“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

"In order to make any meaningful progress, we must at least agree that the Googles and the Facebooks of the world are not forces for good. On the contrary, they are threats to our human rights and democracy. We must at least agree that they are not our partners, sponsors, and friends, but our adversaries. Even today, we are not at this point. Even today, institutions that purport to advocate for human rights and democracy feature Google and Facebook as partners and sponsors."

A really good example of that was the Personal Democracy Forum earlier in the year, sponsored by those companies and promanently fearuring Google and Facebook speakers. It's hard to discuss what democracy means, or should become, in the internet era if Facebook is dominating the narrative.

Anyway I'm thinking joinmastodon.org needs to maybe have a little section explaining what free software means, because it's not simply "gratis"

Some people have chosen to use "libre software" to avoid the amiguity but, not sure why, but I don't like how that sounds.

@cagatayy Also, it's not obvious, but I checked the dark theme in settings.

@cagatayy Mmmh, first try with adding media showed an error. Seems like it was uploaded anyway.

Antwort auf meine Frage, ob der ECDL ("Europäische Computerführerschein") auch mit LibreOffice zu absolvieren sei:

"da OpenOffice und LibreOffice bei unseren Prüfungszentren sehr selten gefragt ist haben wir hierfür eine sehr beschränkte Anzahl an Prüfungsversionen. Seitdem die meisten Schulen durch Office 365 automatisch immer die neuste kostenlose Microsoftversion erhalten sind viele Schulen umgestiegen. Ehrlichgesagt empfiehlt es sich leider nicht den ECDL für LibrOffice einzuführen."
