"Germany’s Sovereign Digital Stack Mandates ODF: a Landmark Validation of Open Document Standards."
https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/19/germanys-sovereign-digital-stack-mandates-odf/

"The Document Foundation (#TDF), the non-profit entity behind #LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (#ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations."

Florian Effenberger (@floeff), executive director of TDF: "You cannot claim digital sovereignty while allowing your documents to be locked in proprietary formats controlled by a single vendor."

"And some people say 'These people, they're not even trying to be British. They come here, they bring their own culture, their food, speak their own language, and try to take over the whole bloody place.'

Dunno. Sounds pretty British to me."

The other day I was carjacked by an elderly woman in her 80s with a gun ...

It was Gran Theft Auto

Jag är oerhört tacksam över att ha blivit tilldelad källkritikspriset Gyllene förstoringsglaset 2026. Stort tack till Internetstiftelsen, Källkritikbyrån och alla er som hjälper mig att göra Sverige lite säkrare för varje vecka som går. Tillsammans gör vi livet surt för bedragarna på nätet.

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

Bad news 😔💔

I am sad to announce today that unfortunately I will not be working with Privacy Guides anymore after the end of this month.

Good news! 🚨

I will be available for a new position or contract, starting in April!

I am looking for a position or contact for:

✊ Digital rights activist (with a specialty in privacy rights)

🔒 Privacy expert or consultant

Fediverse and Mastodon advocate

🙌 Managerial position

📰 Tech journalist

💻 Technical writer

💚 Or any other fitting positions

I am especially interested in working with nonprofit organisations, cooperatives, open-source projects, privacy-oriented software companies, or any other organisations working for the public good.

🇨🇦 Remote from Canada

All the work I produce is guaranteed to be AI-free

Let me know if you hear of any good opportunities!

Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse https://matduggan.com/boy-i-was-wrong-about-the-fediverse/

Förtroendet för Nato har sjunkit. Bra. För min del har det varit noll hela tiden. Man kan argumentera för att med NATO-medlemskapet har Sverige blivit otryggare. Men viktigare: att det svenska Natomedlemskapet berövade världen ett alliansfritt land.

We're going to be adopting the mass surveillance shit too. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/social-media-ban-for-kids-under-consideration-in-online-harms-bill-carney/ #Canada

Pro tip: if your company advertises "private and secure" services *and* you maintain detailed records of your customers' identities, You're Doing It Wrong.

Looking forward to work with #modemmanager upstream on improving dual SIM support in our #LinuxMobile stack: https://nlnet.nl/project/Linux-MultiSIM/ .

Thanks a lot to @NGIZero for supporting this!

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/116160637051672728

the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”

but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”

and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.
