This article contains an important factual error: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3481661/how-open-source-changed-everything-again.html - Microsoft's Visual Studio Code is *not* open source, just like Google Chrome isn't. It's built on the open source VSCodium, like Chrome is built on Chromium. But neither Chrome nor VSCode is open source.
The city of #Bern wants to keep Google and Microsoft out of their schools! 🎆

Almost #BrokenFreeFromGoogle! My new #Fairphone3 does not use a Google account but instead relies on #FDroid, #Blokada, and #AuroraStore as a #PlaystoreProxy for apps like #Wegeheld and #ReplacePlastic. @Fairphone Hope #FairphoneOpen comes soon for #FP3!
A gorgeously restored #Viennese-style #coffee house, an #artisanal #bakery serving fully #organic #breakfast for the #early_bird and a coffee bar I still want to visit are the Christmas additions to the #organictraveller's guide to #Munich #coffeehouses:
