Hello 👋
we've started with the first round of beta testing 🎉
The activity consists of a video call of about 40mins in which you will be asked to perform 8 short tasks on a bonfire instance. Your feedbacks will greatly help us to catch bugs and improve the overall user experiences, as well as adding suggestions / ideas to our roadmap.
If you'd like to help us, please DM us and we'll figure out a day and time to go through it together 🤠
Someone should write a @bookwyrm plugin for #Calibre. I'd love to create a project for it myself, but I have far too many #FLOSS projects on my plate, as it is.
It looks like plugins are in #Python, so the barrier-to-entry shouldn't be too high. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/creating_plugins.html

Imagine a world.. 🌈
Where it wasn't about #Github this and Github that, Github before and after. Like Github was some kind of foundational technology instead of a #BigTech operated de-facto walled garden that sucks in development efforts like a black hole. Event horizon blinding us to so much else. Gravitational lensing warping the star map like crazy..
In our federated universe we are building wormholes now, to escape 🛸

"LfDI expects schools to offer pupils alternatives to the MS365 #cloud service for #school operations by the summer vacations in 2022.
From the coming school year, the use of MS 365 at schools must be terminated or its data protection-compliant operation must be clearly demonstrated by the responsible schools."
This is how the SA of Baden-Württemberg starts its press release stating that M365 is not #GDPR compliant and it must be discontinued.
