In my new article "The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition" I discuss the key role of the Fediverse in this political and cultural climate... and argue that digital sovereignty and the ability to self-host are now more important than ever:

Plus I had a chance to look back at my Fediverse advocacy in 2025 😊
Psst: my Ghost blog is now federated (@ele) thanks to @jannis and his amazing MagicPages (@hey) 🥳 🪄 📄

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.

I just wanna say THANK YOU to everyone here who is talking about, testing, and even contributing to the #nixbook project!
When I started this project last year, I could never imagine it being this far along and well loved by now.
#foss really is the best damn way to do software and love y'all!
The 25.11 release of Nixbook is going to be an epic one!
Love how a resident fighting the construction of a large ugly office tower in my #Brussels neighbourhood casually shows off his @ubuntu #Linux laptop on local TV and loads files from the city's @nextcloud instance. ❤️

There's lots of talk about "digital sovereignty" – but what does that exactly mean? Well, avoiding vendor lock-in and economic dependency for starters.

I just donate to the @gnome project / foundation. This time I could only manage 10USD! But please if you can spare some money! Support one or more #opensource projects! It does actually make a difference!

Microsoft announces a new marketing strategy for the Year of the Linux Desktop 😉 Thank you for doing this. 😂 Nobody asked for this kind of product that breaks all privacy and safety standards. So choose wisely

There's all good news on the Dutch government front looking into using #FOSS alternatives for their own services and #OpenSource projects.
@janvlug just published a blog post (in Dutch) on how @developer is considering #Forgejo code forge, the #git forge software that #Codeberg host for more than 200k people, serving more than 300k repositories.

Also follow @Gina updates on Dutch government plans, and participate in the discussions and polls. 💪
