Mostly following for webcomics and tech / programming stuff. Pluralistic is pretty good, too.

I learnt that as well. Understand now why people go work out of cafes. It does help.

Open Letter to European Citizens
The door to digital sovereignty is open, please come in
We ask European citizens, and through them those who govern European countries, to understand one important thing: the door to digital sovereignty does not open simply by choosing different software, but by understanding what sovereignty actually entails.
It requires open document formats, open fonts, continuity of expertise, and honesty about what "open" means.

I was thinking of a horror movie pitch:

"Saint Patrick'ssss Day: Return of the Snakes"

Snakes attack a small Irish town, where a young, plucky American college student (direct descendent of Patrick) is on holiday.

Queue much hissing and slithering and horror tropes.

If St Patrick sees his shadow today, it's 6 more weeks of snakes 🍀
