Gestern beim Netzpolitischen Abend in Wien gab es einen Vortrag über die Umstellung vom Bundesheer auf @libreoffice. Ich hab gefragt, wie das finanziell ausschaut. Trotz, dass sie 7-8 Leute dafür beschäftigen, und für die initiale Umstellung auch Geld in die Hand nehmen mussten, haben sie jetzt schon gespart und die nächsten Jahre wird das nur noch mehr werden. Also erzählt das gerne weiter! Wenn ihr Leute nicht mit Unabhängigkeit als Argument erreichen könnt, dann vielleicht damit.

Außerdem fließen die Verbesserungen, die sie machen, wieder in das Community-Projekt zurück, wirklich sehr toll!

@RogueComments @ai6yr @T2R @StumpyTheMutt interesting. 🤔 I wonder why I was under the impression it didn't do well with abrasion? I thought that was an issue for the first gen of dyneema UL packs. My kakwa is ultra and it's been great. But I have babied it somewhat.

America, you got this

Ein rechtsextremer Anschlag in Niedersachsen, verhindert und an die Polizei übergeben von der Antifa.

Viel Berichterstattung dazu habe ich nicht gesehen.

My signature was in the system! First time in five years I didn't need to submit an affidavit ballot.

@steter it's a problem with WordPress caching. We just changed our server and I think there's a server setting for it. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for letting me know.

@futzle @liamvhogan Oh whoops, forgot to swap accounts.

@futzle @liamvhogan That’s cool, I’m having a triple-sharp deliberate for lunch. nbd.

Surprising no one, the inflammatory mailings were sent out by a Republican group, and the trans support group named is suing.

75% of the country is not happy.

I cannot say I blame them. I am, after all, one of them.

@snowgaze thank you :cwy:

I'm trying.

Venting here is part of the process 😔

@thewetmale @liamvhogan A bit disappointed that there are no double-flat accidentals in it but it’s stage not jazz. Maybe next one.
