Die Deutsche Bundesregierung zahlt in den Jahren 2021 bis 2025 für den Microsoft Handelspartnervertrag 1,27 Milliarden Euro. Zusätzlich für Schulungszwecke in den Ländern in den Jahren 2022- 2026 nochmals 23.652 Millionen Euro.
Na da fließt ein wenig Geld rüber über den Teich.
Das sind schon nette Sümmchen die wir als normaler Bürger nicht mehr ganz verstehen, oder?

Transferred my financial support for #Immich from GitHub to Liberapay. $15/month for something I use almost daily.

Also supporting #Gnome with $20/month and Fedilab Android client.

What apps and/or projects are you supporting?

Would like to support #Fedora as well, but there are no options (?) to subscribe or donate.

Music platform @mirlo is raising funds to keep running! They let listeners buy directly from musicians, with only 7% going to the platform. They're owned by a worker co-op and open-source too

I really appreciate what they're doing, especially with the instability at Bandcamp

RISC-V support in Android just got a big setback

The Android Common Kernel is about to remove support for the RISC-V architecture, which is a big setback for RISC-V support in Android.

Hi,

das nächste Update steht kurz vor der Veröffentlichung.

Auf technischer Seite wurden die Downloads verbessert. Sowohl Dateien, die einen "ref-Header" brauchen, als auch Blob-Dateien können nun endlich gedownloaded werden.

Ansonsten wurde bei diesem Release besonders an der Benutzeroberfläche gearbeitet. Ein stimmiges Farbschema und vereinfachte Dialoge sorgen für mehr Anwendungsspaß. Wer schon einmal Bildschirmfotos sehen will, kann hier schauen:

https://codeberg.org/Gaukler_Faun/FOSS_Browser/src/branch/master/SCREENSHOTS.md

Ich teste noch ein bisschen und muss mir noch einen Titel für das Update überlegen, dann lass ich es auch die Welt los.😉

Schönen Abend noch!
