Plasma 6.7 is out and landing soon on your distro of choice! You can look forward to easier menu customization, better control over your mics, and, as for virtual desktops... Well, well, well! You get keyboard navigation and the much anticipated feature of having separate virtual desktops on different monitors. Find out about all the new stuff packed into Plasma 6.7 here: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.7.0/ #Plasma6 #desktop #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds". A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word. If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service. When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something? The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised. They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right? If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place. You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation. #mastodon #openSource #linux

RE: https://social.overheid.nl/@DigitaleOverheid/116770750754434960 The Dutch government-wide codeplatform (code.overheid.nl) is one of the projects that has been awarded Innovation Budget!! 🥳🎉🍾 I'm super proud of this project. The #codeplatform is a nice example of using #opensource alternatives (Forgejo instead of Github) to make the gov more sovereign and collaborate better. This contribution allows us to further develop the codeplatform. In the next community meetup we'll work on our roadmap. 🚀 @bo@social.codefor.nl @marlenabcn@mastodon.social @johan@social.codefor.nl @manfredzielinski@mastodon.nl @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl

Coming up in #LibreOffice 26.8, our next major release (due in August): the border toolbar button in Calc is now a split button that remembers and reapplies the most recently used border style. Thanks to Andreas Heinisch for implementing this feature! #foss #openSource #freesoftware

@dewomser@social.tchncs.de Das ist doch völlig egal was die Webseite von #Qualcomm sagt. #Arduino war #opensource Du kannst weiterhin die #opensource Variante nutzen oder einen #Fork damit machen. Du wirst ja nicht gezwungen die #Qualcomm zu nutzen.

Tja... Was nun? Dem Druck nachgeben und ein neues #Kolorimeter kaufen? Hat jemand Erfahrung mit dem #DataColor #Spyder5 in Verbindung mit der #opensource / #foss Software #displaycal / #argyllcms ? Bisher habe ich für meine #Fotografie seit Anbeginn der Zeiten auf #mswindows gesetzt, von NT4 über #Windows 2000, XP, 7, 8.1 bis aktuell #Windows10 mit ESU-Lizenz. Jetzt muss ich mich entscheiden: künftig #Windows11 oder #Linux? Zwei #Kubuntu Testinstallationen laufen seit gestern...

Auf "unserer" Realschule in NRW 2004 war dieser "Vorreiter" ein Lehrer, der Pinguin-affin genug war, um einen eigenen Informatikraum mit 20 PCs und Suse + KDE einzurichten. So haben "wir" damals einige Stunden Informatik auf dem KDE-Desktop und mit Internetrecherche in Konqueror absolviert. Die Workstations der Schule liefen sonst mit Windows 2000. Meine erste Erfahrung mit Linux zuhause könnte damit zu tun haben. War 2005, als ich Suse von mehreren DVDs installiert habe. Netzwerktreiber gab es für meine Hardware nicht und .exe-Dateien gingen im Texteditor auf. Ich war dann schnell wieder bei Windows. Aber immerhin war jetzt bei mir abgespeichert, dass es was anderes gibt. Bin heute Linux-Systemadministrator. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/vorreiter-verwaltung-und-politischer-rueckhalt-wie-open-source-in-die-schulen-kommt/ #Linux #opensource #KDE #Schule #suse

Most people can't answer a simple question: who holds my data, what are they allowed to do with it, and how do I reduce that? The information is scattered across dozens of accounts and buried in privacy policies almost no one reads. This free open source tool turns that fog into a ranked list of concrete actions and alternatives. PERSONAL PRIVACY SCORE https://privacyscore.me #privacy #opensource #freesoftware

Linux in Schulen ist ein wichtiges Thema. Denn was Kinder kennen gelernt und oft genutzt haben, werden sie sehr wahrscheinlich im späteren Leben weiter nutzen werden. Eine Schule auf OpenSource um zurüsten ist super, es würde aber auch schon reichen, wenn über OpenSource gesprochen würde.

Meine Top 7 der aktuell meistgenutzten Apps und Projekte, die ich auch mit einer Spende unterstütze:

GrapheneOS
DAVx⁵
Tasks.org
Gadgetbridge
KeePassDX
RethinkDNS
Voice

Alles Projekte, die mir im Alltag einen echten Nutzen bringen und zeigen, dass gute Software nicht zwingend Tracking, Werbung, Cloud-Zwang oder Datenhunger braucht.

Freie Software lebt nicht von allein. Wer sie nutzt und es sich leisten kann, sollte sie auch finanziell unterstützen.
