Dozens of countries use mail-voting because of its safety and accessibility.

Despite his attempts to undermine it, President Trump has used mail-in voting in two elections, including his own. Everyone deserves that same freedom to vote.

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week. That’s the highest download number since 2023. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems.
Why pay the Microsoft Tax? 🤔

Don't lose control of your data! A few days ago, we celebrated Document Freedom Day – championing open standards and free software. Here's a talk we gave with the Nepalese LibreOffice community: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/04...

I’ve switched to #LibreOffice for several weeks now, and it’s working great! 🙌🏻 It’s so refreshing to have AI be a true opt-in (which I have declined thus far), rather than the for-profit options that make it difficult or impossible to opt-out. 😬
LibreOffice is the privacy-oriented office suite and doesn't include AI out-of-the-box. No way. But some people find AI tools useful, so a community member has made a (fully optional!) extension to add these features if you want them: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/01...

Maybe this is a hot take given the ~discourse~ I've seen re: #ISLS24 community day, but the site visit at a local Buffalo bike repair & community activism space (GOBike) was fantastic. I am so thankful to the conference organizers for helping us to engage meaningfully with these educational spaces

Happy Loving Day to all the interracial couples out there. May we please keep love legal (also, what a last name to have for that particular case)!
