It's both Valentine's Day and #iLoveFS Day today, so I'll share some of the Free Software applications that I have loved using in the past year: * @npub1du2p...f6r3, @npub12xyx...dtdy and @Debian GNU/Linux; * @KDE Plasma Desktop and a lot of their apps, especially the Kate editor and Kontact suite; * @LibreOffice (Incredibly useful); * @npub13gcd...hkve Firefox (Linux and Android); * @Mastodon and the @Tusky client (Tusky looks good, works well, and is feature-packed but accessible); 🧶1/2

I got a drawing tablet for Christmas so decided to make this fanart (CC BY-SA 4.0 Oliver Geer 2024) on Krita, another piece of KDE software (that you can use on many operating systems, not just Linux). By the way, they're fundraising:
