These friend be puttin in the HARD YARDS. This tool is becoming a very powerful resource to help you #degoogle
It lists out all the apps you have and checks them against their database finds a record of it and lists that right out for you as #foss or #proprietary
If you disagree with the provided information I have found them to be very responsive to updates both in the app fir the database and in their issues on Git.

Strypey#TIL that Flounder has a Lemmy community;
@[email protected]
"Community for the @flounder online user group for free software people in Australia, New Zealand, and surrounding areas."
Any software freedom folks in the South Pacific are also welcome to join our Discourse forum;

Hey @lightweight, in the new year, it could be a worthwhile experiment to set up peer-to-peer federation with Flounder, using the Discourse AP plugin.
Fossman@ai6yr
- @lightweight Would be great to focus on this topic in the next monthy meetup... maybe even organise something?
- @digitalprivacy Just checking if you're also interested in setting up an install event down in your area?
NZ-wide Linux install event maybe first weekend of October?

If you already operate a Discourse forum, or another forum that has some level of ActivityPub federation support, please contact us to discuss the possibility of federating our forums in some way.
Alice starts a new room called #room:server.foo on her hobby homeserver.
Bob joins with his account, @bob:otherserver.bla, and adds a local address, which Alice publishes.
A week later, Alice decides she can't be bothered with server.foo and shuts it down.
She rejoins the room with her new matrix account using #nzoss:otherserver.bla.
The experiences of joining and using the room is just the same as if server.foo was still alive, and she'd used #room:server.foo.
Does that make sense?

🇳🇿So set up a new #Aotearoa-based #Matrix server during the #NZOSS virtual gathering/meetup last night. The #SynapseAdmin 3rd party add-on makes a huge difference.
Periodic reminder that this #NZOSS #Mastodon instance (along with a lot of other #FOSS services - https://nzoss.nz/services) are available to the Aotearoa NZ community for active use and demonstration purposes - all onshore, here in Aotearoa, owned by NZers - *all at no cost for users*, thanks to volunteer system admin & the generous sponsored cloud service provided by https://CatalystCloud.nz: many thanks for your many years of rock solid, cutting edge, fully #FOSS, tech services and support!
Phil TannerEugh. Forgot that being unemployed loses me access to MS Office.
#NZOSS peops... Is there still two camps fighting it out between #OpenOffice & #LibreOffice? Or has one of them stretched into the lead?
TBH, I'm gonna be really looking for something that can handle more complex Word docs, or #PDFs, without playing absolute havoc with the formatting.
Also tagging #NZTwits for reach, sorry for techie spam 🙃
