Today I had coffee with an aerospace engineering postdoc who happened to be in Regina briefly. He works on technology for refueling and fixing satellites in orbit, which is EXACTLY the kind of engineering we need! Don't chuck that 3 or 5 year old satellite into the atmosphere, FIX it and make it keep working longer!

Really delightful chat, and the best part is this connection actually happened because of the cow-culation April Fool's day paper I helped write: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.29324

There is no digital sovereignty without ODF

Any other choice is a choice of dependence on a single vendor

Digital sovereignty begins with the document format. Everything else – server location, hosting jurisdiction, procurement clauses – is downstream of this single decision. If the format is standard and open, the user controls the document. If the format is proprietary the vendor controls it, even when the file sits on the user’s own hard drive.

There is no digital sovereignty without ODF - TDF Community Blog

Any other choice is a choice of dependence on a single vendor Digital sovereignty begins with the document format. Everything else – server location, hosting jurisdiction, procurement clauses – is downstream of this single decision. If the format is standard and open, the user controls the document. If the format is proprietary the vendor controls it, even when the file sits on the user’s own hard drive. This is why LibreOffice, and its derivatives such as Collabora Office and Online, are today the only legitimate choice for governments, supranational bodies, businesses and organisations that want to protect the digital freedom of their users. Only software based on the LibreOffice source code – the LibreOffice Technology – uses ODF as its native document format. Every document saved, stored, retained and exchanged in ODF remains the exclusive property of its author, and remains so over the years. ODF – Open Document Format, as the name says – was designed and developed in accordance with the characteristics of a true open standard: clearly documented, transparently developed by an independent body, properly versioned, built on existing standards, and stored in XML files that any user can read. None of this applies to OOXML. The

From what I heard, the founder/ceo stepped down... and almost immediately they removed some of the promises from their marketing.

Stuff like 'Always Free' and 'Inclusion' being the two being most talked about.

Enshitification incoming... service about to cost a lot more for a lot less.

@siracusa Ahhh snark. From the person who claimed I drew my conclusions form one blog post. Awesome.

Yes. Claiming an inherent, systemic problem in a software feature from your personal experience and anecdotes which we can't invesigate is insufficient. Especially when you openly admit you don't know the reasons.

While we're here, please accept my claims of Hyperspace being broken as accurate.

We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥

Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:

Federated comments embeddable on any web page.

Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.

New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.

#CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...
Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.

Today in Labor History May 15, 1969: Police fought students in the Battle for People's Park at the University of California Berkeley, California. The battle was over a small strip of land that the students had claimed as community commons. Governor Ronald Reagan sent in National Guards to reclaim the Park. Police gunfire killed a bystander, James Rector, and wounded 60 others, including Alan Blanchard, who was blinded for life. Street fighting continued for 17 days. Another 150 demonstrators would be shot and wounded. The battle for the park has continued ever since, with the university continuing to claim ownership and threatening to turn the park into everything from units of student housing to a parking lot. The defenders of the park have done numerous direct actions over the past 55 years to defend the park, provide mutual aid, provide free food and clothes to unhoused folks, and offer community classes. In 1992, cops shot and killed Park Defender Rosebud Denovo, after she broke into the basement of the residence of UC Berkeley Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. As recently as 2024, the cops have attacked, beaten, and/or arrested park defenders. Also in that year, the California Supreme Court sided with the University and its plans to build student housing on the park. In 2025, the university announced that the new housing would be named after Disability Rights activist Judy Heumann.

@farah@beige.party removed the 'always free' from their marketing, as well as their statements of inclusion (e.g the usual "Anti-DEI" bullshit)

@zeichenreihe I'm glad you're finding it useful! I'd be interested in PRs. If there's a hole in the API, also feel welcome to open an issue and we can have a conversation about it!
