Linux Foundation's trust scorecards aim to battle rising open-source security threats zdnet.com/article/linux-founda… by @sjvn

How do you tell the difference between trustworthy #opensource developers and hackers? The Linux Foundation has some ideas.


@gnome 48 is officially released! You can try it out on the recently released Fedora Workstation 42 Beta!

@atjscreams and Evel are running an #anythingJam on #itchio!!

itch.io/jam/glitch-gfx-jam

Its focused on the #OpenSource graphics from the defunct game, Glitch.

It runs April 4-May 4, so join and start planning now!

We're super looking forward to seeing all the different things folks make mostly using the same set of graphics!

"The end result may be available at no cost, but it requires time, money and, above all, energy to get there.... And to keep the free software available, those people will need to stay motivated."

Ämter ohne Microsoft – Warum Behörden freie Software nutzen sollten.

Eine EU-Studie beziffert das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von Open
Source Software auf 1:4.

Jeder Euro, den der Staat investiert, kommt vierfach wieder zurück. Würden mehr Institutionen Geld in Open Source stecken, statt an Microsoft zu überweisen, könnte das ein großes Konjunkturprogramm für die
europäische Digitalwirtschaft sein.

#SchleswigHolstein goes #OpenSource

Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen. Und von unseren Kolleg:innen hat auch noch keine:r gemurrt.

Und ihr? Habt ihr schon gewechselt?

* The new Account Hub, which you can test this week in Daily!
* Global Message Database and In-App Notification news

Sometimes the smallest changes make a big difference. In future #LibreOffice versions, you can choose a currency from the drop-down with a direct click – no need to also click "OK". Learn more what our QA and Dev communities are doing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #OpenSource


I am really disappointed that #opensource organisations like @pycon and @NumFOCUS have remained silent on this.

They position themselves as being diverse, inclusive, and supporting good things for everyone all over the globe - and they do generally live up to that aim.

But on this their silence is loud.

And that silence is not neutrality.

And imho, it is privilege that allows them to remain silent, to look the other way.

Someone has created a beautiful UI for Lemmy. In my opinion something like this should be the default.

The #linuxdaw library continues to grow, reflecting the development of #linuxaudio as a platform. Not only is the range of native #linux #plugin (s) growing, but also the maturity of #pipewire and #linuxdesktop itself. Truly amazing times for #musicproduction with this popular #opensource #operatingsystem. ✨🌟

China plans to issue a policy to encourage the use of RISC-V chips nationwide for the first time. The policy is being drafted by eight government bodies, including the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. China has been embracing RISC-V in recent years due to its lower costs and geopolitical neutrality.
