How awesome to see the Tech Sovereignity plan grow!
How about taking some first leap and actually promote it on your official channel (too)?
Hardy ErlingerThe #fediverse is part of The EU Open Source Strategy outlined in [1]:
From the document:
"Support uptake of open source alternatives to proprietary solutions together with Member States and the Digital Commons EDIC — cloud, workplace tools, secure e-mail, decentralised social media."
I like that it explicitly says "decentralised social media". They are not simply calling for European alternatives to centralised social media services, but demanding theses be decentralised as well. Very nice.

Regis@maximilianhenning @euractiv Well, I guess every journey starts with a first step...
Anything that may help the MEPs swe for themselves that digital #sovereignity actually works, may encourage them to go further with sovereign cloud and tools.
Qwant is a good start but let's hope they will not stop at this.

CambionnI noticed today that #MSOffice Online now has an option to save files as #odt instead of #pttx. It made me wonder, can we change our files at work to open formats and still have the MS using colleagues use them properly? That would be a great step 
!
Sadly, it seems not. Saving in MS Office breaks a lot of design in the files. Opening the pttx in @libreoffice works perfectly fine. Saving from there as odt does as well. But then MS Office considers the working odt file "corrupt", disallowing online view.
Seems like MS Office their implementation of open document standards are still lacking, so for anything requiring collaboration with MS Office users we're still stuck in proprietary formats. Sad

Well it was time, my trusted old iPhone mini (last gen.) is giving up on life, and I've been curious about Jolla + Sailfish OS for quite a while!
Best news of #today, and probably of the recent period. Our government is blocking the sale of the hoster of #DigiD after all!
All our fighting to keep the data of milions of #Dutch citizen outside of foreign hands has paid of. Time to party 🥳🎉🎉🎉 .

Rastal@PoliticalCartoon The guy on the left, is the only person on earth, who can do this and pull it off. The only person capable of saying No to Trump/US and their country emerges stronger for saying No.
Any other leader, anywhere on earth, cannot say No to America. They aren't leaders, they are puppets of US.
However you feel about Khamenei, seeing someone say No to America, and having their country emerge stronger for it, is beautiful.
ㄱㅇㄴA Statement on the Senate Betrayal and the Systematic Persecution of the True Lingkodbayans
The events that unfolded within the halls of the Senate on May 11, 2026 (Monday) represent a dark day for Philippine democracy and a profound betrayal of institutional trust. We witnessed a shocking spectacle where the very sanctuary of our lawmakers was breached under the negligent watch of former Senate President Tito Sotto. It is deeply alarming that the leader of the chamber allowed outside elements to orchestrate an ambush against a sitting member of the Senate. Senator Bato dela Rosa, a […]
