Can't say. Maybe #Emacs, because it is so versatile. It's not only my text editor, but also git frontend, window manager, email client, terminal program and more.
Apart from that: Anything that advances users #digitalSovereignty. E.g. the #freeSoftware that runs the #fediverse, but also free and federated #instantMessaging, i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP. For all of us, who despise walled gardens on #GAFAM asphalt.

What happens when those who benefit from the four freedoms fail to comply with the terms of a #FreeSoftware license?We take a look at the experience of license enforcement by one of our FSFE volunteers against the fintech company SumUp, and examine the lessons that supporters of Free Software can take away from it

It's #SoftwareFreedom Podcast day today! Our latest episode is out! 📻
In episode 37, @annabonnie and @lexelas discuss the #CRA and the next steps in implementing this EU law
Sure 🙂
Just for the record:
Most users might want to
apt install mariadb-server nginx-full php-fpm php-mysql
and have things like this in the nginx config:
root /usr/share/matomo/public;
and
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock;
Everything else shouldn't be #Debian specifc.
Why didn't anyone tell me, that #Matomo by @Matomo is in #Debian 13 #trixie? That's wonderful news. Thanks to the maintainers!
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/matomo
Missing documentation how to run the thing, however. A /usr/share/doc/matomo/README.Debian would be nice!
Heute ist die Bundesregierung 100 Tage im Amt – Zeit für eine Bilanz!
🔹Ziele und Strategie für mehr Freie Software und technologische Souveränität bleiben unklar
🔸 Vergabereform muss verbessert werden, um Freie Software zum Standard zu machen
🔹Keine gesicherte Finanzierung im Bundeshaushalt
🔸 Deutschland-Stack ohne Transparenz und EU-Kooperation
Wir brauchen echten Fortschritt in Richtung #PublicCode!
Unsere Analyse: https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250814-01.de.html
#FreeSoftware
Today, Germany’s government marks 100 days in office. Time to take stock!
🔸 Free Software goals and strategy for true technological sovereignty remain unclear
🔹 Ongoing procurement reform needs improvement to make Free Software the default
🔸 No secure funding in the federal budget
🔹Germany Stack lacks transparency and EU collaboration
We need real progress to make #PublicCode a reality!

Die Bilanz von Schwarz-Rot nach 100 Tagen ist enttäuschend: Das Vergabegesetz verpasst es, Tech-Souveränität durch Freie Software zu sichern. Beim „Deutschland-Stack“ fehlen EU-Abstimmung und Transparenz. Keine verlässliche, langfristige Finanzierung für Freie Software.
„Public Money? Public Code!“ muss endlich zur Regel werden: Öffentlich finanzierte Software muss Freie Software sein! Die Zeit zu handeln ist jetzt!

#FreeSoftware #PublicCode
After 100 days in office, the German federal government falls short on #FreeSoftware: Draft procurement act fails to secure tech sovereignty by prioritising Free Software. The “Germany Stack” lacks EU coordination and transparency. No reliable long-term funding for Free Software in the budget.
Make “Public Money? Public Code!” the rule: Software paid with public money must be Free Software! The time to act is now!
