It's great that Meta and Google have kindly directed me to look elsewhere for their replacements.
I had said goodbye to Microsoft and welcome to Linux around Windows 8, but today's turbulent world has made me rethink everything.
The first thing to go was Gmail - hello, Tuta!
Then Chrome - Hello, Vivaldi! Hello, Proton VPN!

How Jordan Gloor (Senior Editor at How-To-Geek and technology blogger) used AppImages to create A Portable, Linux based, Open Source, Swiss Army Knife.

It reminds me of the old "portableApps.com" approach, but Linux based.

#Portableapps sollte mal über einen Premium-Download-Zugang nachdenken (7 kB/s...) - take my money!

Leichtgewichtige Option beim Arbeiten mit Datenbanken im Unterricht: #heidisql
Die Windows-Variante lässt sich auch prima in #portableApps einklinken, sollte unter diesem OS gearbeitet werden müssen.

@ginaintheburg Are you shure you don't conflate @torproject / #TorBrowser with @tails_live / @tails / #Tails, which is a #Linux #distro with #Tor & Tor #Browser setup and ready to use.

• OFC there had been some "#PortableApps" / #portable #TorBrowser installations.that can be put.on a #flashdrive, but usually that's not how the stanalone Tor Browser is being used.

Confusingly Tails has been absorbed by the #TorProject but that's a different story...

• That being said for the few #Websites that explicitly.choose to #BlockTor #Firefox is still the way to go.

As for #Accessibility, maybe the combination of a #HeadMountedDisplay & wireless Keyboard + Mouse combo offers you the desired flexibility...

• Not to mention Tor Browser is available on #Android via @fdroidorg and #GooglePlay as well as directly from Tor Project as a Download...

#PortableApps im Unternehmen verbieten, weil #OpenSource, #Security, wissenschon - aber stattdessen #Ivanti einsetzen. Okay, das hat eine kritische Sicherheitslücke nach der anderen, aber wenigstens ist es nicht Open Source. Puh.

Gefahr erkannt, Gefahr gebannt. 👍

@libreoffice Today, non-portable versions went to 24.8.0 for the newest stable and 24.2.6 for the previous stable branch (EOL november). Portable is still stuck at 24.2.3 for the "newest stable" version. Not so far in the past, it is only 4 month late, but I can find no sign of a future update. Maybe I am bad at searching this, maybe you know something helpful?

Portable versions of LibreOffice , does anyone here know what is happening with those? @libreoffice? It seems like it's been months without one to download on LibreOffice's site. The page is still there, but there are no direct links, only placeholder text.

On PortableApp , "Fresh" is 24.2.3, lagging behind the non-portable "Still" which is today 24.2.5. (Portable "Still" is 7.6.7.)

Will a up-to-date portable LO come back soon?

Boosting is helping 🥰

I also want to sync my entire #Firefox profile between computers, including one on #PortableApps for Windows, without a Mozilla sync account. I've pretty much given up, and sync only bookmarks using the @floccus plugin.

I keep about five different profiles for working with different organizations. I'd like to sync each profile independently of the others. For my personal stuff Floccus syncs to my @nextcloud server, for orgs that use Google Workspace it syncs to a file in Google Drive.

@libreoffice, at https://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable-versions/ you suggest downloading “LibreOffice 24.2.3 Portable MultilingualStandard”, but when I try to do this I get a notification about an untrusted secure connection certificate on the rbc.ru website : "Secure Site Not Available. You've enabled HTTPS-Only Mode for enhanced security, and a HTTPS version of libreoffice-mirror.rbc.ru is not available." You should be more careful when choosing partners from Russia.

Leider viel zu schnell zuende: zwei Tage Programmieren lernen mit Mikrocontrollern an der lokalen Medienanstalt mit netten, aufgeweckten Leuten und (fast) nur freier Software. Im Tohuwabohu habe ich ganz vergessen, mal Fotos zu machen.
