Any other UK business people and FOSS lovers seen the HMRC changes coming to how business taxes are filed?

> From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software. This means we'll be closing our web and paper-based systems for account filings on that date.

At a quick glance the lists of commercial software contains NO open source/libre options. Looks like a win for proprietary.

Please boost for visibility!

🚄 We partned with SBB, DB & ÖBB to organize the #Hack4Rail hackathon in Bern. 170 railway and tech enthusiasts, also from SNCF, Infrabel & Flatland, worked in 21 teams to solve real challenges with #OpenSource solutions.

We established open collaboration from day one, ensuring innovative projects are sustained, and supported the whole event with FOSS infrastructure, e.g. @nextcloud and @matrix.

Check out the video for event highlights. We look forward to further collaboration!

Heck yeah, this thing will blow up! awesome

Introducing Operese (a Windows-to-Linux migration tool made by a nerd):

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw
(or YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw)

The demo is very impressive! 👀

It apparently migrates your #Windows10 installation to #Linux #Kubuntu (❤️) with all your files ready to use. 🚀

Written in #Rust, but not yet #OpenSource (according to author will be Open Source in the near future).

These days, my life is software policy, FOSS activism, & technology politics.

I've been snubbed and/or insulted by everyone from Microsoft to #OpenSource Initiative – which BTW have more in common than difference.

I was a mediocre drummer but am a world class software rights activist. The political opposition is lucky that I listened to my drum teacher. FOSS doesn't need Neil Peart rn.

Big Tech will realize they were forced to play jazz, but it'll be too late to curtail our rights by then.
