Europe needs digital sovereignty, and Open Source is the most direct path to it. But it requires more contribution-based procurement. More public money must flow upstream to Open Source maintainers, not just to integrators and resellers.

Funding Open Source for Digital Sovereignty

Open Source alone won't deliver digital sovereignty. Europe must fix procurement and fund those who actually build it.

In this moment of extreme frustration with AI. Of creators feeling helpless. Of this perpetual use of LLMs to make things "sound better" as they normalize the written word to mundane, soul-less baselines.

In this moment, @WeirdWriter spoke, spoke truth, and gave words to my fears and frustrations. And offers a hopeful glimpse of what might be -- because it has been for him, this is non-fiction.

It's not a short read; it's a GREAT read.

A fabulously gay blind author.

I've been busy working on a large number of performance improvements in Drupal 11.3 and contributed projects, together with @catch56 and many others.

Everything combined, we're seeing hundreds of queries less on complex pages. On one specific example page that we measured in a cold cache scenario, that's a reduction of 670 queries, 62% of the total queries. And that doesn't even include similarly reduced cache lookups and writes.

Read more on our blog post.
