Pourquoi devriez-vous utiliser Linux ?

"Un système d'exploitation contrôle la saisie, la traite, puis affiche le résultat à l'écran. Lorsque vous tapez « A » au clavier, le système d'exploitation intervient, reconnaît la touche et s'assure que la lettre « A » s'affiche à l'écran sous la forme d'une composition de nombreux pixels. À cet égard, Linux ne diffère pas de macOS, Windows, iOS ou même Android."

A bloated organization with a lot of money (not so much after the verdict in the Google antitrust case) making bad decisions on what to integrate into Firefox.

I wish the Firefox project would go the way of the Thunderbird project.

Ask the community for donations, give them a say in most wanted features to implement on the roadmap and get rid of the company CEO structure or at least of the board of directors.

*Linux is like Ice Cream* ❤️

optoutproject.net/linux-is-lik

Like ice cream, the #Linux operating system 🐧 comes in different flavors.

Imagine you'd never tried ice cream before, wondering -- Do I go for Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate?

Yes, the afficionados have their own crazy flavor combinations 🍨 and are proud of them. But you don't have to do that. You can just start with #Vanilla or #Chocolate and that is fine. 🍦

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

in there, we have a new library embedded in browser extensions scarping everything you view and selling it to AI companies, we have the #Gnome Foundation looking at ways to pay developers, Wayback joining Freedesktop.org, and more:

I think it's really good if open source projects set up their own Gitlab server, to have full control over their project.
But it's super annoying to register for each,if you want to report a bug. Especially if there is no registration with Github or Gitlab sign-on.

It was great to connect with the open source geo community at the [FOSS4G.NL 2025](foss4g.nl/). The event highlighted innovative open-source projects and collaborations.

I presented on [GRASS](grass.osgeo.org/) in education and research, outlining its current state and sharing examples of how I use it in my classes and research at the HAS green academy. [View slides](ecodiv.earth/share/foss4gnl202)

@EUCommission

'Nearly 214 ha burnt' -> please correct the error. The burnt area is one thousand times that number...

The EU isn't ready.
Of course, cooperation is a good thing. But please compare these numbers with the new, inflated military budgets. What are we even talking about? A single squad of F-35 shovels more into the US military industry than the entire shared EU firefighter infrastructure.

And meanwhile, the environmental policies continue being diluted, the fight against climate change is scaled back, and the largest parts of the funds are just channeled into shiny industry projects with no benefit at best and horrible consequences at most (CCS, nuclear, gas, fossil fuel subsidies, car-centered infrastructure...).
The solutions are known: #degrowth, #agroecology, #SustainableMobility, #OpenSource...

It is so sad that we are wasting this precious window of opportunity where we have still administrative capacity and some control over where we are heading.
