@thomasfricke @signalapp @OpenTechFund @TheAtlantic The good news is that the #Trump administration had such a weak case, they just rescinded the grant termination once it came to court. The court also kept the case open, despite the Trump admin arguing it was moot, until they actually paid #OTF the money they were owed. Now OTF has been paid:

I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.
I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.
#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!
(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)

I remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, may...

#DMA: European Commission falls short on interoperability requirements for Apple
Despite initial promising steps, the @EUCommission 's measures on Apple’s compliance with interoperability procedures under the Digital Markets Act fall short.
The less stringent obligations on API documentation and long deadlines for interoperability solutions will impact how #FreeSoftware projects get interoperability from Apple.

Seien Sie sich nur bewusst, dass es nicht mehr aktualisiert wird und mehrere Jahre alte, nicht behobene Sicherheitsprobleme aufweist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security - Um sicher zu gehen, wechseln Sie zu einem der aktiv gepflegten Nachfolgeprojekte (wie LibreOffice).
