After years relying only on social feeds, I’m going back to reading blogs via RSS on my laptop using NewsFlash on GNOME. 📰
I was honestly surprised to find that some blogs I usually read still don’t provide a feed in 2026. 🙃
If you self host your blog and write about Open Source, Python, Django, Linux or similar topics, please add an RSS/Atom feed. Otherwise people like me simply won’t know when you publish. 💡
Please boost. 🙏

#ODF is the future, OOXML is the past.

Whenever a user, a government, a school or a business chooses the format in which to store and exchange its digital documents, it is not merely making a technical decision, but is placing a bet on the kind of digital infrastructure on which it will depend in the future. In this sense, ODF and OOXML are not two equivalent options on the same shelf, but two radically different solutions: one geared towards a future of openness, interoperability and digital sovereignty, and the other towards a past of defending a vendor’s dominant market position through user lock-in. ODF: designed to be open and transparent Open Document Format was conceived from the outset to be an open standard. It was designed and developed by the community under the auspices of OASIS, and subsequently ratified by ISO, to be implemented by anyone, on any platform, without royalties, without hidden dependencies and without the permission of any single company. These are not trivial technical details, but a statement of political and economic strategy embedded within the format itself. ODF is based on a clean XML schema, easy to read even by non-technical users and reusable. Colour naming follows standard web conventions, and its architecture

Germany's IT Planning Council mandated ODF and PDF/UA as the only approved document formats across all public administration, excluding Microsoft's OOXML entirely. The Deutschland-Stack covers 50+ open standards targeting 2028 implementation, but the resolution lacks enforcement mechanisms. A test case for whether European governments can reduce dependency on proprietary formats at scale.
Germany mandated ODF as the sole document format for all public administration, excluding Microsoft's OOXML. The Deutschland-Stack covers 50+ open standards across seven layers. But the resolution lacks enforcement teeth, and the real test starts in procurement.
