Great news! I really feared, that we have to deal with a proprietary app only for Windows, Android, or iOS.
Could you please link to the actual #sourceCode, so that I can start to package the app for #Debian? (Or at least file an #RFP request for package?)
🤦…have you followed this mess with #Onlyoffice's inappropriate behavior toward #Nextcloud?
I've been researching it for 3 weeks.
TL;DR: #Ascensio (Onlyoffice's licensor) is YA company to purposely misuse AGPLv3§7!
Thank goodness for AGPLv3§7¶4, but as always, one must be courageous to remove a “further restriction” & redistribute.
& thanks to Nextcloud for forking to #EuroOffice. Now, we should all come to their aid.

Local meetups are great for #FreeSoftware of all ages and experiences: https://u.fsf.org/4ag #FSF #LibreLocal
Among my friends, I see four stances about using #LLMs, with many nuances. Can you identifiy more or less with one of the options?

All #FOSS developers need therapy.
No, I'm serious.
We *must* end petty one-up-manship & virtuoso knowledge-signalling.
A few years ago, one of the most prominent #OpenSource developers of our age gleefully told me how he dressed down a young, inexperienced junior developer at a code review at his company. WTF!?!
Deal with your insecurity about yourself & don't roll your 💩 downhill to the next generation.
For me, only in my 0x32's am I able to brush that off.
Be kind to Padawans.
#FreeSoftware
If it’s funded with public money, it should be public code.
That means guaranteeing the 4 freedoms:
🔓 Use the code
🔍 Study how it works
✏️ Modify it
🔁 Share it
Do you agree?
✍️ Sign the open letter
📢 Share it with your network
🏛️ Call on decision-makers to invest in public code

👀🛜 … an LWN article …

… about Denver Gingerich's #SCaLE2026 talk about the massive success of the #OpenWrt One — the 1ˢᵗ official hardware wireless router from #SFC & its OpenWrt project. The One is a shining example that proves: “if you plan for #copyleft compliance from the start, sourcing & releasing a product with correct Complete, Corresopnding Source (#CCS) from Day 0 is trivial.”

I started migrating from #NextCloud to #Radicale, but iOS threw a spanner in the works (turns out accountsd only checks for A and not AAAA DNS records!) I decided to go into a "half-migrated" state: pointing myself to the new instance to continue testing while leaving my partner pointing to the old one.
That caused a problem: any events we created in the meantime wouldn't be synced to the other's devices.
vdirsyncer came in super handy and enabled a three-way sync between NextCloud, Radicale and my laptop! So, despite being on two completely different #CalDAV servers, we both see exactly the same state and all updates flow through seamlessly. And, when they switch instance, it will be like nothing ever happened, despite being on different servers for a few weeks.
Thank you #openStandards and #freeSoftware!
