🇦🇹 Austria's Armed Forces have replaced MS Office with LibreOffice on 16,000+ workstations 📄
This shift began in 2020 to avoid mandatory cloud reliance ☁️
Their goal? Digital sovereignty—not cost saving 🔒
They even contributed 5+ person-years of code 🛠️
EU trend toward open-source grows 🇪🇺

Google deviendra l’autorité centrale de validation de toutes les applications Android, même celles qui ne sont pas sur le Play Store.
Il serait temps que la @EUCommission fasse quelque chose pour ça, avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.

🛰️ I’m currently experimenting with combining the Copernicus STAC and S3 APIs to make the EO-Tools Sentinel-1 processing chain leaner and more efficient.
The idea is to avoid downloading full products when only a subset of bursts is needed.
I know the total monthly bandwidth allowance, but does anyone know if there’s a way to check how much bandwidth remains after using the API?

Vorbis is a lossy audio format.
MP3 alternative.
Opus alternative.
Consider Vorbis if your portable device does not support Opus.
Some portable devices support Vorbis but do not support Opus.
Vorbis was replaced by Opus and both are developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation.
After ripping audio CD to FLAC, change the format from FLAC to Vorbis and rip the CD again.
