Since the NextCloud Office maintainers have not taken into account the arguments against their decision to use Microsoft OOXML as the default format, I submitted a pull request with code that sets OpenDocument as the default format:

I strongly encourage you to retweet, upvote, and comment on this PR, which will be harder to ignore than a “resolved” issue.

Edit: The maintainer (who is clearly terrible at managing comm) has closed the PR and directed people to the issue, which remains open for votes and comments↴

Who can tell me more about this part (the details):

“Optional emergency mode: An optional open-source-based emergency mode guarantees business continuity and the highest level of resilience.”

If it’s really “#sovereign,” why the need for add-ons, emergencies or an “optional mode”? Isn’t that just like Big Tech today: use it now, and just switch to open source when things go wrong? 🤷🏾

All European tech leaders should read the EuroStack report by the Bertelsmann Foundation: https://www.euro-stack.info/

As oil goes up, metals go down.
Gold is back down to $4.5K, and silver's under $70 again.
For gold, consider British Sovereigns & half sovereigns (also Australian, they made less), Austrian Ducat restrikes; fractional gold you can get pretty much at spot. Plus they're plenty liquid, coin shops will take 'em.
