Not being allowed to install what I want on a phone is like being told I cant make a sandwich with the bread I bought.
Jenna with her old laptop, now updated to GNU/Linux! She'd stopped using it some time ago because #Windows had become so slow that it was unusable. A project of our local #Library where I #Volunteer. We spent some time installing then a brief introduction to the basics of using #GNU#Linux and a few of the apps.
She was excited to have a working computer again and, bonus, touch screen worked perfectly which made her extra happy.
Kuinka pääsen irti valvontakapitalismista?

It's clear now that there simply isn't any excuse for developers to use #FCM for notifications. I sincerely hope UnifiedPush will gain traction, not only amongst #FOSS developers, but the Android developer community at large.
It's perhaps worth noting that users of #Conversations (and its forks) already have a distributor included in their client, thus further lowering the bar of entry.

So I've got #LineageOS flashed on my internet phone. I'm trying to degoogle myself and figured this would be a good testbed. I'll post updates on this thread.
I can already tell the OS is much snappier without all the google play services running in the background.

Still on Confluence? Many teams are (already) moving away from vendor lock-in and looking at open-source alternatives.
We put together a clear comparison of XWiki vs Confluence so you can see the differences yourself:

XWiki is European, open source, and built for flexibility, sovereignty, and long-term control of your data.

Even with the Ribbon UI, LibreOffice's interface still feels a bit behind the times, more like something from 2007.
I think a complete UI redesign is needed to make it truly modern, fresh, and welcoming to new users.
I truly appreciate the power and functionality of LibreOffice, but I feel the UI could use a major refresh.
It's starting to look a bit dated, and a more modern, intuitive design would make it even more user-friendly for everyone.
Just some constructive feedback!
What do you think guys ?
