The journey to move away from MS 365, #Google Docs, #Microsoft Office and #Windows doesn’t happen overnight.

You’ll have to compromise on some features, but one thing you can count on is #LanguageTool - a first-class #opensource proofreading tool for English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, and over 30 other languages.

@stephankleiber Das in @LibreOfficeDE verwendete frami de Wörterbuch von 2017 wird nicht mehr weiterentwickelt. Das #LanguageTool Team hat seitdem zehntausende Hinzufügungen und Verbesserungen am Wörterbuch vorgenommen [1],[2]. Leider hat #LibreOffice dies noch nicht wieder übernommen [3]. Dies ist dringend notwendig, da das Alte sehr viel schlechter ist.

Ik kan me doodergeren aan #taalfouten in de professionele context, zeker in deze tijden waarin er ingebouwde spellingscontroles, browserextensies als #LanguageTool (languagetool.org/nl), online woordenlijsten (woordenlijst.org) en #AI tools (Copilot, Perplexity ...) bestaan.

Dan zijn er zoveel hulpmiddelen, zie je nog dingen staan als "geef uw email adres op" of "beleid voorbereidend overleg". 😤

Geef een boost als je correcte spelling belangrijk vindt!

Oh, et le fait que #LanguageTool soit recommandé par Mozilla, alors que le principe de cette extension c’est d’envoyer à une IA via le réseau **TOUT** ce qu’on tape dans notre navigateur : j’ai pas les mots.

À l’époque certes lointaine où je contribuais activement, ça aurait fait hurler toute la commu francophone. Là, y a juste un compte Masto inactif. C’est triste à pleurer. 😭

People who self-host #LanguageTool in containers, which container image do you use?

More specifically, which one are you comfortable using and find trustworthy, considering you may be sending everything you type in any context to whatever is running in that image?

I know of at least four options, but there may be others:

Many users to not see functions indeed. The space bar example seems crazy to some, but I have seen it too. In the long run an intelligent agent might do the trick. Or a grammar and style check. #LanguageTool does this for space between paragraphs (it suggests to use styles).

BTW, I Iike that you mention YouTube for those in the Fediverse who cannot access peertube. 🙃 This is brilliant.

Besoin d’un correcteur grammatical sous Linux ? Le prolifique @sonny vient justement de développer Eloquent, basé sur LanguageTool.

Le logiciel propose une zone de saisie où vous pouvez taper et/ou copier-coller votre texte pour le faire analyser, mais il fonctionne aussi en arrière-plan comme serveur local LanguageTool, ce qui permet de l’utiliser dans les toutes les applications compatibles, comme LibreOffice, Firefox ou Thunderbird.

Novo app na área pro pessoal do 🐧: #Eloquent flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Eloq

Ele resolve algo que eu sinto falta desde que cheguei no Linux, análise gramatical de escrita! Basta colar o texto que escreveu nele para revisão, mas mais importantemente, ele roda um servidor baseado no protocolo do #LanguageTool localmente na sua máquina ao qual você pode apontar para que programas como o LibreOffice e Firefox integrem 🧩🫶

Наконец-то кто-то сделал более-менее нормальную и простую графическую обёртку для #LanguageTool: Eloquent (github.com/sonnyp/Eloquent). Только для Linux. Хотелось бы и для других ОС (ОСОБЕННО Android и iOS), но скорее всего её не будет, так как написана на GTK.

Я рассказывал про LanguageTool и особенно то, как его запустить локально (kooltechtricks.org/wiki/langua). Но это требует немного усилий и навыков работы с командной строкой. Есть, конечно, официальный графический интерфейс, но он что-то не очень, да и не запускает фоновый сервер.

А Eloquent легко ставится с Flathub (flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Eloq), и он сразу запускает фоновый локальный сервер (который можно использовать через расширения для браузера и других программ) и графический интерфейс (с проверкой текста). Пока сыроватый, даже нет кнопки "Завершить работу", чтобы не работал в фоне.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!
