The #bookshop kobo.com sells lots of non-DRM eBooks! 
However, they also sell lots of DRM eBooks, all mixed together with the non-DRM, and no filter to sort them out 
This makes it very difficult to look for non-DRM books on #Kobo.
So, to solve this problem switching.social presents the Unofficial Kobo Search page, which lets you find non-DRM books available on your country's Kobo site:

Any feedback very welcome.

All over this web.♫

The worst is yet to come
#GitHub #Microsoft
Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.
It's time to decide.
Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?
Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?
This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.
Please Boost.
Unbelievable that it is already two years since we started #Nextcloud... What a ride. I'm especially thankful to the community which to a large extend immediately understood what we are trying to achieve and joined us.

Please don't hesitate to come to me with bug reports or questions. I can open github issues on your behalf (if it's not already known) and I can usually point to the right resource.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Thousands of yes.
Apps should be made by usage, not by protocol or platform.
We now have a fully functional compilation farm to generate #eelo ROMs. Builds are driven from the GitLab interface and compiled remotely on any server. We also have automated daily builds.
Thanks to our awesome team of translators, our website at https://eelo.io is now fully available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian!
Bern, the capital of Switzerland, is moving its schools to Nextcloud! This means that 10.000 students will enjoy a free, decentralized and open cloud in the future. A great win for #Nextcloud and #FreeSoftware in general. https://nextcloud.com/blog/next-big-open-source-win-capital-of-switzerland-moves-schools-to-nextcloud/
