I have just created a regions table for the Wiki. This is one of the many tables coming as part of my attempts to organize the vast information on .

Take a look and let me know what you think. Until I hear some feedback from other people I won't use this table, so retoots are encouraged.

Every journey begins with that first step. The FSF Licensing and Compliance Lab can help users along that path, while also clearing the way ahead. Read our licensing roundup, and support paving a way for free software u.fsf.org/3h7

Usually, app developers choose which push provider they integrate in their apps. But that also means that users have no control through which servers their push notifications go, and the integrated push provider may not work on all devices. Unified Push (UP) solves that by separating the push provider out of apps and letting users choose their own. More information about UP and a list of available providers can be found at unifiedpush.org/

The new interface looks a bit odd to me. It looks like it has a large gap on the left and the main body is shifted to the right. As a fan of centralized layouts, I like the old one better.

However, I like the concept of a pinned table of contents (TOC). I would be interested in using the new layout with the TOC pinned on the right and the main body shifted to the left. Somehow I feel that would look better (at least for people used to western layouts).

Another interesting 2022 speaker that will be talking about is Jarek Duda. libreplanet.org/2022/speakers/

Jarek Duda worked on the ANS coding system (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetr), which attracted patent vultures. This story was also published on a few years ago. endsoftwarepatents.org/2018/01

Bund.de is the official German government portal for doing government-related paperwork online.

They have now created their own Mastodon instance at social.bund.de which contains some official accounts. You can find them on the instance's directory page:

➡️ social.bund.de/explore (in German)

This is a really promising sign! The Fediverse can allow citizens to interact with public officials without having to give away personal data.

TIL about lichess.org/ , one of the world's most popular chess servers, run entirely on free software by a nonprofit, ad-free, supported by donations with a budget of ~$420K/year according to lichess.org/costs

They've been around since 2010.

As awesome as this is to see, imagine how many free/open nonprofit alternatives to Big Tech platforms would exist if, down to the municipal level, we decided to support them with funding & infrastructure.
