FOSS NEWS
Yesterday was the Software Freedom Day, organized by Digital Freedom Foundation, there were various smaller events worldwide to promote FOSS, various organizations, companies hosted their own events, including FSF, Earth Cause, Nextcloud, System76 and TUXEDO Computers, but anyone could host their own event:

(Unfortunately it isn't promoted enough, very few people know about it, I also heard about it first 2 days ago, from Brodie Robertson (npub1ns5…ah7f) 's video. It's really sad because it would be really important to deliver the message to average people that they don't need to stick to big tech's crappy services just because education system taught them to do so, there are some great free software projects which respect users much more, don't just treat them as records in a database to be sold.)
Element X and Element Call are now officially available for mobile, based on Matrix 2.0, providing better performance, exciting new features:
