I just wanna say THANK YOU to everyone here who is talking about, testing, and even contributing to the #nixbook project!
When I started this project last year, I could never imagine it being this far along and well loved by now.
#foss really is the best damn way to do software and love y'all!
The 25.11 release of Nixbook is going to be an epic one!
Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.
But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
Ein Leben ohne US Konzerne ist möglich 😉 Vor 2 Jahren habe ich alle #gafam + #bigtech Services / Tracker / Repositories per DNS Filter konsequent geblockt, seit mehr als 1 Jahr nutze ich #grapheneOS (ja, da ist „google Technik“ drin), #Linux läuft auf meinen Desktops, Software die ich nutze ist #opensource. Ich vermisse nix. Kein #youtube #facebook #instagram und das Leben geht einfach weiter.

Hm kann es sein dass digitales #Ehrenamt wie Mitarbeit in #FOSS Projekten, #Wikipedia oder #Openstreetmap in dieser Umfrage gar nicht vorkommt und wenn ja könnte das die sinkende Zahl der Ehrenamtlichen erklären? https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/ehrenamtliche-deutschland-100.html

At Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. we strive to be as equitable, diverse and inclusive as possible, and toward this end we have added an international language selection menu to the top of our webpage!
We are currently relying on the FOSS (Free Open Source Software) project, Libretranslate, for our translations.
Please let us know your thoughts!

When I was new to jazz, I started with Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." I knew of Coltrane – I played the sax in school – but I learned the names Cannonball Adderley and Bill Evans. I found their albums, explored their side players, and immersed myself. Decades later, that journey continues.
This is why I'm fanatical about attribution in FOSS and the web. I want you to find the side players that make my work what it is, and all the cool things they build without me.

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"
I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.
The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.
If you have questions, please do ask!

Just donated $5 to the GNOME Foundation.
Open source software powers so much of what we do - often built by volunteers.
If you use and love a project, consider giving back - even a few dollars or a thank-you matters.
In my new article "The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition" I discuss the key role of the Fediverse in this political and cultural climate... and argue that digital sovereignty and the ability to self-host are now more important than ever:

Plus I had a chance to look back at my Fediverse advocacy in 2025 😊
Psst: my Ghost blog is now federated thanks to @jannis and his amazing @hey 🥳 🪄 📄

I'm in #Seoul for #FOSS For All; I had the honor of giving the opening keynote about #FOSDEM
I took this photo in the restroom of the university. It's a soap bar. You wet your hands, rub the soap, and wash your hands.
As you're standing in line to wash your hands, the act of getting soap looks exactly as you'd expect it to look like.
