Vorher fertig Denken ist immer sinnvoll. Gerade Journalisten sollten deggogled sein.

- Senioren ohne Smartphone, die vielleicht noch einen Computer haben werden ausgeschlossen
- Alle Smartphone Benutzer, ala , und andere werden ausgeschlossen, da die App vermutlich nicht Open Sourece im verfügbar ist
- Alle am User ala und andere werden ausgeschlossen, weil es da die App nicht gibt.

    Es hat den Anschein, dass im -Kontext nun die meisten Computer mit revitalisiert 🥳, durch 11-Geräte ersetzt 😒 und größtenteils verschrottet wurden 😭.

    Was jedoch Fakt ist: Wir verzeichnen aktuell einen deutlichen Rückgang an Laptopspenden, so dass mehrere Standorte keine Geräte mehr für die Instandsetzung zur Verfügung haben.

    Darum spendet uns bitte eure Laptops (computertruhe.de/spenden/sachs) und erzählt euren Freund*innen, eurer Familie und euren Kolleg*innen von uns. 🙇

      The French government says it's ditching Windows in favor of the Linux operating system, in an acceleration of its digital sovereignty initiative. Here's more from @TomsHardware.

        Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.

        While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

There's a black&white cat's snout clearly seen reflected in the phone's "black mirror".

            Hoping someone out there can help me understand what's happening with Signal and its desktop implementations. Trying it out on phone with my partner as we de-bigtech and the reviews on flathub are brutal. But also from a while back. 1. Is plaintext passwords on desktop still the issue, 2. Are there workarounds? 3. How bad is the issue at all? For our personal stuff fine to stay on phone, but there's a big picture plan to move some professional work off WhatsApp to signal.

              Perfecto! Gracias!

              PS: Sé que las facultades deben ser las instituciones que enseñen pensamiento libre y autonomía digital — y muchas veces no son. Acá es lo mismo. En un lado hay universidades que usan el en vez de Xwitter y o en vez de Zoom. En otro lado hay universidades que cambian sus servidores por servicios y por MSexchange.

                  Got most of the of the major features reverse-engineered and fully functional implemented in the UI.

                  Screenshot of a GNOME application, the upper third displays two large earbud icons, with a small battery below each one.Below this is a "Configure" section with a segmented control bar for noise management, currently set to Noise Cancelling.
Beneath is a sound section, with two disabled switches for Spatial Audio and Ultra Bass. An Equalizer section is visible at the very bottom, though its contents are partially cut off.

                    I almost have stock Debian 13 booting on this DragonBoard 410c with U-Boot, firmware is the issue. I would like to revisit PostmarketOS on it too. It's a really interesting little board - the worst thing about it is the size of the RAM. I can work within that though. I need to figure out how to add more packages to Postmarket OS though.

                      This seems to be the crucial bit: "Regarding the evolution of the workstation, DINUM announces the exit of Windows in favour of operating system desktops."

                      A strengthened commitment of the State

In line with the recent directives communicated by the Prime Minister, in particular the circulars on numerical public control and the generalization of the video conferencing tool "Visio", the seminar made it possible to set a clear objective: to reduce the non-European digital dependencies of the State.

Several concrete first steps already illustrate this ambition:

    Regarding the evolution of the workstation, DINUM announces its release of Windows for the benefit of Linux operating system desktops.
    Regarding the migration to sovereign solutions, the Caisse nationale d'Assurance maladie announced a few days ago the migration of its 80 000 agents to tools of the inter-ministerial digital base (Tchap, Visio and FranceTransfer for the transfer of documents).
    Last month, the Government announced the migration of the health data platform to a trusted solution by the end of 2026.
