Please help.

@mutualaid @disability @trans @vegan

I've moved all of my code out of github and into codeberg.

Codeberg's webhooks are working to trigger my self-hosted CI build process.

This looks like a successful transition to a freedom respecting service, so I've donated to codeberg and plan to continue to do so if I continue to use the service.

Thank you codeberg!

@Codeberg

While you were busy or whatever, here's some highlights from my most recent GTA IV livestream.

Très content du succès de @fnl !

Le cap des 150 collectivités participantes vient d'être dépassé. (la liste se trouve ici : https://france-numerique-libre.org/carte/)

186 personnes sont inscrites et 140 e-mails ont déjà été échangés : messageries libres, suites bureautiques, virtualisation, les sujets sont déjà nombreux.

Oui, il y a une vraie dynamique autour du libre en France, et notamment dans nos collectivités territoriales !

wo ich gerade von üblen entscheidungen bei firefox lese: stimmt es, daß tenacity das einzig relevante audacity fork ist und die aktuellen versionen nutzbar - also nicht mehr alpha/beta/buggy - sind?

habe selbst bei sowas einfachen wie audacity nie die gesamte funktionspalette gebraucht, also irgendwelche usability-details halte ich für nicht so wichtig.

@untrusem was unable to attend #PravConf due to budget and logistical issues, so it's great to hear he's got a slot at @fossunited's #LucknowFOSS instead! We'll finally get to see the talk that was supposed to happen at #PravConf2025

https://fossunited.org/c/lucknow/2025/cfp/7n1sclliv7

This would be good for people who want to get more involved in #FreeSoftware but are starting from zero (as untrusem was). If you know anyone who could benefit from attending, do share it with them

Es ist schon krass: Die Unternehmen tun so, als wenn nichts wäre: Weiter alles ab in die Cloud bei US-amerikanischen Unternehmen. Microsoft-Werbeveranstaltungen kommen bestens an, die Teilnehmer sind scheinbar begeistert. Es findet gefühlt kein Umdenken statt. Es wird nicht einmal überlegt, ob freie Software eine Alternative sein könnte.
