Jahresplan für mehr digitale Souveränität!
Monat März 2026
Eigene digitale Identität aufbauen!
Warum ein unabhängiger E‑Mail-Anbieter der erste Schritt in die digitale Souveränität ist!
Wem gehört eigentlich deine digitale Identität?
Eine einfache Frage. Und doch beantworten wir sie selten bewusst. Denn die meisten von uns haben ihre E‑Mail-Adresse vor vielen Jahren eingerichtet. Vielleicht bei Gmail. Vielleicht bei Outlook. Oder bei iCloud. Es war bequem, kostenlos, schnell erledigt. Seitdem begleitet uns diese Adresse durch unser gesamtes digitales Leben.
Aber was würde passieren, wenn dieses Konto plötzlich nicht mehr erreichbar wäre? Wenn es gesperrt würde, gehackt oder aus irgendeinem Grund blockiert? Kein Zugriff mehr auf Online-Banking. Kein Login in den Passwortmanager. Keine Möglichkeit, Passwörter zurückzusetzen. Innerhalb weniger Minuten würde aus einem scheinbar harmlosen E‑Mail-Postfach das Zentrum unserer digitalen Handlungsfähigkeit werden.
Wenn wir über digitale Souveränität sprechen, denken viele zuerst an Messenger oder Browser. Doch der eigentliche Hebel liegt tiefer. Er liegt dort, wo alle Fäden zusammenlaufen. Bei der E‑Mail-Adresse.
In diesem Jahr setzen wir uns das Ziel, unsere digitale Souveränität zu stärken und vom passiven Nutzer zu aktiven Gestaltern unserer digitalen Welt zu werden. Unser Jahresplan dient dabei als strukturierte Landkarte, die uns auf diesem Weg leitet. Jede Phase ist so gestaltet, dass sie aufeinander aufbaut und uns die Möglichkeit bietet, uns in unserem eigenen Tempo zu entwickeln.
Der Übergang zur digitalen Souveränität ist mehr als nur eine Veränderung in der Nutzung digitaler Werkzeuge, er ist eine bewusste Entscheidung, Verantwortung für unsere digitale Umgebung zu übernehmen. Dieser Plan ermöglicht es uns, Kompetenzen zu erlangen, die wir benötigen, um informierte Entscheidungen zu treffen und unsere Daten, Informationen und online Aktivitäten aktiv zu steuern.
Monat Jänner 2026
Volle Transparenz über unser digitales Leben!
Das Ziel dieses Monats ist es, volle Transparenz über unser digitales Leben zu erlangen. Ohne ein klares Bild unserer eigenen Abhängigkeiten können wir keine gezielten Veränderungen vornehmen.
Digitale Inventur:Wir beginnen mit einer digitalen Inventur, lasst uns alle Konten, Abonnements und regelmäßig genutzten Dienste auflisten, besonders jene der großen Tech-Konzerne wie Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft und Amazon. Notieren wir konkret, wofür wir jeden Dienst nutzen (z. B. Google Drive für berufliche Dokumente, WhatsApp für die Familie) etc.
Datenkopie anfordern:Parallel dazu beantragen wir bei mindestens zwei großen Anbietern (zum Beispiel Google und Meta) eine Kopie unserer gespeicherten Daten. Dieser oft überraschende Blick hinter die Kulissen macht die abstrakten Daten konkret und zeigt uns, was bereits gesammelt wurde.
Digital-Tagebuch führen:Begleiten wir diesen Prozess mit einem einfachen Digital-Tagebuch, Notieren wir eine Woche lang stichpunktartig, wann und warum wir zum Smartphone oder Computer greifen. Dies schärft unser Bewusstsein für automatisiertes Nutzungsverhalten. Durch diese Schritte schaffen wir die Grundlage für informierte Entscheidungen und gezielte Veränderungen in unserem digitalen Leben.
Mit meiner kostenlosen Vorlage zur digitalen Bestandsaufnahme helfe ich euch, Klarheit über eure Online Dienste zu gewinnen für einen bewussteren Umgang und mehr digitale Souveränität.
Der Schutz der eigenen digitalen Identität wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie ein technisches Spezialthema. In der Praxis sind es jedoch meist ganz banale Schwachstellen, über die Angreifer Zugang erhalten, schwache oder mehrfach verwendete Passwörter und fehlende zusätzliche Absicherung. Identitätsdiebstahl, Kontoübernahmen oder Datenlecks entstehen selten durch ausgefeilte Hacks, sondern fast immer durch vermeidbare Alltagsfehler. Genau deshalb lohnt es sich, bei den Grundlagen anzusetzen und Gewohnheiten zu ändern, statt auf komplizierte Technik zu setzen.
Ein zentraler Schritt ist es, das eigene Gedächtnis als Passwortspeicher abzulösen und einen Passwortmanager wie Bitwarden oder KeePass zu nutzen. Diese Werkzeuge speichern alle Zugangsdaten verschlüsselt und erzeugen für jeden Dienst automatisch lange, sichere und einzigartige Passwörter. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass ein einzelnes kompromittiertes Passwort gleich mehrere Konten gefährdet. Besonders wichtig ist das für sensible Bereiche wie das E-Mail-Konto, Online-Banking oder soziale Netzwerke. Ergänzend sollte überall, wo es möglich ist, eine Zwei Faktor Authentifizierung aktiviert werden. Ein Passwort allein bietet heute keinen ausreichenden Schutz mehr. Authenticator Apps wie Aegis oder Authy gelten dabei als deutlich sicherer als SMS Codes, die vergleichsweise leicht abgefangen werden können. Dem E-Mail-Konto kommt hierbei eine besondere Rolle zu, da es häufig als Schlüssel zum Zurücksetzen aller anderen Passwörter dient und entsprechend sorgfältig abgesichert werden sollte.
Doch Zugangssicherheit endet nicht beim Login selbst. Viele Risiken entstehen bereits während der täglichen Nutzung des Browsers. Neben klassischen Browsern mit gezielt installierten Erweiterungen kann auch ein sicherheitsfokussierter Browser wie Brave eine sinnvolle Ergänzung sein. Brave basiert auf Chromium, ist jedoch so angepasst, dass Funktionen wie Werbe‑ und Trackerblocker bereits integriert sind. Zusätzlich bietet der Browser Mechanismen zum Blockieren oder Ersetzen bestimmter Skripte sowie konfigurierbare Schutzfunktionen, die direkt auf Seitenebene angepasst werden können. Ergänzt durch Erweiterungen wie uBlock Origin und Privacy Badger lassen sich Tracking, schädliche Skripte und datensammelnde Netzwerke bereits im Ansatz unterbinden. Das erhöht nicht nur die Privatsphäre, sondern reduziert auch die Angriffsfläche deutlich.
Euer Feedback ist mir wichtig: Ideen und Verbesserungsvorschläge bitte auf Mastodon
Klar. Ich hinterlasse das für alle, die interessiert sind und für den FollowerFriday. Leider wissen so viele Leute nicht, wen sie im Fediverse finden können. Da kann man nicht oft genug empfehlen. @schwarwel
Von der Fruchtblase in die Wiege, den Kinderwagen, auf das Tretauto, Skates, Fahrrad, Motorroller, Auto, später in den Camper. Außerdem Ski, Gleitschirmfliegen, Segeln, Motoryachtfahren, Flugzeug fliegen, Eisenbahn, Raketenfahrzeug, Trecker oder Dragcar.
Aber Menschen sind angeblich nicht in der Lage das #Betriebssystem zu wechseln, weil die Bedienung anders ist 🤷♀️
Das Problem der Menschen ist m.E. die Trägheit und keine Lust auf Umgewöhnung, vielleicht weil mangelnde Neugier, aber auf jeden Fall wollen sie nicht von gewohntem ablassen. Selbst wenn der Verstand sagt, es wäre besser. Beispiele sind: - gesündere Ernährung - umweltfreundlichere Verhalten - mehr Bewegung und viele andere mehr -
@Alter_Mann Das sehe ich auch so. Und zudem sind sie nicht frei in ihrer Entscheidungsfindung, weil von außen manipulierbar und das machen sich Unternehmen, Lobbyisten, Politik und weitere Akteure gern zu Nutze.
Dabei machen Veränderungen so viel Freude. Das ganze Leben besteht doch daraus. Zumindest sollte es das meiner Ansicht nach. Außerdem halten uns Veränderungen auch fit. Sowohl geistig als auch körperlich.
Ich hatte mal in nem Praktikum vor Jahren nen "erfahrenen" ITler, der geflucht hat, als nach nem Update von ner Software plötzlich der Buttons links oben statt rechts oben oder so waren.
Da dachte ich mir nur: "Alter! Dein Job ist Veränderung zu implementieren. Ob du Code oder ne Config File schreibst oder was am Netzwerk änderst, im Kopf einfach alle paar Tage alles alte weg zu schmeißen, ist die grundlegende Fähigkeit für deinen Job. Bist du blöd?!"
The EU is gearing up for a historic shift: In 2026, a new legislative package is set to be introduced, aiming to drastically reduce dependence on foreign tech in AI, cloud infrastructure, and semiconductors. The goal? Public institutions should prioritize European open-source solutions—similar to for example Schleswig-Holstein’s open-source approach, but EU-wide. Why this could be a game-changer:
✅ Less US dominance: If adopted, authorities would have to choose providers fully under EU control—with transparent data flows and local servers.
✅ Open source in focus: The EU recognizes open standards as key to digital sovereignty and is planning to fund European alternatives—from cloud solutions to AI, and even community platforms like friendi.ca.
✅ Municipalities could lead: Cities and towns could set up their own servers (for email, collaboration, social network or local services) with potential EU support.
Europe’s digital independence is on the rise ☀️

Genuine curiosity as a digital sovereignty watcher: do you have a source?
The EU has been talking about digital sovereignty for 5 or 6 years but what they mean is "European Big Tech". They are still committed to SaaS.
Specific countries - France, Luxembourg, some parts of Germany and Denmark - have a different approach of bringing core function back in house and dropping SaaS as much as possible.
If the EU was pivoting to that approach it would be HUGE.

@Lemmus @marion_grau ingen andre enn tech kyndige folk SOM IKKJE har hengitt seg til sine mestre i vesten.
Altså når eg jobbet som enmannsforetak pushet eg åpen og fri programvare, men ble tvunget til å jobbe med Oracle, tvunget til å jobbe med Microsoft. Eg gav meg i 2019 fordi eg var så oppgitt.
Etter flere tiår med det føler eg meg ikkje validert for at det er åpenbart nå. Eg blir bare mer forbanna.
De varierende industriene i Norge har også skylden, inkl IT industrien.
@mothninja I love the Italian coffee bar experience. Standing, drinking an espresso, chatting with whoever happens to be grabbing an espresso at the same time. #Italia
US expat tooting from Portugal. Today, as most days, I have my favorite egg. I saute some green onions and spinach in butter, then cook an egg all mixed up over it, (I would say scrambled but no milk or whisking is involved) arrange it to be toast sized, spinkle grated cheese over it and cover it to let the cheese melt while my one piece of bacon finishes cooking and I pop one slice in the toaster. When toast is done I assemble toast egg and bacon for a open faced breakfast sandwich.
@msbellows @amiserabilist I do not like any of the packaged shredded cheeses here so I shred and mix gouda, cheddar, swiss, mozarella and parmesan. I make enough to last the week every Sunday.
Most of the time, it's a lazy version. I grab a cast iron skillet, put olive oil in, and turn the heat to medium high, then make a spice mix based on smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and a touch of MSG, then grab a tin of peeled tomatoes and mash them with a potato masher.
Then I dice an onion and throw it in the skillet, followed by adding a diced paprika (bell pepper, or capsicum, for other cultures), and then I often add some beans and other vegetables that I have left around.
Add the spices to the sauteing veggies, and stir well, then add the mashed tomato, and then add a few gloves of garlic. Let that sit for a while, then turn off the heat a bit. A minute or two after the heat is turned off, dig holes in the mixture, and add eggs with an intact yoke in those holes. Then add a bit of water, and turn the heat back to medium-low and put a lid on.
Once the eggs are in the desired state (for me this means solid whites with gooey yolk), sprinkle grated parmesan on top, and eat straight out of the pan. Add some bread if desired.
London. Depending on day, either almond croissants, or a plate of sausage, bacon and ketchup. The latter usually happens when I'm in a hotel for a gig/conference/meeting.
I'm one of those bastards who often skips breakfast and just have a nice matcha in the morning instead. When I did partake in brekkie it was usually overnight oats. In various times of my life it might instead be a poppyseed bagel, a hard boiled egg, or (I was going through a lot at this time) a bread roll with chicken liver pâté on it.
A mixed blend of several textures of oats, a spoonful of chia seeds and of flaxmeal, all cooked so thick that my spoon can stand up in it. Topped with lots of cinnamon or a pie-spice blend, and maybe some butter or maybe some sour cream.
@zenbeater I don’t know if it’s my favorite but I eat scrambled eggs and toast quite often. I honestly like cereal a lot - a big bowl of Life Cereal and almond milk. But it’s so much sugar and I know I don’t feel as good later on. But if we’re talking unhealthy breakfasts, chocolate chip waffles and bananas is another good one. When I was a kid I had a friend’s mom that would always make us these egg pitas. I loved them but I don’t know what she put in them.
Wales, as far from a city as it’s possible to be. I do like a full cooked vegan breakfast (sausages, mushrooms, beans etc) but can’t be bothered usually so it’s crumpets and homemade jam today, once I manage to get up
South west England. The bitter taste of strong black coffee to wash down a fusion of existential dread and nihilism at the state of humanity as I doomscroll the propaganda that passes as news in 2026.*
*A special treat when I have a bit of time in the morning. The usual breakfast is coffee and eggs.
A Joe's Special omelette (ground beef, onions, fresh spinach; topped with shredded Parmesan) made with egg whites only, buckwheat pancakes with blackberry syrup, fresh fruit, English muffin, fresh strong coffee with cream. I may have ordered this so many times that I eventually just got it tattooed on my forearm.
Sheffield, England. Well, it's the closest place anyone's likely to have heard of. Usual breakfast would be wheat flakes in a bowl with milk (no fork required!) and wholemeal toast with marmalade. Duerr's Seville normally, it's not as sweet as many, more tangy. Favourite would be an Ulster fry, but without the tomatoes or white pudding, with soda rather than wheaten bread. And tea. Breakfast always includes and is preceded by, tea.
I eat quite a lot different stuff for breakfast, avocado toast this morning, sometimes toast and jam, porridge, or oats fruit and yoghurt, but my absolute favourite is the full English.
When I lived in the U.S., my breakfast of choice was orange juice and Dannon coffee yogurt. (Specifically that brand and flavour.)
Here in N.Z., coffee yogurt is not a thing, so now I drink coffee and it's usually a soft-boiled egg with a couple pieces of fruit (bananas, mandarins, or sliced apples depending on season). There used to be a cafe across the street from work that made "rosti" - basically bacon and egg on hashed potatoes - it was amazing.
As favourite breakfasts go though, I have all sorts of nostalgia associated with a typical breakfast in Taipei - soymilk soup, deep fried donuty sticks, and sesame buns.
Near Cherokee NC, US. Breakfast is usually a mug of coffee and a banana. In the Winter, sometimes grits and coffee. In Summer, I love any kind of melon and coffee.
Latvia. I don't think I have one favourite breakfast, some sort of sandwich an tea, maybe? Or maybe a pastry and tea. This morning I had a Lithuanian sweet (Tinginukas) with tea.
@CazzPhoenix Oh, I beg to differ. Try throwing some chopped pecans in the hot waffle iron for a minute or two before you add the batter. Waffle heaven.
@humanhorseshoes I love honest people like you. McDonald's hash browns are tiny little compressed heart attacks (just starch, fat, and salt), but ridiculously delicious!
@msbellows I justify it as being on my busiest day and I am moving a lot and skipping lunch so breaking my neck to get to McDonalds before they stop serving breakfast is my justification for the McBreakfast
West Midlands UK. Currently on salty vegan porridge breakfasts with a mug of Earl Grey tea with oat milk. Come summer I will pivot to muesli and iced tea or coffee.

From the US (Chicago) but current stranded in India (Delhi) with family for...reasons.
Such a tough choice. Right now, I might say upma (first photo) or poha (second photo). Both are unique to India and both can be fantastic if done right.
@seanbala Indian breakfast rocks. After spending time there our Sunday morning breakfast is chai (with jaggery and ginger) and sabudana khichdi (or upma if we haven't planned ahead to soak the sabudana). So delish.
Australia, good strong espresso of course (essential), I used to work as a produce buyer, at the market 4am bidding / haggling on the produce as it came in, so a choice fresh Mandarin and a hadful of cashews in the fog before dawn
@afranke Do you consume your breakfast with a big bowl of coffee, Alexandre? I visited France a few times and observed coffee being enjoyed out of bowls in peoples' homes. Edited to add: I see that you drink black tea, rather than coffee, Alexander. Do you drink it from a bowl?
@Guillotine_Jones I drink my tea from a mug. I never ever drink coffee, but I can confirm some people here do drink a bowl of coffee in the morning, although I’ve seen more mugs in the past decade or so. @LoganFive
@afranke Mugs are great and many people like them, Alexandre, but as soon as I saw French people drinking coffee from a bowl, I was converted. There's something friendly and comforting about bowls, in my opinion.
I'm replying to you, Mr Five, from the Untied Snakes, and my favorite thing for breakfast is leftovers. Instantly ready and doesn't even need to be warmed up.
Ohio, USA. My go-to breakfast is coffee and two hearty slices of homemade sourdough with sunny-side-up eggs from our chickens. I usually top them with homemade jelly and a locally made spicy paprika blend.
Southend, England, UK. A big mug of tea with a full English: bacon, sausage, beans, fried egg, fried slice. My wife can have my mushrooms and I’ll have her tomatoes.
The UK, in South Yorkshire. I love a homemade fruit smoothie with oat milk, and a cafetière of coffee. I also really love a bacon sandwich and cup of tea as a treat breakfast.
First breakfast is coffee with just enough bites of something to take meds with.
Second breakfast is when real food happens. And if I get to pick a favourite it would be somewhere between an Irish and English full breakfast fry-up. Eggs, beans, toast, bangers, white or black pudding, sautéed button mushrooms.
And a doctor to check my arteries for blockages. 🤣
although, a fry-up is a favourite second breakfast that I will make for myself.
If we’re talking about a breakfast made FOR me by someone else, then it would be difficult to beat a steaming bowl of phở. Ideally filet mignon and oxtail, but sometimes with fish balls hits the spot.
I’m tooting from Louisiana, part of the Vichy U.S. My favorite breakfast is any of the many permutations of eggs, grits, potatoes, and breakfast meats with lots of coffee. Especially if it’s prepared and served to me by someone else. 😋
@LoganFive@beige.party @holger@mastodon.de Germany 😊 Favorite breakfast would be bread pudding. I don’t make it at home but it is my go to whenever I find it somewhere else 😅
Learn how to make authentic roti canai or roti paratha! A recipe that has been used for generations, that will give you fool proof, flaky delicious roti every time! Perfect for breakfast, lunch dinner or even dessert.
I'm in France and start the day with freshly ground Lavazza Qualita Oro espresso and homemade yogurt with blueberries, walnuts, almonds and a sprinkling of inulin 😋
I then have a salad with more nuts, two hard-boiled eggs, mozzarella and a vinaigrette of apple cider vinegar, iodised salt and olive oil.
🏴 (specifically the Orkney archipelago in Scotland, UK), and current favorite breakfast is a cafe cubano and a white or brown breakfast roll with link sausage and a fried egg inside.
@TimWardCam @michaelgemar @Affekt Hominy (a larger, coarse, primitive relative of corn), treated with lye, boiled in salty water or milk until soft, mashed, and served like a thick porridge. Think of a cross between polenta and mashed potatoes. I like mine with butter salt pepper. There's nothing else like them, and they're delicious.
@reneeremains @TimWardCam @Affekt it’s such a weirdly regional thing, too. And not really the regions you’d expect! I grew up eating grits in southern New Jersey, but my wife grew up in Illinois (near her mom’s family who came there from Mississippi) had never had them until we were adults living in Washington DC.
@josh0 @TimWardCam @Affekt I doubt I would have ever had grits if it weren’t for my grandmother. Even though I grew up in Texas no one else in my family likes grits. A lot of Southerners don’t like them and if they’re never served them as a kid, they don’t want to try them.
@reneeremains @TimWardCam @Affekt complete non sequitur, but I’m suddenly reminded of a roommate from Texas who, as far as we could tell, never ate anything besides canned hominy and hot dogs. Great guy. Total weirdo about food. 😅
@reneeremains @TimWardCam @Affekt this has definitely been my experience! Though the fact that most of my Texas experience is with Austin and Amarillo probably colors that somewhat…
@josh0 @TimWardCam @Affekt 🤔 Pretty sure it’s the whole damn state. I grew up in Austin, but have lived in 3 major Texas cities and everyone is some kind of weirdo.
@reneeremains @josh0 @TimWardCam I don't know, Dallas is like the least weird, colorful, entertaining place I've ever lived in my life. If conformity was a place, Dallas would be it.
@Affekt @reneeremains @TimWardCam I dunno, I once hung out with a bunch of old guys at a Denny’s in Grapevine at like 2am, and they were a hoot. They all had radios and headphones, and were listening to Art Bell, then would take off the headphones to discuss conspiracy theories during the commercial breaks.
@Affekt @reneeremains @TimWardCam fascinating! I suspect that what we’re seeing is the historical echoes of pre-industrial agriculture. Grits are essentially a by-product of processing corn with traditional stone mills, and the Midwest only became the maize-powerhouse we know today through the industrialization of our food system, including steel mills which only produce grits if you specifically want them. The satellite grits hotspots like LA, are no doubt a result of migration, with California and Los Angeles being hot spots for regional specialties from around the country and the world (Oakland, for example, has some of the best BBQ joints I’ve ever been to, many of which have been around since the 70s.)
Hard question to answer for me. I would say friendly and welcoming overall. Moldavian wine is what our country pride, landscape consisting of hills so you can have easy or painful time as bicyclist. Lots of Russian speaking so Russian and Romanian are interchangeable for young folks. We have divide with Transnistrea (which is basically enclave of pro Russian self appointed government) so there always fear of being consumed either by Romania (sell our country) or Russia (will take as granted). Fears changed before and after war of course, but russian propaganda still strong(lots of money flows for organised protests against government).
Yeah, thought whole night but not an easy question to answer. If you are historical buff then you will find lots of places to visit.
USA. I would eat breakfast every meal and sometimes do. I lived on cold cereal as a kid, but Sundays my parents would cook a big southern breakfast of bacon, grits, scrambled eggs, biscuits, potatoes, and blueberry pancakes when the berries were in season.
When I visited Bolivia, where my dad is from, I had pao de queijo and cafe con leche for breakfast, which was mind-blowing to me at the time. I still love these when I can find good ones in the US.
As an adult, my favorites are grits with poached eggs, really eggy french toast, oatmeal with lots of nuts and berries, and freshly baked sourdough toasted with butter.
The thing I actually "eat" in the morning every day is a big ol drink blend of raspberry matcha, chia seeds, collagen, and cashew milk. It is delicious, and also required so that I get enough fiber and protein and hydration and all. #adulting
I do love me some scrambled eggs and bacon, sausage, toast and lots of coffee.....but alas that is not good for me so end up with either some boiled egg or dark rye bread with cheese.....and lots of coffee.
Catskill, New York, USA. So many faves: full English, waffles and bacon, kippers and eggs, oatmeal with fruit, bagel and lox, bacon and eggs, banana pancakes—who can choose one?
Cornwall, Nr. England. A pot of decaffeinated coffee and a bowl of muesli with a spoonful each of fruit and yoghurt, a splash of oat milk. Bit boring but I've got to look after my heart if I want to last a few more years yet.
I'm in the UK. Usually, I skip breakfast as a way of getting some fasting in. At the moment, though, I'm suffering from heartburn (which started during my recent chickenpox episode), and I need to eat more often than usual.
I usually have a banana & jam sandwich on wholemeal with a bit of chopped fruit (maybe a pear and a satsuma, maybe a couple of plums, or whatever I can find in the fridge), accompanied by a pint of decaf green tea.
I have a schizoid tendency to eat the same thing on repeat, so nearly every morning for breakfast I have Icelandic-style skyr yogurt and four belvita crunchy breakfast biscuits with a glass of kombucha.
On the weekends I sometimes like to practice making the best medium-boiled eggs I can manage for myself, which I like to have with buttered sourdough toast, some plant-based sausages, and I’ll usually have skyr and kombucha with that as well
San Francisco Bay Area. My partner and I have breakfast together every morning: bagels with butter and cream cheese and homemade lattes (mine hot/theirs iced).
Netherlands here, today I had leftovers for breakfast, being mashed potato and cauliflower with cheese bechamel sauce. I like hearty breakfast, waking up with what others would call dinner is entirely my vibe.
from the US and I don’t think I can beat a really good bagel with lox and all the fixings. And a big latte. Now that I’m in CA I won’t bother with bagels, so favorite is probably chilaquiles.
Usually a smoothie with berries, avocado, greens, flax seeds, and yogurt. Today steel cut oats, strawberries, blueberries and flax. 2 big cups of coffee. Southern California coast. Strawberry capital of the world. 🍓🌞
Eastern Ontario Canada. I generally skip breakfast these days but if I do, my favourite is 50/50 scrambled eggs, homemade sausage, sautéed spinach and tomato slices. Decafe coffee w unsweetened chocolate almond milk.
(50/50 eggs is 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites. Like 'egg white' eggs but with actual flavour.)
My favorite breakfast, if I have dark rye with caroway, I like to spread garlic hummus on it, then top with sliced raw onions, sliced tomato, bacon if I have it, and scrambled eggs with hot sauce.
My typical breakfast however is just an enormous mug of coffee.
US and my favorite is a little grits casserole that my mom used to make with breakfast leftovers when I didn't get up early enough. Grits and bacon and cheese with egg stirred in and popped in the oven till it set.
Sacramento, California, USA Usually cereal (Cheerios, Fiber One, or Kashi Go) with milk, banana, and berries. Slight deviation this morning: Quaker Oats with prunes and berries. If I’m eating out: big ass omelet with meat, cheese, and veggies.
Southern California, US. I go through streaks, where there is only one breakfast that will satisfy me for months and then I need to switch. I fluctuate between cold cereal (ie Fruity Pebbles, Crispix), oatmeal, and scrambled eggs with imitation crab. Oh I almost forgot the one constant and thing I cannot live without - HOT TEA 😁. My favorite Supreme Ginseng Oolong 🥰
The Netherlands. And I like freshly baked bread rolls with a variety of toppings (mostly savoury, like cheese or hummus) but on weekdays usually go for wholewheat toast (also with savoury toppings). And tea.

hello from Finland, that’s a nice question! Most often I have a sandwich for breakfast, either a fancy one like this of with just cheese. I’ll have coffee if I have someone with me, usually I don’t bother brewing just for myself.
@menneisyytesi finland too. i usually eat two slices of bread with cheese and tomato (calling it 'sandwich' sounds like exaggeration 😁) and have two big mugs of tea
Kotka, SE Finland. I tend to skip breakfast, but recently I've been eating plain yoghurt with banana slices and puffed oats/pecan granola. Two mugs of tea. Blueberry pancakes, if I have the time and the sweet tooth's aching.
posting from Thailand. This morning ate pineapple and a little steam bun for first breakfast and for second breakfast ate kaprau, a holy basil stir fry over rice and a fried egg.

Hi from Finland! I like uunipuuro; oven porridge. It’s made generally with milk (we use oat milk) and the recipes I prefer also have some egg to bind it. This one has grated carrot too, and chopped nuts mixed with syrup and oil on top to make a crunchy topping. Works very well with plain yoghurt.
North Carolina, USA. My favorite is a big Irish breakfast. But I can't eat that anymore. So I usually have berries and plain Greek yogurt because I'm old and sad. 😂
Absolute favourite brekky is a prawn Thai green curry with sticky rice.
If I can't have that, then sardines fried with kale, pepper, crispy bacon pieces. Then add a fried egg, some chilli flakes and croutons, dump into a bowl and dice half an avo into it.
If I can't have that, then eggs benni with smoked salmon and wilted baby spinach on fresh sourdough toast.
Aaand if i can't have that, then I love a bowl of oat porridge made with water and salt, with a knob of butter melted through it.
Canada, Burlington. Small OJ, big coffee. Some plain cereal like rice crisps with half a banana, oat milk. If there’s been a good sale maybe throw in a few blueberries or strawberries.
Is it better or worse than a timeline of Mark Ruffalos? 😂
Well, it started from a conversation with @TheBreadmonkey about where it seems most people are from whom we engage with. And then I was going to do a poll, but I didn’t know which countries to include (all of them???) and I felt lazy. And then I thought, “Just asking people where they’re from is kind of boring. Maybe I’ll ask about breakfast too.” I am fascinated by how different all of our breakfasts can be.
I probably should have hashtagged this so people could mute the hashtag.
I never know who's collecting the data. I mean, other than the person who's asking. Mastodon isn't a walled garden (thank goodness), but I presume that means that anyone could be scraping the feed!
I'm from a place filled with "Practical Magic" and "Twilight." Just a hike from "Dante's Peak." I enjoy a large "southwestern" or "Santa Fe style" breakfast burrito.
My favorite breakfast is a very-well toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, red onion, and capers. Also, copious amounts of coffee or tea light and sweet.
Southern Finland, my breakfast is usually a couple pieces of oat bread and rye bread with veggies and plant based ”cheese” and a mug or two strong dark roast coffee.
@lrt_writes I had to look that one up because I’ve never heard of air pudding 😄 if it is what I would call ”vispipuuro” or whipped porridge, then no, it’s not generally considered a breakfast item where I live. It can be a lunch item or even a dessert.
@quester I worked with a Finnish woman. The recipe she gave me was cream of wheat (farina), sugar, and lingonberry juice - whipped into a mousse-like consistency. Delicious!
@lrt_writes It is very good, I usually prefer to make it with raspberries, because lingonberries are a bit too sour for my taste and I end up not being able to eat all of it 😅
@lrt_writes I mean some people might have it for breakfast but for me personally it’s too sweet to have for breakfast. I remember we had it sometimes at school for lunch, though.
@AncTreat5358 I try to avoid wheat bread, so I go for oat. Rye is also a favorite, especially if it’s a very dark rye bread. We have lots of different kinds here.
Toasted slices of tefftan (seitan made with teff) on a slice of toasted potato bread, garnished with tahini and homemade melon skin relish (or if none on hand, beet sauerkraut).
Lexington, Kentucky, US. French toast with a berry compote, two eggs fried over medium, fried tomatoes, freshly roasted coffee, fresh juice, and a glass of ice water, extra ice.
@Saltssaltgirl I like some Life cereal covered in the blood of my enemies in a skull bowl. Sometimes I’ll have eggs sprinkled with tears of despair and rabbit’s foot powder.
I feel quite boring compared to a lot of people. I’m still shocked how many people only have coffee for breakfast.

@zenbeater I don’t know if it’s my favorite but I eat scrambled eggs and toast quite often. I honestly like cereal a lot - a big bowl of Life Cereal and almond milk. But it’s so much sugar and I know I don’t feel as good later on. But if we’re talking unhealthy breakfasts, chocolate chip waffles and bananas is another good one. When I was a kid I had a friend’s mom that would always make us these egg pitas. I loved them but I don’t know what she put in them.
little forest in switzerland. basically in the middle of nowhere. my FAVORITE breakfast is sushi but i dont get that often. mostly its just whatever i have in the fridge. and maybe some coffee and xeta
Dallas, Texas region, USA. Eggs easy over in canola oil, *smothered* with black pepper, on whole grain toast. Black coffee is a must, but usually had while preparing the food.
It's a great way to get full when you're diabetic and broke AF.
If I'm extra hungry, I'll have them on corn tortillas with cheese and chili-spiced beans (chili powder, cumin, cayenne, black pepper). Runny egg yolk and those spices...such amazing flavor!
I’m from Tennessee USA and my favorite breakfast is … roasted grapefruit with a little brown sugar and oysters wrapped in bacon. It’s our New Years treat!
@dropbear Broiled grapefruit: Cut a grapefruit in half and cut all the little wedges, just like you were going to eat it raw with a spoon. Then sprinkle the top with a tsp of brown sugar. Top with a matching cherry. Broil in the oven until it’s warmed through and the top is just a little bit browned
This is the way we welcome in the New Year. So delish!
Breakfast. First choice, my home baked blueberry raisin pecan oat bran muffins, yogurt and a pear. Second, cold, leftover Pagliacci PSR pizza, with hot peppers. Third choice, Latvian pīrāgi.
My 'usual breakfast' is muesli with fruit and yoghurt, but my 'favourite breakfast' is fried lamb's kidneys on toast. (Australia) But a very close second is a full Lebanese breakfast spread.
Tea (Russian caravan) with sugar and half-and-half. Two slices sourdough toast, one with marmite and butter, one with just butter, with an over-easy (runny yolk) fried egg on top.
Norway. For workdays, coffee is my breakfast, lunch and in-between snack most days. I might devour an egg if I feel like it.
On weekends - mostly because it's socially expected that I eat something for breakfast - some bread with cheese, ham, eggs and stuff like that, a glass of milk, OJ and coffee. Sometimes muesli.
@sister_ratched Usually cereal; granola or porridge, with nuts, seeds, fruit. Occasionally home-made buckwheat mini pancakes with berries. If invited out for breakfast with family, I go for French toast with maple syrup, fruit. 🥣 #Australia.
I am in Adelaide, South Australia. I begin the day with 2 strong cups of English Breakfast tea. Other than that my breakfast varies a lot, but most often involves eggs - fried, scrambled or a 2-egg omelette with herbs.
My favourite breakfasts:
Crumpets with vegemite and melted cheese Porridge (in winter) Yoghurt and berries (in Summer) Chia pudding with berries and yoghurt Smashed avocado on toast, often layered with tomato, radish, hard boiled egg etc. Kitchari Dosa or Idli with sambar Congee A perfect omelette Leftovers.
Tooting from the UK and my ultimate breakfast is Weetabix Minis Chocolate. I could eat the whole box every day. It says it does 12 servings but it's usually about 5 because I have no chill. This is accompanied by a cup of Yorkshire Caramelised Biscuit Tea in the biggest mug I can find. ☕
Colorado front range, USA Barbara’s Oat Crunch cereal w/ sliced banana & raisins or blueberries, and milk, cup of coffee. I’ve had this every day for the past 15 years or so. Alas, the cereal (and maybe the brand) has been discontinued and I have only 2 boxes left. 😱🤷🏽
I'm from Brisbane, Australia and my *favourite* breakfast would be Eggs Benedict but I'm too lazy to make hollandaise often. My everyday breakfast is scrambled eggs with grated parmesan and chili. Plus the essential espresso coffees.
Tooting from the coastal village Schoorl in the Netherlands. Fav breakfast is pancakes, but i never eat it. I also like soup in the morning, almost never eat it in the morning though. Mostly i eat healthy fibre crackers with some (vegan of dairy) cheese and something fruity. With soy milk or tea.
Willamette Valley, Oregon. Really good black coffee ☕. Fruit, cottage cheese & protein smoothie made with fresh ginger, turmeric, some kind of citrus (lime, orange, lemon), & frozen fruit.
Not a morning person, so pre-made overnight oats with yogurt & fruit. Tea or cheap-ass mocha-like drink. If we go out, loaded omelette and hashbrowns with strong sweet coffee. Except at one diner that puts something magical in their fluffy pancakes.
Loving the variety in these replies! Had to go make another cuppa tea.

In terms of breakfast, there’s a variety I get with my #LiteNEasy calorie controlled meals…but when I’m off the diet I guess my favourite would be omelettes, especially if I’m in a hotel that has them prepared on demand as part of a buffet.
Breakfast is pretty much the same as every other meal: a dozen grams of dead tree. Maple, oak, and basswood are my favorites, but I can choke down anything, no matter how resinous, provided I can complain enough about it.
I'm near Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest. Shacked up in a scummy city known as Hillsboro. I uh... don't have a favorite breakfast. Sometimes different things seem awful. This morning I had a tuna salad on wheat bread thingy. Tomorrow I'm hoping for oatmeal with some cranberries I scrounged up.
Oh yeah the Mexican food and the farmers market are great! Lots of good people here! But they're not the city, sadly. The mayor and his/her cronies shipped in from Texas are the only ones who get to be the "City of Hillsboro." Just go up Brookwood sometime to highway 26, you'll see the ugly side of this place. All that wasn't there 10 years ago.
I'd like at least something more like the Beaverton system, where the city council get to do something other than sit there and look pretty. But I'll even accept our current dictator mayor situation if it stops all these data centers from going up, tax-free on our dime. If you can't tell from the dripping sarcasm in my voice, the polar opposite of that is true.
Denmark, rather far north, not too far from Thisted. My favorite breakfast: overnite oats with cinnamon, orange peel, kurkuma, salt, pepper, lots of nuts and fruit. The recipe's called: First French Kiss of the Day.
France. Deep in the Normandy countryside. Favourite breakfast - freshly squeezed orange juice and La Vie vegan bacon sandwiches with spinach and vegan mayo. And black coffee.
Worcester, UK. Always the same if I can get it. Natural Greek yoghurt over berries/fruit with chia seeds and flaxseed. Failing that, a croissant! Followed by a filter coffee with cream! 😁
Tooting from the US (#RedwoodCity, CA). And pancakes. Not a stereotypical American in some respects, but when it comes to breakfast, pretty much. But first coffee.
Southern California desert. Oatmeal w sliced amonds, cinnamon, ginger, and blueberries; or dinner leftovers; or over-hard egg on toast sandwich; or sunny egg mixed with ripped up buttered toast; or scrambled eggs, pancake, tots; or that with bacon or sausage; or breakfast burrito; or muesli and yogurt, bread, charcuterie, and cheese; or eggs benedict; or grits, cream of wheat, or corn meal mush, savory or sweet; with diet coke or tea or coffee. I guess I’m agnostic about breakfast!
Alabama, USA. Favorite breakfast: French toast, bacon, coffee. But I also absolutely adore a Waffle House All-Star Breakfast with Bacon well, hash browns scattered, covered, and chunked, eggs over medium, and a regular waffle, a bit brown. Coffee to drink (here I demonstrate a coffee the size of a pony).
this is a fun thread! We're in California and often have steel cut oats or scrambled eggs, but were introduced to Kavari (sp) in Sweden. It's high protein greek yogurt and cottage cheese with fresh fruit, cinnamon and a dash of salt, with granola on top and a bit of maple syrup. It's quick to make, keeps ya full for a good amt of time, and the kid loves it.
I am amazed by all the folks who whip up something wondeful! I am not functioning at that level in the morning, so I bake almond flour scones (figs and nuts) in advance so they're ready to sit next to my coffee....
UsA is where I'm from, start nearly every day with brown rice and tofu, collard greens, pumpkin seeds and an egg smothered in soy sauce, plain yogurt, salsa and nutritional yeast. It's yummy! Oh yeah, big cup of coffee too!
When I'm cooking for myself breakfast is usually eggs and toast, but my brother (who isn't much of a cook) makes excellent pancakes. And it's nice to have someone cook for me.

Portland, OR, USA
My favorite breakfast is a Full _______. Fill in that blank with whatever. English, Scottish, American... I don't care, just give me all of it. And the bigger the better. It should be dangerous in both size and composition. Full disclosure: I can't and don't eat these anymore, but they're still my favorite.
Arnhem, The Netherlands. Mostly over easy eggs on buttered afbak bread fresh out of the oven! Alternatively, creamy scrambled eggs stuffed into the hollow part of a kaascroissant.
Sunny side up eggs, English muffin grilled, with lox.
It's what I had this morning, in fact. The only downside is that I've been sick and haven't been able to make lox this week, so I had to use some truly second-rate store bought.
Vallejo, California (northeast SFBay) So many breakfast decisions, depending upon availability, but lox and cream cheese on a toasted onion bagel with cucumber onion and tomato slices is high on my list Next is cheese blintzes made with farmer’s cheese and topped with sugar, blueberries and sour cream If I’m at a restaurant that serves chicken and waffles or chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy, I’ll choose one of those And black coffee Or else a latte and a chocolate croissant Now I’m hungry
Don't worry ... it's a giant flop. Hey..cafe is so much like high school, it's pathetic. Everyone is in their little groups and don't anyone dare eat lunch with the new kids. 🙄
@OohOkayKay It just sounded like you weren’t enjoying the experience. That’s why I suggested you stay here. But I’m glad you’re getting something out of it!
I'm 50/50 right now but they are actually building on it as they go. Very open to suggestions for special features. They 28,000 people sign up in a 2 day period.
Stellt euch vor, eure Kommune, eure Stadt oder euer Dorf betreibt einen eigenen Friendica-Server – kostenlos für alle Bürger:innen.
✅ Geringer Aufwand, große Wirkung: Ein Server für die ganze Kommune kostet nur wenige Euro im Monat und ist technisch einfach umsetzbar.
✅ Datenschutz statt Datenklau: Keine Werbetracker, keine Algorithmen, die uns spalten. Eure Daten bleiben lokal und sicher – unter europäischer Kontrolle.
✅ Unabhängig von Tech-Konzernen: Kein Facebook, kein Twitter, kein Mastodon-Monopol. Friendica ist dezentral und offen – wie E-Mail, nur sozialer.
✅ Lokale Vernetzung: Nachbarschaftsgruppen, Vereinskommunikation, Bürgerbeteiligung – alles auf einer Plattform, die euch gehört.
✅ Trotzdem global vernetzt: Euer Account (z.B. max@muenster.friendica.net) kann problemlos mit Accounts wie lisa@berlin.friendica.net oder sogar mit Mastodon-Nutzern kommunizieren – ohne Silos, ohne Grenzen!
Wie bringt man das ins Rollen?

Wie bringt man das ins Rollen?
--> Verantwortlichen direkt kontaktieren!
--> Bürgermeister:innen, Stadträte, Gemeindeverwaltungen, lokale Parteien anschreiben: „Warum betreibt unsere Kommune keinen eigenen Friendica-Server für Bürger:innen? Das wäre ein starkes Zeichen für Datenschutz, digitale Souveränität und lokale Vernetzung – und es ist günstig umsetzbar! [....]“
Viele Menschen möchten weg von den großen Plattformen – aber scheuen den Schritt, weil Mastodon, Friendica & Co. mit ihren vielen Einzel-Servern oft zu kompliziert wirken. Genau hier können Kommunen die Lösung sein.
Ein offizieller, lokaler Friendica-Server der Stadt oder Gemeinde schafft Vertrauen, senkt die Hürden und gibt allen Bürger:innen eine einfache, sichere Alternative – ohne Tech-Stress, ohne Datenklau.
Ein neues Netzwerk wächst nur, wenn es schnell und von vielen Orten aus gepusht wird. Darum steht dieser Post hier – damit die Idee nicht nur diskutiert, sondern verbreitet, weitergeleitet und schließlich umgesetzt wird.
Jeder geteilte Post, jede Nachricht an Verwaltungen oder Parteien ist ein Beitrag.
Die Antwort meiner Kommune war, man habe sich mit anderen Kommunen darüber beraten und hat festgestellt, dass die genannten Plattformen hier in der Region nicht so verbreitet sind. 🙄 Auch die Einladung zu einer di.day Veranstaltung, um mal alles anzugucken/auszuprobieren wurde nicht angenommen.
@Andresimous Wenn man etwas neues startet, liegt es in der natur der Dinge, dass die noch nicht verbreitet sind. Gerade jetzt argumentieren menschen, die von den US-plattformen wegwollen, damit, dass die Alternativen angeblich nicht da seien. Es wird beklagt, dass man die kontrolle ueber die sozialen netzwerke verloren habe. Kommune-eigene friendicaserver wuerden beide Probleme beheben. Wenn jeder darauf wartet, dass andere anfangen , wird das nichts. Starten und alle im kaff einladen 😉

In dieser Folge von Fun Facts mit Karoline Herfurth sprechen wir über den weltweiten Frauenstreik und die Frage, was passieren würde, wenn Frauen ihre Arbeit einfach niederlegen würden. Ein Blick in die Geschichte zeigt, wie mächtig ein solcher Streik sein kann. 1975 legten in Island rund 90 Prozent der Frauen ihre Arbeit nieder, inklusive der unbezahlten Care Arbeit. Der Tag zeigte, wie stark Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft auf die Arbeit von Frauen angewiesen sind.
Außerdem geht es um den Gender Pay Gap, unbezahlte Care Arbeit und politische Debatten über sogenannte Lifestyle Teilzeit. Wir schauen auch auf aktuelle Politik in Deutschland, unter anderem auf Cem Özdemir, Jens Spahn und die Folgen der Wahl in Baden Württemberg.
Zum Schluss sprechen wir über Kommunalpolitik, fehlendes Geld in Städten und Gemeinden und über den aktuellen Oxfam Bericht zur Vermögensungleichheit. Dabei stellen wir die Frage, ob eine Vermögensteuer helfen könnte, Kommunen besser zu finanzieren.

A break with symbolism: For fear of sanctions, the International Criminal Court is replacing US technology with a package from Germany – and could thus be at the beginning of a trend. (Christof Kerkmann,10/30/2025 - 04:06)
Düsseldorf. It is a decision with political explosiveness: out of fear of reprisals by US President Donald Trump, the International Criminal Court (ICC) plans to make itself independent of technologies from the USA. According to Handelsblatt information, the international institution in The Hague, the Netherlands, is replacing Microsoft's workplace software through the German Open Desk solution.
The program package that Microsoft is to replace comes from the Center for Digital Sovereignty (Zendis), a federal company. Its mission is to strengthen the digital independence of public administration by resolving “critical dependencies on individual technology providers”. Open Desk as a program package with components from eight European software manufacturers is a central element.

With proven open source components, the federal government-funded suite openDesk guides management out of Microsoft dependency.
Financed by the Federal Government, it has been in operation since October 2024. OpenDesk promises open source applications for digital collaboration under a unified interface. This includes word processing, spreadsheet, chat and video conferencing tools, cloud storage, a project management module, a wiki, and email, contact, and calendar features.
With the project, the federal government wants to reduce the dependence of the German authorities on US providers such as Microsoft.
- Enterprise version with self-hosting and SaaS
The individual components of the Office and Collaboration Suite are open source components of Collabora, Element, Nextcloud, Nordeck, Open-Xchange, Univention, Open Project and XWiki. In addition to the community edition of openDesk, version 1.0 is also an enterprise edition with two professional operating models: as a package for operation in your own data center (self-hosting) and as a software-as-a-service

The IT service provider B1 Systems is to take care of the support of the self-hosting variant, the SaaS version comes from the German cloud provider StackIT. Last month, both companies were awarded the contract by ZenDis, which is behind Opendesk ("Centre for Digital Sovereignty of Public Administration").
- A confident workplace instead of Microsoft
OpenDesk is based on an initiative by the government of the Federal Republic of Germany and nine federal states. They joined forces in November 2021 to reduce the public sector's dependence on US software under the then project name "Sovereign Workplace". ZenDiS, founded in 2022, coordinates the development of openDesk as a public GmbH on behalf of the Federal Government. The Federal Government intends to provide ZenDiS with around 10 million euros for the further development of the suite in the current year. In previous years, the federal government has already invested around 35 million euros in the development of openDesk. The Microsoft 365 alternative also competes with the technically closely related Phoenix suite of the public North German IT service provider Dataport, which, however, is not completely open source and is currently only available as a software-as-a-service.

Edubuntu is a popular open source educational operating system based on Ubuntu Linux. It is primarily aimed at students and teachers and aims to be the “Linux distribution in the classroom” with a solid Ubuntu base. The new version of Edubuntu includes exciting new features and updates that make it even more valuable for educators and students. This article explains the best new features of Edubuntu.
* Changes to the user interface with modern GNOME
However, the new interface is designed to provide a better user experience and make navigation in the system more accessible to students and teachers.
* Accessibility and settings update
GNOME desktop, by default, is much more improved on the Accessibility front with many settings. In GNOME 44, the entire accessibility settings page is revamped. It is now based on a friendly name instead of a generic list of controls. Edubuntu 23.04 definitely going to provide a good experience with GNOME 44 for students having special needs.
Furthermore, the output and input section on the sound page in settings is shuffled for better clarity.
* Education specific applications
The most critical aspect of this distro is the applications specific to education. The default set of applications in Edubuntu 23.04 is well packaged, considering all types of students and their grade levels. For generic office work, LibreOffice 7.5 is included. Browsing the web is easier with secure Firefox (snap).
Students who need art-related applications can take advantage of the below set of default apps: - GIMP raster drawing program - Drawing – simple image editor (similar to MS Paint) - Tux Paint – drawing program for beginners - LibreCAD – Free and open-source computer-aided design app - Inkscape – Vector drawing program
A well set of language and learning tools to help all students across grades. Here’s a list: - Endeavor – GTK-based to-do manager - Gobby – an excellent tool for collaborative document editing over a network - Ulcc – teach children through pictures. - Khangman and KWordquiz – to learn and teach new words - PDFMod – PDF editor -Calibre – e-book management
Furthermore, a few important apps which are specialised and are perfect for specific subjects learning are also included. - Gramps – genealogical research application - KGeography – to learn world map - Fritzing – electronic circuit designer and simulator
A huge collection of science and math applications are already installed by default. - Atomix – Puzzle game about atoms and molecules - Chemtool – design chemical diagrams - Kalzium – Learn periodic table - Light speed – An OpenGL-based program developed to illustrate the effects of special relativity on the appearance of moving objects - Rocs – Graph theory simulator - Stellarium – free and open-source planetarium software - Step – Interactive physics simulator - Dia – diagramming application - Kalgebra – learn algebra interactively
In addition, GNOME Extensions manager is pre-installed in Edubuntu for easy installation for extensions, taking the effort away from educators.
* Application controls for students
Since many applications and packages are installed, it’s necessary to have control in place to restrict certain apps for specific users. Edubuntu has a built-in menu editor. Using this utility, you can hide certain apps from the menu that are non-admin users.
* Hardware support and core changes
At the core, Edubuntu 23.04 is powered by the latest Linux Kernel 6.2. This brings all modern hardware, CPU, CPU, ports and file system support. Python 3.11 is included as part of the Ubuntu base to help students to learn this popular programming language.
* Closing Notes
Edubuntu 23.04 is an excellent distro for educational purposes, and the new features and improvements in this release make it even more valuable for students and teachers. From improved user interface to better language support, Edubuntu 23.04 has something for everyone. Its enhanced collaboration tools, multimedia support, and science/math apps are perfect for classrooms.
Terrifying Facts: 80% of native wild bees nest in dead plant stems. A single stem can harbor up to 20 pollinator larvae. Cutting back too early destroys six months of bee development. Wild bees do pollination work worth €2000 per garden.
What really lives in your "messy" garden: Hidden Dwellers: - Mason Bee Cocoons - Leaf Cutter Bee Nests - Native wasp larvae - Eggs of useful predatory insects - Important areas that should be protected: - Hollow plant stems - Leaf pile - Standing perennials - Conjunctions
How you can help: * Wait until May to clean the garden. * Let the stems stand at least 40 cm high. * Create piles of rice. * Mark areas as pollinator zones. Your action plan: * Stop all clean-up work until the temperatures are constantly above 10°C. * Bundle cut stems and store them securely. * Set up "pollinator corners" in the garden. * Educate neighbors about the importance of protection.
Natural gardens save bees – everyone can contribute!
