The number of NoKings events across the US this Saturday March 28th is absolutely staggering!

Bring your friends, some snacks, grab a coffee, and defend democracy at an event near you! It's kind of like tailgating before a football game - if that is something you like to do.

I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

Germany has made ODF mandatory as the standard format for documents within its sovereign digital infrastructure. The decision is incorporated into the Deutschland-Stack, the framework governing the development, procurement and management of digital systems for public administration at all levels. This is neither a pilot project nor a recommendation from a working group, but a mandate backed by the federal government and the coalition agreement. https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/23/dear-europe/

Germany has made ODF mandatory as the standard format for documents within its sovereign digital infrastructure. The decision is incorporated into the Deutschland-Stack, the framework governing the development, procurement and management of digital systems for public administration at all levels. This is neither a pilot project nor a recommendation from a working group, but a mandate backed by the federal government and the coalition agreement. The official document has been published by the IT-Planungsrat, the central political steering body comprising the federal government and state governments, which promotes and develops common, user-oriented IT solutions for efficient and secure digital administration in Germany: https://www.it-planungsrat.de/beschluss/b-2026-03-it. At this point, the question for all other European governments is clear: what are you waiting for?

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

If I had a storefront pizza place, I'd offer a range of fridge-cold pizza slices on the menu.

It's a whole different food item. I wouldn't say I liked pizza cold more than hot nor vice-versa – they're just different things, both tasty.

I can't be the only one who likes a cold slice sometimes. Untapped market people! Cha-ching.
