We have removed #RSSGuard from our list of recommended software.
Its JavaScript article filters are the USP for RSS Guard, because they're so much more powerful than the filtering by search words or regular expressions available in other feed reader applications.
Migration from 4.8.6 to version 5 is only mostly seamless for local accounts. Still, you lose your assignments of article filters to the specific RSS feeds you want them applied to.
Users of Nextcloud News are losing their article filters, completely.
Some accounts on our forum were recently compromised due to password re-use and used to post malware.
Please review this list to see if you may have been affected, as well as our other changes in response to this.

In the last several weeks, we have identified several accounts on the official OBS Studio forums that had become compromised as part of a coordinated attack. The accounts that were targeted were owners of plugin resources that were updated with malicious versions, in an attempt to exploit users...

2) Es wird ein Abonnementmodell eingeführt.

Since the #39c3 in December, every first Sunday of the month has been a "Digital Independence Day" for trying out alternatives to dominant/big tech platforms.
If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!

LibreOffice is a desktop application, but we get many requests for a web-based version of the suite that users can deploy on their own infrastructure. Several years ago, project members started to develop LibreOffice Online, but in 2022 the Board of Directors at The Document Foundation voted to freeze the project and put it in the “attic”, for reasons that have now been superseded. Earlier this month, the current Board of Directors decided to revoke those votes to give new life to the project, as Eliane Domingos, chairperson, put it: To start the process of freeing LibreOffice Online, and to start the journey that will lead to having an online version by the community and for the community. Now the work begins. We plan to reopen the repository for LibreOffice Online at The Document Foundation for contributions, but provide warnings about the state of the repository until TDF’s team agrees that it’s safe and usable – while at the same time encourage the community to join in with code, technologies and other contributions that can be used to move forward.
