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.

Spain Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez: "Trump is someone who will set the world on fire and then blame smoke caused by that. He has been wrong for 18 days of war. I urge everyone to call him out"

The US Border Patrol abandoned a man from SE Asia in the middle of a blizzard. He was blind. He was not near his home. They called nobody and told nobody.

If I discharged a blind person into a blizzard from my ER, I’d lose my license, my house, and my job.

Fuck these nazi goons.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

13,335 millionaires in France paid ZERO income tax in 2024.

The system is broken.

It’s time for a UN Tax Convention to make the super-rich pay their fair share and fund climate action. #TaxTheSuperRich

Dear people of the #USA, if the British manage to arrest the King's brother (on his birthday, no less) because of his close relation to #Epstein it may be a good time to apply even more pressure on your own administration, such as it is.

The British Museum has removed the word #Palestine from displays about the ancient Middle East following complaints.

Maps and information boards about ancient Egypt and the seafaring Phoenicians labelled the eastern coast of the Mediterranean as Palestine, and some peoples were described as being β€œof Palestinian descent”

And so the British Museum has decided to remove that word.

Who do you think made those complaints?

The word "squirrel" comes from the Greek word skiouros, combining skia (shadow) and oura (tail). The #Squirrel of the Day for February 15, 2026 demonstrates #squirrels

I’m late to the game but allow me to post this photo of my cat.
