Warum wird durch Steuergelder finanzierte Software nicht als Freie Software veröffentlicht? Mit "Public Money? Public Code!" wollen wir hierfür die nötigen Grundlagen schaffen. https://peertube.social/videos/watch/702cb495-7a04-472c-95af-ca249816f1d4 #FreieSoftware #PMPC #FSFE

I just installed the #Nextcloud #Deck app for #Android. It's an early version but it works already really nice and has a great UX! 😄https://f-droid.org/en/packages/it.niedermann.nextcloud.deck/

Great article, but here I have to disagree: "The open-core model followed by some of those companies creates an additional layer of community tension. [..] In the best case, this leads to the death of the community, and in the worst case this leads to a fork" - In this situation a fork is a great opportunity to fix a broken system and to restart the project. Done right this will lead to a revived and stronger community. https://opensource.org/node/1006 #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #business #OpenCore

Iceland has lost its first glacier to rising temperatures. Now, scientists are planning to install a memorial near the sad pile. https://earther.gizmodo.com/scientists-wrote-a-eulogy-for-icelands-first-glacier-lo-1836542745 #climateChange #ScientistsForFuture #FridaysForFuture

"Und so sehr, wie unser ganzes Leben verdatet wird, so sehr verlieren wir zunehmend auch die Kontrolle über unsere Daten und somit über unser digitales Leben. Entsprechend wichtig ist es, unsere informationelle Selbstbestimmung und digitale Souveränität aufrecht zu erhalten. Denn wer über unsere Daten verfügt, kann über uns verfügen." Das ist alles richtig, aber bitte nicht die Software vergessen! https://www.gruen-digital.de/2019/07/gruene-nrw-beschliessen-umfassenden-antrag-zur-gestaltung-der-digitalen-transformation-als-chance-fuer-nrw-in-einer-globalisierten-welt/ #Politik #Grüne #NRW #Digitalisierung #FreieSoftware

I created a #Matrix room with a RSS bot but I don't get a notification when a new RSS item pops up. In the room settings I have enabled notification for all messages. Is it by intention that bot's don't trigger notifications? Sounds odd.

Sweden’s newly created public sector digitalisation hub, has adopted a policy for its use of #OpenSource. “We want to be open and accessible, and make it easy for partners to benefit from the knowledge we build” - That's great. Only the argument for non-protecting licenses is a little bit misguiding. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/tax-funded-source-code #publicCode #FreeSoftware #policy

It seems like these days you no longer need a postit on your monitor with the password. Just put all your passwords in your password book. 🤦‍♂️ #security #passwords

Sehr schön, #D64 fordert umfassende Förderung von Freier Software. https://d-64.org/fuenf-gruende-fuer-open-source-software #FreieSoftware #Politik #Nachhaltigkeit #Innovation & #Sicherheit

Does someone knows a tool which automatically re-toot posts from a specific user depending on hash tags? #Mastodon #nf

Im 21. Jahrhundert müssen wir beim Thema Nachhaltigkeit immer auch unseren digitalen Lebensraum mit berücksichtigen. Deswegen war Bits&Bäume letztes Jahr so wichtig. #Nachhaltigkeit #Digitalisierung #FreieSoftware #Politik

While #Twitter is down the #fediverse continues happily. 😀

Finally I can follow the Open Source Observatory (#OSOR) from #JoinUp again via RSS, thanks a lot! https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor

#Debian #Buster was released. 🎉 This means upgrade time... 😀 https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190706 #GNU #Linux

When I go to my parents home I see hundreds of books in their shelves and I can discover many interesting topics. Without this opportunity I would never have read many interesting books. Did you already realised that the next generation will no longer have the same possibilities? These days most parents only "buy" eBook which can disappear at any time? What does this mean for our children and our cultural heritage? https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-ebook-apocalypse-drm/ #books #children #education #culturalHeritage
