It's both Valentine's Day and #iLoveFS Day today, so I'll share some of the Free Software applications that I have loved using in the past year: * @npub1du2p...f6r3, @npub12xyx...dtdy and @npub1lxtn...4044 GNU/Linux; * @npub1ncyt...3x0q Plasma Desktop and a lot of their apps, especially the Kate editor and Kontact suite; * @npub1tgg4...qwzh (Incredibly useful); * @npub13gcd...hkve Firefox (Linux and Android); * @npub163hd...mv0n and the @Tusky client (Tusky looks good, works well, and is feature-packed but accessible); 🧶1/2

I got a drawing tablet for Christmas so decided to make this fanart (CC BY-SA 4.0 Oliver Geer 2024) on Krita, another piece of KDE software (that you can use on many operating systems, not just Linux). By the way, they're fundraising:

Also, thanks Linux Wacom for the out-of-the-box FOSS drivers.

#latinoamerica #SoftwareLibre #latam #latampol #FOSS #flisol #askFedi Estoy investigando el impacto del Software Libre en la economía y soberanía tecnológica en la América hispanohablante*. ¿Hay estadísticas, eventos, leyes, opiniones o proyectos que debería saber?
