The @sovtechfund is here to stay - and now it's official!

"The Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), whose purpose is to strengthen and sustain fundamental open digital technologies in the public interest, announced it will be established as an independent subsidiary of SPRIND, stabilizing and scaling the organization.

Read our Press Release about this important next step:

Stop treating open source projects and foundations like consumer-facing businesses.

Unless you've got a paid support contract that's being neglected, or there's a grave concern, it's inappropriate to escalate issues to massively public forums.

Maintainers and the staffers and volunteers at foundations are already overworked.

Don't make it harder for them to address your issue by ALSO making them waste time firefighting in public.

Es stünde den #gruenen #spd #fdp gut zu Gesicht, #ulrich_kelber für eine zweite Amtszeit zu nominieren - die wir brauchen in 🇩🇪 Fachkunde, Haltung und deutliche Worte.

In fünf Wochen endet seine Amtszeit. ⬇️

In den letzten Tagen ist bei einigen Diskussionen im Anschluss unsere Toots ein Stil zwischen den Teilnehmer:innen eingekehrt, den man sonst aus dem Heise-Forum oder Twitter/X kennt. Daher meine Bitte: Auch bei Meinungsverschiedenheiten wertschätzend in den Äußerungen bleiben. Und wenn man merkt, dass man die andere Seite nicht überzeugen kann, sollte man besser die Diskussion beenden, als abwertend zu kommentieren. Oder? Eben! 😇

Update for my #Phosh overlay hacks, in the end I decided to go with gestures using lisgd gesture daemon from #SXMO

Hi K-9 Mail community! This is a reminder that we'll be retiring this account next month, when K-9 Mail transforms into #Thunderbird for #Android.

So please go follow @thunderbird to stay in touch and get future updates. Thanks for being on this journey with us!

(YES, Thunderbird for Android will be on @fdroidorg)

If you missed the news, here's the original announcement: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/06/revealed-thunderbird-on-android-plans-k9/

And here's where to find our monthly development updates: https://blog.thunderbird.net/category/thunderbird-mobile/

@turtle contributed adaptive/mobile support to Bilioteca.

Bilioteca is an upcoming offline Documentation Viewer made by former GSoC student @akshaywarrier.

Great stuff ! 🎩

#GTK #GNOME #LinuxMobile #Linux

@hergertme Just tested VTE main (with #gtk main and Console/kgx 45) on my two slowest test laptops, a Thinkpad T400 and a PineBookPro.

What can I say - wow!

Without you patches using a maximized terminal feels a bit like going through ssh on wifi on both of them, the PBP being slightly worse - typing is just very sluggish.

With your patches things suddenly happen almost instantly - and using the terminal is actually fun!

Thank you so much for looking into it. Already waiting for #gnome46 now

Der wegweisende Beschluss des Europäischen Datenschutzausschusses vorletzte Woche ist in den meisten deutschen Medien (anders als bei netzpolitik.org) unterschätzt worden. Er wird auch nicht der letzte Beschluss dieser Art sein, weder gegenüber den großen Internetkonzernen, noch für den Prozess der Harmonisierung der Rechtsauffassung der europäischen Datenschutzbehörden 😉☘️

Element informed the Foundation that it will be forking Synapse and Dendrite: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/06/future-of-synapse-dendrite/

We'll do our best to answer your questions, address concerns, and find a path forward together.

For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823007

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

We’re excited to welcome Holly Million as Executive Director of the #GNOME Foundation! 🎉

Holly comes to us with valuable experience in nonprofit management and has served as executive director and board member for numerous organizations. https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/10/17/foundation-welcomes-new-executive-director/
