The Sovereign Auditor -- a long read for a Friday afternoon.
France just committed 2.5 million civil servants to leaving Microsoft. The reasoning is simple: a server in Paris is not legally French if the company is governed by US law.
Meanwhile Australia signed a new five-year Microsoft deal in February.
Different calculations. Different conclusions.

What do people use / recommend for plotting *publication quality* plots of mathematical functions.

Not plotting data, plotting functions.

---

In opensource, matplotlib is huge, but it is fundamentally plotting data points, and plotting functions means creating domain data points and calculating their mapping, and plotting that. Unsatisfactory imo.

Similarly for the other tool, ggplot2 in R, it is designed for data.

In proprietary software, Mathematica is also huge, but imho their plots have always look janky and not publication quality.

What I haven't explored is "latex packages" which purport to do function plotting. I'd be surprised if they did fancy things like not crashing at singularities. Is this what authors use for polished publications?

---

Attached image is mathics3, an open source implementation of the Mathematica language. Looks fine for blogs, but not for a book typeset in the style of the classic Springer texts imho,

Why the hell do I constantly have problems with KDE Plasma and that piece of crap Akonadi???? Constant error messages, crashes, etc. whenever I try to connect to a calendar! It doesn't matter at all whether I try the Nextcloud Calendar, iCloud Calendar, or Google Calendar. And when I remove an online calendar, everything freezes—the entire KDE desktop. I’ve had this problem for years, no matter which version of KDE I use. I never have these kinds of problems with GNOME or GNOME Calendar. Akonadi is just a piece of software crap. 💩

FSL and BSL belong on any list of false-promise licenses:

• https://fsl.software/
• https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/#whatis

They are not open source. They are restrictive source-available licenses dressed up with “open” language.

Reading the code is not enough. If users cannot freely run, use, or build on the software because of field-of-use or competition restrictions, the software is not open source.

Marketing it as “open source” or even putting “open” in your name is misleading twice: first in the license, then in the messaging.

✊️ France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

This is a photo of a 6-CD set case for "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource". The CD case cover has a whimsical cartoon character on the front, which appears to be an anthropomorphic penguin dressed as a wizard, complete with a wizard's hat and a magic wand. The character is standing on a stylized representation of the globe. The background is blue and there is a yellow banner on the top right corner that says "QuickStart Guide inside". The packaging suggests that this is a software resource kit for Linux developers from the era when software was commonly distributed on CDs.

This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.

2/2 Once I finish testing I'll publish all the results and methodology to show that the features in omnimem are helping rather than just a pure retrieval metric from the Valkey data store.

You can follow along on the v5 branch and particularly issue #19 at: https://codeberg.org/ric_harvey/omnimem whilst you're there drop me a star please :) It'll all help as I don't have celebrity backers ;)

#opensource #aims to #memory #claude #openai

1/2 So if you're wondering how #omnimem compares to #MemPalace:

result: single-session-assistant type achieved 94.6% on longMemEval.

However, v5 is bringing in LOTS of changes to help with temporal reasoning and multi-session improvements by allowing users to optionally switch on enrichment queues for remember_document(). This will extract individual facts from larger documents helping with the recall() function.

FreeBSD keeps showing that serious open source work also means serious hardware testing.

This laptop compatibility website is a great example of that. It gives people a clearer view of what actually works on real machines and makes FreeBSD more approachable for anyone thinking about using it on a laptop.

What I like most is that this is practical work. It helps users make better decisions, reduces guesswork and strengthens trust in the ecosystem.

🦀 Redox OS — the Rust microkernel OS — has banned all AI/LLM-generated contributions.

Their reasoning:
❌ LLMs produce code that "looks correct" but hides subtle bugs
❌ No chain of accountability for AI-written system code
❌ Legal risk from training data copyright
❌ Erosion of contributor understanding

For OS-level code, this position makes sense. Every line of kernel code has a human who understands it.

Working on an #opensource project can be strange sometimes.

Personally, the strangest is seen when people want something changed.

Some peeps simply ask. (Yes, do this one)

Some get extremely angry that it isn't already like they want and demand it be changed.

Some people try to pay for the change.

Some try to guilt you to make the change by saying other software is sooo much better because it does x, y, z.

Some will try to guilt you by saying this change is the one and only thing keeping them on other software, and if you make the change they'll switch.

Some ask on #reddit, but since I'm not on there, it never reaches me. They then get mad it never happens 😵

It's truly a study in people's character.

Self-Hosted Backend: Appwrite 1.9 bringt MongoDB

Appwrite 1.9 bringt MongoDB-Support, ressourcenbasierte API-Keys und Query-Filter für Realtime-Subscriptions. Hinzu kommen Performance- und Compute-Updates.

I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

@eniko To my mind, Luanti hits it just right, targeting low-spec hardware. Even an 8-year-old laptop with a weak Intel video chip will play it just fune. A #luanti server will run on a $5 US/mo server. #Voxelibre is the most fun #OpenSource game I've ever played, BTW.

Consider contributing to the already-existing Luanti community, instead of undertaking a new project that will likely take years to finish. They could use help with the most basic things, like cleaning up documentation, etc.

Consider advocating its inclusion into default #Linux installs, becoming the new Solitaire or Minesweeper.

I'm making a #browser #extension for #firefox is pretty cool!

But something that isn't listed anywhere, is how when you reach 10k users, all of the updates you make have to be manually reviewed by the #Mozilla #addon team.

Usually, I'd be fine with this, but how long do you think it took for an update that was just approved today?

Well, it took a little bit over 3 weeks for this one! With no position in queue whatsoever in the developer dashboard. It's quite a long timeframe, if there's a critical bug for example you need to be able to update fast!

Apparently itns because there's a huge amount of malicious vibe-coded #AI submissions. I wonder what could be done to improve the review times? (Because ranting is useless unless you have a solution in mind!)

Maybe increase team size? But that will cost lots of money. Use an AI to filter malicious submissions? But then you'd have people tricking it, and false positives. I don't really see a way...

Erster Post -- endlich.

Ich bin Andi, Geschäftsführer von ACNTCP aus Mannheim. Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz -- das ist mein Alltag.

Warum eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz? Ehrlich gesagt: weil ich's kann und weil ich's wollte. Das reicht mir als Begründung.

Die Instanz ist geschlossen, keine öffentliche Registrierung. Ich möchte die Kontrolle behalten wer dort aktiv ist. Wer Interesse hat, kann mich direkt ansprechen.

Dieses Konto wird halb beruflich, halb persönlich sein. NIS2, ISO 27001, Datenschutz -- aber auch was mich sonst noch beschäftigt. Ich bin kein Fan von Unternehmensaccounts die sich anfühlen wie automatisierte Pressemitteilungen.

Freue mich auf den Austausch hier.

I'm fascinated with fractal mathematics

>The Mandelbrot set (/ˈmændəlbroʊt, -brɒt/)[1][2] is a two-dimensional set that is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers c {\displaystyle c} for which the function f c ( z ) = z 2 + c {\displaystyle f_{c}(z)=z^{2}+c} does not diverge to infinity when iterated starting at z = 0 {\displaystyle z=0}, i.e., for which the sequence f c ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(0)}, f c ( f c ( 0 ) ) {\displaystyle f_{c}(f_{c}(0))}, etc., remains bounded in absolute value.[3]

It creates an ephemeral pod running full TUI with eBPF process attribution, deep packet inspection for 21+ protocols, and automatic cleanup when you're done.

Today I donated a few bucks to an open source project that I have fallen in love with.

I was a bit disheartened after searching around a bit to see many people discussing how they've never donated to an #opensource project, even if they use it daily.

So here's a gentle reminder: We think nothing of spending $20 a month to subscribe to a megacorp, so how about instead you take a minute to donate five bucks to an #OSS project you use and enjoy. If everyone did that, the impact would be huge.

Doc-comments (NatSpec) in Solidity are extremely important, because they are often the only source of documentation related to a smart contract.

Mein neuer bester Freund im Terminal? Die KI! 🐧💻

Ich muss es einfach mal sagen: Bei der Einrichtung und im Terminal hilft mir KI aktuell extrem weiter. Komplexe Befehle verstehen, Configs anpassen oder einfach mal nachfragen "Was macht dieser Flag eigentlich?" – das spart unglaublich viel Zeit und Nerven.

Aber Hand aufs Herz: Ein gewisses Grundverständnis bleibt Pflicht. Man darf nicht jeder Config und jedem Befehl blind trauen, denn unfehlbar ist die Technik leider noch nicht. Wer den Output versteht und kurz gegenprüft, hat aber das ultimative Power-Tool an der Hand. 🛠️

Nutzt ihr KI auch schon als „Live-Support“ direkt in der Konsole oder tippt ihr noch alles klassisch?

Easter test weekend, initial findings. 😎

On Fedora 44 Beta GNOME Edition, the file manager crashes every time I try to access my NAS. There are also frequent freezes with apps that weren’t included by default and were installed later.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS also comes with GNOME 50, and unlike Fedora, it already includes kernel 7.0, which is great—especially for the latest hardware. This beta also seems to run more smoothly and stably than Fedora’s beta.

However, it’s impossible to install or get Flatpaks to work, even though I installed the feature myself.

It was also absolutely impossible to install the Nextcloud client, neither as a Snap nor as a Flatpak. I couldn’t get AppImage to start, even after making it executable.

Nevertheless, both distributions already make a great impression and leave me wanting more as soon as they become stable. Ubuntu, in particular, has positively surprised me after many years; major strides have been made, whereas with Fedora, hardly any major changes are noticeable—they’re more under the hood. 👍

There is now a fork of #OnlyOffice
called Euro-Office.

A few times I’ve heard some people express doubts about whether OnlyOffice is truly #OpenSource. At first glance, the question seems easy to answer: OnlyOffice is released under the AGPLv3.

But the developers believe they’ve found a way to prevent forks:
https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2026/03/onlyoffice-flags-license-violations-in-euro-office-project-by-nextcloud-and-ionos

They write that the AGPLv3 allows for the addition of “additional conditions” to the license. However, Section 7 refers to “Additional permissions”:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.en#license-text

“Conditions” is not the same as “permissions.”

If OnlyOffice were to prevail with its interpretation, then AGPLv3 would not be an open-source license.
