So so.

München will also "Public Money - Public Code"
Soweit nichts neues; Hatten sie schon mal.

Aber das IT-Ressort geht an die FDP?

Das wird nix!

@lrp Qué lástima y qué rabia… Ánimos.

Hace como diez años que existe la campaña de “Dinero público, código público” y no veo que hayamos avanzado mucho. Por si les quieres mandar el enlace a la iniciativa, está en chorrocientos idiomas, español incluido.

Question for the macOS folks here: which utility category do you trust the least? For me it's clipboard managers — they see everything, and most are closed binaries.

#NHS England should not hide #publiccode behind closed doors! Instead they should enlarge efforts that public money results in #PublicCode ! https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260504-01.en.html (thanks to @Edent for raising the issue).

The "everything as a service" model has created a generation of software that rents you access to your own data.
Your clipboard history. Your notes. Your files. All sitting on someone else's server, behind a paywall that can be raised or pulled at any time.
SaneApps is a bet that people still want to own software. Not rent it.
Five apps. All on-device. All public code. All one-time.

🐧 Deutschland macht Ernst: Bund und Länder setzen auf Linux & LibreOffice statt US-Software. Offene Formate werden Pflicht für alle Behörden. Wer mit dem Staat arbeitet, muss mitziehen – auch private Auftragnehmer. Digitale Unabhängigkeit statt Abhängigkeit von Big Tech! 🇩🇪
