The #company I'm currently working in used to be a serene and balanced #workplace, even if not very active in #opensource software. Unfortunately was recently acquired by a bigger company and things took a creepy turn (i.e. they are replacing #Linux computers with #Windows ones, they forbid the use of open source software like #Thunderbird because "it's insecure", and replaced our #OwnCloud with #OneDrive, etc.).

I feel it's time to change, but this time I would like to work for on open source projects and have a positive impact on the world.

I already submitted my CV to Nabu Casa, Wikimedia foundation and Nextcloud. I considered Mozilla, W3C, FSFE and EFF, but there is no match with my competences or they are not searching.

Are there other organizations active on open source software that I can send my application to? Any ideas?

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in den 2. Pre #diday 😎

Morgen ackere ich mich durch #Onedrive und #GoogleDrive Alternativen. Betriebssysteme stehen erst in der 2. Jahreshaelfte an.... ich probiere gerade so viel aus (z.Zt. @pop_os_official ) und das liegt u.a. daran, weil #Microsoft #Windows zerstoert hat 👇

Glückwunsch! 😁

#Onedrive #Microsoft #did

Alle Daten von #Onedrive sind runter und von der wohl lahmsten Cloud (im uns bekannten Universum) geloescht.

Alle Emails aus Outlook sind geloescht

Alle Logins mit dieser Outlook-Email sind angepasst worden.

Ich bin ab heute offiziell #Microsoft frei und das nach >30 Jahren und wisst ihr was? Das fuehlt sich verdammt gut an!

Zum naechsten #did verblogge ich diesen Prozess auf @info

Da haette der Satya aber damals auch nicht mit gerechnet 😎👇

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pallenberg/115921283677603208

So inzwischen bin ich nen Schritt weiter... leider nicht bzgl meiner Daten, aber ich weiss zumindest, woran es liegt:

#Onedrive bricht immer bei knapp ueber 20GB Download ab. Heisst also, dass ich meinen Daten Jurassic Park nun selektiv runterladen muss.

Mein #did wird dann wohl eher ne Woche und ich koennte im Strahl speien. Das ist einfach nur so schlecht, was #Microsoft da verbrochen hat.

Ich bin so ein Opfer, ey

Pargin is right - this should be illegal. In fact it ABSOLUTELY would be, except for the @pluralistic rule: "It's not a crime if we're using an app".

They're literally breaking & into your house & destroying your stuff. No amount of obfuscating legalese would let you or me get away with doing that.

It's fucking insane.

@rysiek This video about the #OneDrive file deletions is excellent:

(+ Some writing in German about it:
https://chaos.social/@frumble/115857100195247810 )

Leider auf TikTok, aber das Video ist verdammt gut: Der Autor hat herausgearbeitet, dass sich #OneDrive mit dem erratischen und schwer abstellbaren Upload der lokalen Dateien so verhält, weil es Microsofts Ziel ist, dass der 'originale' Speicherort deiner Dateien in der Cloud ist! Sie wollen das Paradigma drehen! 🤯
Das ergibt in der Cloud-Strategie von #Microsoft so viel Sinn! Sie setzen auf Zermürbung, bis man den neuen Status quo akzeptiert!

Everyone hates OneDrive, Microsofts cloud app that steals and deletes files

Happy third Sunday in Advent! 🕯️

For the last... 5 years (or so), I tried multiple different personal photo and video management services and have now landed at Immich.

I think it's really the best alternative I could find.
