#LibreOffice is available in over 120 languages – but for some, our community needs help, such as with Swahili: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/27/help-us-to-improve-libreoffices-swahili-translation/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

#Inkscape 1.4.4 is getting soooo close 🤏! Try out the release candidate for this bugfix and maintenance release and help us catch any blocker bugs 🪤🐛 by giving it a good round of testing before the release (planned for May)! https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.4rc/ #testing #freesoftware #floss #libreGraphics

How good is #LibreOffice in screenwriting? According to one user on Ask LibreOffice, very good – especially since Markdown support was added: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/21/using-libreoffice-for-writing-screenplays/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

#CaliforniaLaw is written by people who are either very ignorant or very incompetent. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043 They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple. But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories. There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts. #MidnightBSD #FreeSoftware #Unix #California #USLaw #AgeVerification #GDPR

Do you really "own" your data? It depends – if it's stored in a proprietary, closed format from a single vendor, maybe not. Learn more about Document Freedom Day, which we celebrated in various places recently: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/04/15/libreoffice-at-document-freedom-day-in-noida-india/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware #openstandards
