Google and Microsoft suites keep getting more expensive while offering less privacy.
Nextcloud replaces the whole stack: files, mail, calendar, and video calls. It's the most mature open-source alternative to big tech ecosystems.
Run your own instance on PikaPods starting at $4.00/mo. No data mining, just productivity. 🚀

Since this week in the F-Droid App Store, yesterday updated to version 1.0.1 and installed on my phone:
🔈👆 VolumeScroll:
Scroll anywhere using your volume buttons
Try this way of scrolling and you might not want to go back!
Possible advantages of page-by-page scrolling:
- Less distracting
- Easier to hold your phone tightly in one hand
- Some research suggests paging may help with attention and information recall
Especially great for reading articles, essays, books and other long-form text content.
Akin to "flipping pages" on physical media.
Features:
- ability to select apps in which volume-scrolling will be enabled
- customizable scroll amount
- invert direction option
- dual-volume-button shortcut toggle
- Quick Settings tile
- aesthetic minimalist Material You UI
How it works:
VolumeScroll uses an Accessibility Service to perform global scrolling actions across apps.
Privacy notes:
- No internet permission is required.
- Accessibility access is only used for scrolling and key handling features.

In case you have lost overview how #OpenSource office suites are related, #Wikipedia has a family tree for all StarOffice-based successors.
#OnlyOffice and its fork #EuroOffice are missing here, because they're from a separate, TeamLab-based tree.

Wie ist der Stand bei der #opensource Nutzung an der #schule ?
Für mich war neu, dass es über die Zusammenarbeit aus Schulträger und IT Dienstleister einen Weg gibt, dass nicht der Mathelehrer nebenbei die Schul-IT machen muss. Und ich hoffe mit dem nächsten #Schulpakt (also 2.0) wird das noch weiter standardisiert und finanziert.
