#openformats — Public Fediverse posts

@itsfoss
It's unbelievable that an open source application focuses on OOXML and has only partial support for ODT.
Moreover xAI an Google AI? Come on...

Let's support openness and privacy, not proprietary formats and surveillance AIs, please!

That's why European organisations (& even national governments) should leverage their Invitations To Tender (ITT) and only accept submissions made using ODF formats (which all office suites can produce/edit/read).

Using open formats truly is a little 'price' for companies to pay, when they get hundreds of thousands or even millions € with an ITT.

Nice to see Cambridge University Libraries urge the use of open (non-proprietary) file formats:

"...we need to make sure the data files can be found and used by anyone at any time, forever. Ideally, this means using open file formats where possible..."

I'd rather we handwrite & mail letters back and forth.

The mere discussion of competing incompatible free meeting apps implies such larger societal problems than my remaining lifespan has to address even superficially.

Let's try this again 😅:

In a mad dash to a client meeting, I made my first presentation in @ia Presenter.

I spent ninety-eight percent of my time shaping my message and two percent clumsily navigating a foreign UI. I spent zero percent on presentation layout and formatting. That part was done automatically and looked great.

PDF is not enough: Axel Dürkop und Florian Hagen tell, why #science needs #openformats to communicate in timely manner.

Congratulations. And, thank you for making it available in several #OpenFormats.

I'm excited because I've seen several well-intentioned authors who have only made their open / OER textbook available as PDFs, or worse, ask you to "just clone it in Pressbooks". Not all of us have academic Pressbooks accounts.

So, thanks! May your book be well received and used widely.

had to configure #windows today and after downloading exe-files from the internet, i installed stuff like #notepadpp, #7zip, #vlc,… all the things i know from the long gone past came back to me.it gave me chill seeing these win3.11 dialogues again and the different fonts, blurry or broken anti-aliasing, i don't know.

I am so happy to be able to work on #linux only. A #floss system that brings all base applications, works #ootb and supports #openFormats by default.

…and it has a package manager

Make no mistake, FB and the rest of the corporate tech giants will do their best to make any internet rules - national or international - work in their favour, and make life hard for smaller players. Just as they have with the #EUCopyrightDirective. But it's also an opportunity for tech activists and civil society groups to do the opposite, and get rules on things like #Dataportability in #OpenFormats, that empower users to transition from the#DataFarms to community-scale #EthicalTech platforms.
