Open Document Format (ODF) is LibreOffice's native file format for storing documents. But how is it developed – and how can we all help to improve it? Regina Henschel explains all: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/07/11/what-is-the-open-document-format-odf-and-how-is-it-developed/

The data that our phones exchange with cell towers during basic connection procedures is being taken advantage of by third parties to invade our privacy. Here’s our brand-new report on how we think these attacks work.

DO use authenticator apps as second step to protect all of your vital accounts. DON'T rely on SMS. DON'T ignore unexpected loss of network coverage.

@nikolal I did hours of bad searching and you gave me a clear path forward in almost no time. I am very grateful — thank you!
@nikolal Thank you so so much! So I should only get a raspberry pi and set it up on my external hard drive basically?
@nikolal So would I have to buy https://shop.syncloud.org/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=42 or would just buying a raspberry pi work? Thank you for walking me through this!
@didnt1able forgive my ignorance, what's a snap package?
@greyor pixel fed sounds great! Is it like the open-source instagram?
Gotta ask as well, is switching to a #nextcloud cloud a good step? What tech so I need to do that?
As someone who started getting into #tech, #privacy, and #opensource things, I just want to say thank you — I am grateful for how much I have learned through this instance :)

I ran a free webinar for 20+ New Democrats across Ontario yesterday on community organizing. The Ganz model is basically open source community building in how you can change and copy and tweak the curriculum to so many contexts. It's great. #ndp #organize #organizing #Ganz
@moz That is super fair! I am really grateful for your help and answers. What are your concerns with them?
@moz Gotcha! Thank you! What are your thoughts are PureOS? It looks like a happy medium?
@moz Thank-you! for context, I am a total n00b who has been told qubes is too complicated for a first linux system... I guess that rules out Subgraph?
@moz if i am not ready to jump right into qubes, what is a good privacy/security focused Linux intro distro?
Today was the 2nd Anniversary of my Nonna's death (Italian Grandma). She worked alongside a huge diversity of people. She relished difference. She was excited by new cultures. Today we would call her anti racist. She called it being friendly. A neighbour, a coworker, a contact you saw often and never invited home for dinner was a missed opportunity. She modelled how genuine friendships made over food should never be under-estimated; they are inclusive change. #nonna #racialjustice #italy #food
@jonah Thank you! That makes sense!
