We tried to become an official so-called "Warnmultiplikator" in #Germany to get official API access to emergency alerts, but we have failed with it for now. We wanted to share what we learned about the German infrastructure, the responsibilities, and the requirements for "Warnmultiplikatoren," so we wrote our first blog post.

If any of my techy friends on here could lend a hand or just share this, it would mean a lot to me.

It makes the fediverse a more accessible place.

How browsers REALLY load Web pages
When browsers load a Web page and its subresources, A LOT happens under the hood. They need to take into account render/parsing blocking resources, use a preload scanner, listen to resource hints (like preload/preconnect), loading modifiers (async/defer/module), fetchpriority, responsive images, and much more.

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.

I understand the feeling. In the past I was always like: Oh no, so I have to install an app for this? Cuz I knew it means I have to inform myself and deep dive into the app settings and my DNS filters to hedge my privacy as good as possible.
With FOSS and Fediverse it’s like: Wow, this works so well, let’s check all its potential and tell everybody about it 🤩. And it works FOR me, not AGAINST me 🥰.
