User's perspective on @libreoffice - @collabora - @tdforg drama

(1) #LibreOffice, #CollaboraOnline & #CollaboraOffice are only credible & thriving if ALL are 100% compatible

(2) It's substantially more sustainable & trustworthy if an organisation, not a company, steers the main offer i.e. #LibreOffice

(3) Internal disputes and mistrust inevitably lead to users distrusting all products

What's the solution to this?

So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function

Absolutely pathetic

Mobile Device Vulnerability Management Concept - German National EUDI Wallet: Architecture Documentation

I've said it before an I'll say it again: This entire project of identity verification with Apple/Google-account bound mobile devices is going to lead the continent down a dark, dark path into full technological submission to the US

This is not acceptable, plain and simple.

Exciting to read about an actual, real application in “This week in GNOME” that’s using Java-GI for its UI!

The first release of White Noise Media Player is up! It's currently working

I finished porting Melody from Granite and libsoup2.4 to GTK 4 + libsoup3 + Adwaita.

The first release is in .deb format. If you can test it, please let me know how it works on your machine!

LibreOffice vs ONLYOFFICE - Which One Is Right For You?

Both are solid open source office suites but which one should you choose? This in-depth article compares LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE across features, usability, and real-world experience.

It's FOSS

Its been a while since I last volunteered contributions to #libreoffice #writer, but I have been a contributor for a decade or so allowing me to know it will be in dire straits without this bunch: Caolan, mst, Miklos and sberg -- not just for their code, but also for their hearts and souls serving and growing Writer for multiple decades, bringing it from the shaky StarOffice origins to the trusty workhorse it became.

I guess @erAck can say the same about #Calc now without e.g. @kohei .

Thank you, CaolĂĄn!

Dear Caolán, Thank you for all the hard work for the project. It’s hard to find a piece of code you didn’y touch and improved! The total number of commits above 36 000 (yes, 36 * 1000) is impressive, you were one of the “core” top 10 contributors. Many of them resolved countless Coverity and OSS-Fuzzer and crash-testing findings, driving LibreOffice code quality to new heights. You was the face of Huge internal re-factorings: did the most of the work to elevate the UI code to a todays st...
