💥Code paid by the people should be available to the people! 💥Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as #FreeSoftware under a #FOSS licence? If it is public money, it should be public code as well!🖥️ https://publiccode.euhttps://media.fsfe.org/w/7cH6EATpmPwaMsEZN8vfyj

What do you think of using Google in your life?I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, but I use GrapheneOS instead of OEM, and I think it is the best Android line of phones I have used so far. Their bootloader is lockable after installing custom operating systems which is much better than all other offers at the moment. The build quality, battery and design of the phone is solid as well. This phone has a lot of merits going for it which other Android phones are not replicating for the sake of a false sense of "security" or profits. I will appreciate Google for giving me a great phone to install GrapheneOS on, alongside Android for being a secure base for an operating system.I appreciate the Chromium browser more than other browsers in the market. While Google Chrome is junk regarding user privacy, as well as shoving AI in your face, Chromium itself is actually pretty solid. It is also the most secure option, offering a malloc() implementation better than Firefox's mozmalloc, although not as secure as hardened_malloc, by GrapheneOS. Firefox is also implementing AI features into their browser, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MV2 is deprecated, sure, but you win more than you lose in security, as a lot of API features were exploitable. Chromium does a lot of good things, while Chrome gives the base itself a lot of bad blood. I would like to see what Servo can do, but I appreciate Google for making a secure browser.I generally despise a lot of what Google offers, however. I feel like they lean heavily on the deception of convenience, where Google gives really good results while it uses your data for the sake of advertising. This applies with the Google Suite (Mail, Office, and Drive among others) as well. I would much rather use FOSS or nonprofit alternatives, such as Tutanota, or LibreOffice. Google is essentially the serpent from The Book of Genesis, selling you the benefit of their convenience for the sake of having your data stolen for their use. As such, I will choose not to follow Google convenience promise for my security.Feel free to leave your opinions, and why I should consider other avenues rather than accepting a bit of Google in my life. As much as I love privacy, your privacy can't be guaranteed if there is no good security. Google may be known for piss-poor privacy, but their open source projects have a lot of security merits as well as good privacy. Do not use this as advice, but make your own conclusion.#google #privacy #security #grapheneos #chromium #technology #FOSS

Es wird viel über „digitale Souveränität” gesprochen – aber was bedeutet das genau? Nun, zunächst einmal geht es darum, eine Bindung an bestimmte Anbieter und wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten zu vermeiden. Erfahren Sie hier, wie das Open Document Format (ODF) dabei helfen kann:https://de.blog.documentfoundation.org/2025/11/16/die-rolle-von-odf-in-der-digitalen-souveraenitaet-digitale-freiheit/#foss #opensource #freesoftware #fedilz #office #schule #Verwaltung

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.https://blog.muni.town/open-source-power/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.#OpenSource #foss #licensing

@rysiek I sent an email to the Czech MEP's about this a few weeks ago, got one response so far. Trying to mobilize others as well.Edit: Also made a Czech translated version of their page with relevant contacts I share around when possible.

# "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!https://neilzone.co.uk/2025/11/using-libreoffice-and-other-free-software-for-documents-as-a-lawyer/#LibreOffice #Linux #FOSS #lawfedi #vim #git #Markdown

Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things.

Still looking how to balance your VMs in #Proxmox clusters? #ProxLB 1.1.9 is here!This release adds features that were requested during the #DutchProxmoxDay2025 which was hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl). I'm hearing your feedback and all your feedback from the community and user base is important to me, so let me introduce the following new features:* Add an optional memory balancing threshold* Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools* Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guestsYou can simply upgrade via APT or by obtaining the latest Docker/Container image. PSI based balancing (still in beta) requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater.Thanks to my employer@credativ@mastodon.social (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to work at this.GitHub: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLBGitHub Release: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.1.9Author: @gyptazy@gyptazy.com#PVE #Proxmox #Community #OpenSource #FOSS #gyptazy #DutchProxmoxDay #coding #projects #virtualization #vms #hypervisor #homelab #vmware #alternatives #pve #balancing
