@kuketzblog In meinem jetzigen Laden hab ich bis aufs OS alles auf Open Source umgestellt. Der Chef mag noch immer Windows, aber sobald endlich der accountzwang kommt wird er anders denken 😁

#Libreoffice, #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #XournalPlusPlus und diverse Open Source Webdienste (lokal gehosted).

War ein weg über 2 Jahre.

Meine Stelle davor hab ich gekündigt weil trotz Absprache über meinen Kopf hinweg auf den Google Kalender gesetzt wurde. Gelegentlich bittet man mich noch im Hilfe. Lol nö.

(In case you're wondering, no I'm not gonna comply with the California bill or any other moronic age verification bill and start requesting age bracket from the OS. Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)

In der Tat ein tolles Tutorial-Video für Xournal++ von @miXsed. Kannte das Tool schon und hab' gerade noch ein paar Dinge dazugelernt 👍

#XournalPlusPlus

soooooooooo *Pfeift aufm letzten Loch und kippt um*

Immerhin habe ich die Studis motiviert und aktiviert bekommen. Das ist doch schon mal was. Mal schauen, wie sich das noch entwickelt.
Und das Schreiben auf dem Grafiktablet mit #XournalPlusPlus scheint auch eine gute Idee gewesen zu sein. Meine Sauklaue wäre an der Tafel noch schlechter zu entziffern gewesen...

So I gave #RNote a try. It looks promising, especially on a #GNOME desktop. But it's nowhere near as feature-rich as #XournalPlusPlus. Of course, RNote is still in its early stages, so that's not surprising. I'll stick with Xournal++ for the time being, but I'll keep an eye on RNote.
