"To support the FSF's goal of securing freedom for all computer users, and the GNU operating system," is Daniel Owens' reason for joining the #FSF. #FreeSoftware #UserFreedom.

I have a serious question. Will LibreOffice offers ever be a product with batteries included regarding grammar and spell check on a high level? I know that we have a very good spell checking, but I was wondering if there's ever something planned to have a really working grammar and style checking tool like languagetool out of the box.

New big update! #LibreOffice 25.2 is here, with:

➡️ Better change tracking
➡️ More versatile comments
➡️ Extra theme support

...plus compatibility improvements, extra privacy options, and more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/06/libreoffice-25-2/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

30,000 PCs are moving from Microsoft Office to #LibreOffice in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. At the recent Univention Summit 2025, we met the people handling the migration: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/02/05/libreoffice-at-the-univention-summit-2025/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

The first time I went to FOSDEM, I was constantly explaining what F-Droid was to people who never heard of it. I was introducing it and promoting it.

Second FOSDEM, people said "oh yeah, I heard of it, what does it do?"

Third FOSDEM, people said "I'm a user!"

Fourth FOSDEM, I listened to people tell other people what F-Droid is, and heard groups of people talking about it as the app store that everyone in the group had on their phone.

It has been quite a ride!

Are there any #freesoftware / #opensource projects that have some easy wins if they just had a little extra time? I have a lot of leeway with how I spend my work time (well, it varies wildly week to week, but most afternoons I do have a little time).

I'll have to think strategically about my skillset and the needs of my customers, but I'm not going to limit the type of project folks can reply about in any way, because someone else might want to help out in that way.

Boosts welcome!

In the realm of computing, we must remember that true freedom lies in our right to control the software we use. Free software ensures that we are om control. Let's continue the fight for software that respects our freedom: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/user-liberation-watch-and-share-our-new-video #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

One year later… Inception! 👀

The #Fairphone5’s front camera is working well (with an impressively smooth refresh rate) on #postmarketOS. 🚀

Shot from another #Fairphone 5 running #CalyxOS, that I actually bought a couple of hours after the original post ⤴️

Thank you so much for what you do, @postmarketOS! ❤️
