Sorry guys... actually not, I'm not sorry.

90% of donations to the @libreoffice projects are coming from individuals.
Companies unfortunately do not contribute that much in economical or material way on an #OpenSource project that is the major barrier between freedom of choice and a full monopoly by Microsoft in the office productivity market.

Organisations should realise that a strong LibreOffice helps in creating a healthy competition and lower also their costs.

So, please, contribute in any way you can to help yourself.

#OOXML is a lie.

If you want to use an Open Standard for your documents use #ODF

Vaccine sorted!

Now also EDPS is saying loud and clear that #privacy friendly alternatives to the usual social are available.

Starter ready to be fried.
Tuna and cheese samoussas.

I'm wondering if the EDPB shouldn't intervene with an official communication against #Microsoft as they are once again misleading the public, first with their invalid SCCs and now by stating they comply and exceed EDPB's recommendations.

There is absolutely nothing in their blog and attached document that resembles any of the additional measures required to comply with EDPB's recommendations but it seems like it doesn't really matter to them.

Reading C-311/18 #SchremsII/#PrivacyShield,
EU Commission #SCC (2010/87/EU) art. 4a and EU EDPB FAQs point 5 I can only infer that it's unethical and illegal for US #Cloud providers to state they can transfer and process personal data even when they claim tha data stays in EU (which it doesn't).

Change my mind.

Things happening here tonight.

Entropy over symmetry

I have no idea how he could recognise them but my Portuguese butcher assured me that both of these chickens were called Frango.
