Selbst nach den kritischsten Schätzungen (nämlich von #Microsoft) hat #LiMux die Landeshauptstadt #München in 10 Jahren 61 Millionen Euro gekostet - also 6,1 Millionen pro Jahr (München selbst spricht von 23 Millionen und einer Ersparnis von 25% gegenüber Microsoft). Laut ZDnet kostet die Rückmigration zu Windows 86,1 Millionen Euro in 6 Jahren - also 14,35 Millionen Euro pro Jahr.

Space Hey? MySpace?

Since end 2020 @Facebook@twitter.com banned linking in FB posts to https://delta.chat stating "violation of community standards". Multiple people filed complaints but nothing happened, no responses, no explanations, nothing. Please help (RT/like or comment how to proceed). Thanks!

Hey y'all, what are some FOSS or FOSS-adjacent projects in need of some monetary love?

I'm interested in the kinds which tend to push the boundaries, not existing giants like Wikimedia or the FSF.

Boosts welcome

Richtig gut.

Phantastisch!
Da kennt jemand seinen Escher, und setzt ihn pointiert ein! 👍👏👏

Versuch doch einmal, Politiker im Singular gendergerecht auszusprechen. Bitte mit Artikel. ;)

Was da an gesammelter Lebenszeit draufgeht, sich über so etwas Gedanken zu machen... Es setzen sich also wirklich Leute damit auseinander, wie man Sprache ummodeln kann und geht dann davon aus, dass andere dies anwenden, ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken?

"Sprache entwickelt sich" und "Sprache wird entwickelt" sind doch zwei komplett verschiedene Dinge!

Ernstgemeinte Frage und ausdrücklich KEIN Trollversuch:

Was genau versprecht ihr euch vom Einsatz des Anhängsels *innen? Abgesehen davon, dass es im Deutschen eh nur im Plural funktioniert, wem genau soll wie damit geholfen werden? Welche Logik soll dahinter stecken?

Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht und möchte die Beweggründe und Philosophie dahinter kennen. Ich bervorzuge als Antwort übrigens persönliche Statements und keine Links zu irgendwelchen Seiten, weil ich es von EUCH hören will.

Das ZDF Magazin Royale
hat Daten und Dokumente veröffentlicht über die "EU-Grenzschutzagentur" Frontex, die vor allem bekannt ist für illegale Pushbacks gegen Flüchtende.
Neben diversen Waffen- und Sicherheitsfirmen war auch die Technische Universität Braunschweig
bei Lobby-Treffen von Frontex dabei und arbeitete Frontex in dem von 2017-2019 laufenden "ALFA Project" zur Grenzüberwachung zu.

Ok, normalerweise bin ich kein Fan davon, mit Humor auf Verschwörungsideologien zu reagieren. Aber hier musste selbst ich lachen:

"Masks and vaults: how anonymity overshadows real online privacy"

My latest opinion article projects my concerns about the fundamentally different concepts of privacy and anonymity being used interchangeably in many contexts. Slightly longer and more intense read than usual, but in the hope you will find it helpful.

I've always been annoyed, that there is no sane way to use programs on my android phone on my desktop and use the keyboard I'm working at.

Sometimes I want to send off an #sms and just want that dialog of the phone be available on my notebook.

On the #mobian #pinephone just compiled #waypipe as well as on my notebook.

On my notebook using waypipe called #chatty via ssh on my #pinephone. Chatty showed up on my notebook :).

Sending and receiving works.

In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.

If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and it’s very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.

If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

I have spent almost my whole life (and work) with modern technology. Here are my big lessons:

- Use paper ballots for voting
- Pay with cash as often as possible
- Send hand written letters in envelopes
- Keep your landline phone.

Welcome to my TED talk :)

While many people rightly are concerned with the power of companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, the uproar around Section 230 is misplaced. It’s not 230 that is the problem. It’s oligopoly. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/its-not-230-you-hate-its-oligopolies

#postmarketOS now has support for the #librem5 "evergreen" phone

I like that sea shanty video about IT security and passwords by Rachel Tobac on Twitter.

Maybe @aral and @laura can do a sea shanty about small tech? ;-)

That's irony at its best: Google is one of the gold sponsors of #FOSDEM, and less than a week before the conference begins, it removes #Element from the Play Store. Element is the most-used application for access to the #Matrix infrastructure that FOSDEM depends on.

RT @element_hq@twitter.com

Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.
