PSA: If you're someone who uses, creates or cares about #FOSS, free open source software, please be aware of the European Cyber Resilience Act. It could have dire consequences to the FOSS community. Here a video from @EclipseFdn about the CRA https://youtu.be/AmsM5_5QO5A and a post from #filezilla https://filezilla-project.org/cra.php

#Google #Pixel Geräte sind mit dem installierten #Android die reinste #Wanze, mit #Tracking und kompletten #User-Informationen.
Besser macht es @GrapheneOS bei Pixel Geräten. Komplett #DeGoogled, keine #DatenWeitergabe #NoTracking. Für ältere Pixelgeräte & andere #Smartphones #DivestOS als reines #FOSS, welches auch guten #Datenschutz + #Datensicherheit bietet.

#Tux is black,
#Joplin is blue,
#FreeSoftware means freedom,
And I love you.

Happy #FreeSoftwareDay #FreeOpenSourceSoftware

A very nice thing, personally, is the connection between our @opensourcedesign community and Penpot.

We've had Penpot talks at our FOSDEM design track over the years:

That's it for today. What is YOUR #FreeSoftwareAdvent post for today?

#FreeOpenSourceSoftware #UXDesigners

Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent calendar post is Penpot, @penpot

Penpot is a wireframing, prototyping for teams - for #UXDesigners, developers, product people, everyone involved in the software creation process.

It is web first - works on all operating systems, uses open web standards (SVG), and open source.

Those with interest can self-host it themselves, or use the public service design.penpot.app. Releases are big with lots added.

#FreeOpenSourceSoftware

Last one today - a small, useful utility called Rectangle for Mac OS.

https://rectangleapp.com/

Most of my time I use my home Linux laptop, and I'm a big fan of #GNOME window snapping/tiling on #POP_OS.
But for work I have to use a Mac.

Rectangle allows me to have the same (or damn similar) window snapping as in GNOME, with the same shortcuts

And today I learned you can support the developer by purchasing it.

#FreeSoftwareAdvent #FreeOpenSourceSoftware #UXDesign

If I was to make some constructive criticisms, it would be there are some confusing usability issues, and also inconsistencies across the plugins in terms of design, iconography.

However, in terms of UX contributions, the project is welcoming. I made a small but hopefully useful contribution: the process is here:

I'd 100% recommend you trying it out. I've been using it for 18months/2 years.

#FreeSoftwareAdvent #FreeOpenSourceSoftware

I'm starting the #FreeSoftwareAdvent calendar 18 days late. My bad. Next year will be better.

My updates will focus mainly on #FreeOpenSourceSoftware for #UXDesign.

The first is:

@joplinapp Joplin is an offline, local first notebook application for note taking, and information management software.

It is an alternative to Evernote, and other notebook apps. There is some overlap with Notion.

The screenshots show only part of it's abilities.

Open source software had been utterly captured by corporations, but federated decentralized spaces resist that ownership. Even if not perfect its way better than the alternative. Feels like having a Market vs a Serfdom kind of situation. One is obviously worse.

Anyway #freeOpenSourceSoftware for life, all my homies hate corporatism. 😤

The schedule is available here https://pretalx.linuxtage.at/glt21/schedule/? and the first workshop has already started.
On today's schedule are four different workshops that you can join via #BBB and directly communicate with the presenters.
Today's topics include #OSM , #tmux and music production with #FreeOpenSourceSoftware so if that's something that interests you, make sure to check out the workshops. The next ones will start at 3 PM CET and everyone is welcome to join :tux:
