The Internet Society at WSIS HLE 2025 in Switzerland

The WSIS High-Level Event (HLE) is a global meeting co-organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and other UN agencies to review progress on the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) action lines. It serves as a platform for governments, civil society, the private sector, and international organizations to assess the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) development and their impact on achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering people-centered, inclusive, and development-oriented information and knowledge societies.

Dump Microsoft Windows 11 now and supercharge your PC with 4MLinux 46.0

If you're still using Microsoft Windows 11, it might be time to consider a switch. The newly released 4MLinux 46.0 (download here) offers a lightweight and powerful alternative that can make your computing experience smoother and more efficient.

Switching from Windows 11 to 4MLinux can be a great idea for several reasons. First, 4MLinux is known for being much lighter on system resources compared to Windows 11. This means you can get more performance out of older hardware, and even on newer machines, the system feels snappy and responsive without the usual bloat. This efficiency leads to faster boot times, quicker application launches, and an overall more responsive computing experience.

In addition to performance, 4MLinux comes preloaded with a comprehensive suite of applications that cover all your essential needs. For productivity, it includes LibreOffice 24.8.0.3 and GNOME Office, featuring AbiWord 3.0.5 for word processing, GIMP 2.10.38 for image editing, and Gnumeric 1.12.57 for spreadsheets. If you're concerned about internet browsing, Firefox 124.0 and Chrome 128.0.6613.84 are ready to keep you connected and secure. Email management is handled by Thunderbird 115.12.2, a reliable and feature-rich email client.
