At the #Berlin #ilovefs I just learn in @Tobias 's presentation that @newpipe now also supports Bandcamp and SoundCloud next to #Youtube #Peertube https://media.CCC.de . Missed those new features before 🥰

❤️ Big thanks to the #Newpipe contributors!! ❤️

Start of the Berlin #ilovefs event, with an intro by @fsfe 's @Tobias . Currently with 26 other people at the public library 🥰

❤️ At the Berlin #ilovefs event I could give a small cake to @kde 's @AleixPol as a small sign of appreciation, thanking him and #KDE for their great work for #softwarefreedom. ❤️

❤️ Today a special thanks to all the #KDE #maintainers!! ❤️

❤️ Thank you to the #Archlinux Wiki maintainers! ❤️

#Maintainers in general, and maintainers of documentation most of the time get way too little recognition for their contributions to #SoftwareFreedom.

ArchWiki is one of the pearls of the internet! That's why I dedicated my this year's #ilovefs post to the #ArchWiki maintainers!

❤️ Thank you @bagder for maintaining #curl since 1998. What would we do without it, how long would it take us, and what code quality would those solutions have without you? Thank you so much! ❤️

...and how on earth would people be able to check the weather forecast without curl? 😉

(Please join me in thanking Daniel, and let others here on the #Fediverse know about your favourite ways of using #curl )

Gene Sharp's "From #Dictatorship to #Democracy" is in my most important books list and I already gifted it many times.

Better get this book now while it is available in your country and read it. Or at least own it to be able to read it when it is not available anymore.

❤️ Big thank you to @fosdem From "staff" to video team, volunteers taking care about the wardrobe, the food to volunteers cleaning toilets and many more! ♥️

❤️ Thanks to DevRoom organisers, fellow speakers, the booth teams, and all the visitors who contributed with great questions, discussions, and by creating the special #FOSDEM atmosphere of knowing you are not alone working for #softwarefreedom. ❤️ 👏

One of the parts of #FOSDEM I also always love is meeting other participants you never met before on the train and hear about their experiences at #fosdem. After 1h we started talking about the #Fediverse and #Mastodon and decided to take a picture of this /dev/random table.
Many disturbing things happen around the world. But I promise you that if you will feel better after attending @nicorikken 's and my #FOSDEM talk at 14:00 in K.1.105 (La Fontaine). If not you'll get every cent of your entrance fee back ;) https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/R9Q9ZP-ada-zangemann-bestseller-automation/
