As one of more than 30 research groups, #SECUSO supported this year's German HCI event at the conference Computer and Human Interaction (#CHI 2025). This event is held every year in conjunction with the CHI conference, this year was no different and the event was held, on 30th April 2025 at the YOKOHAMA COAST garage+ in Yokohama, Japan. The event allowed participants of all academic levels as well as from industry and public organisations to network in an informal setting. Thanks a lot to the volunteers who made this great event possible.

Librewolf is exactly what Firefox should be.

To the point where I find in #Librewolf new features I was explicitly missing in #firefox (like clicking on the lock to enable/disable cookies for a specific website)

And, yet, it works perfectly in #debian thanks to extrepo. But, seriously, it should be considered as the default Debian browser.

Congratulations to the team!

Don’t wait on Mozilla, switch to Librewolf !

Hello #OpenBSD users,
I installed OpenBSD 7.6 on my old laptop. I wanted to add KDE to it. I installed 'pkg_add kde-plasma kde-plasma-extras' but I could not find any information on how to start KDE by default at startup.

Mayday! #YunoHost needs your support!

YunoHost is free, but we do have expenses. According to our projections, our budget will be half covered by the end of the year.

 Your generosity is already enabling us to maintain the project, but we'd like to do better: https://yunohost.org/donate.html

Whether it's giving your time, making a donation or spreading kind words, your contributions are always greatly appreciated! Thank you!
