Millions of students are getting locked into closed, proprietary software from Big Tech vendors. Here's how #LibreOffice can give them back their digital sovereignty: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/06/libreoffice-for-education-regaining-digital-sovereignty/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

After some trial and error, I realized that to use foamPostProcess on a case directory—even if it’s the default one—you have to include the -solver option. It’s probably documented somewhere, but I couldn’t find it.

In Croatia, the population seems to have developed an addiction-like dependence on Microsoft, driven through the education system by mandatory basic education that uses their Office products for free. All students also receive Microsoft products at no cost. A great long-term sales investment for Microsoft.
Other companies don’t fight this, government and other politicians don’t care.
Is this also the case elsewhere in the EU or in the rest of the world?

Uh, volio bih znati ko su ljudi koji su smislili i odobrili Fiskalizaciju 2.0, kao da nisu nikada bili u realnom sektoru. Citat Einsteina: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction." Kako za sada ispada hrabri genijalci nisu.#fiskalizacija2

Let me repeat that. The Austrian federal ministry of economics migrated to Nextcloud Hub. All 1200 employees. The complete Hub with Files, Talk, Groupware, Office and Flow. No test but fully in production since 6 months. People like it. No complains. Other ministries are impressed and want to do the same. People who say that Open Source doesn’t work are wrong.

"Typical Chat-GPT query uses about 10 times more energy than Google search That’s just for a basic generative AI function. More advanced queries require substantially more power that have to go through an AI Cluster Farm to process large-scale computing between multiple machines."

"AI is typically deployed in 20-30 cabinet clusters at or above 40 KW per cabinet. This represents a fourfold increase in KW/ cabinet with the deployment of AI. The difference is staggering."

I sat down with two cooling experts to find out what AI's biggest problem is in the data center

What they told me could force a total rethink of data center design

It's weird how generative AI is so amazing with all the topics I don't know about, but always wrong with the topics I'm knowledgeable about.
Funny coincidence, don't you think?
