                                                        I had the opportunity to tell the founders of the Sovereign Tech Agency (@sovtechfund) that I'm a big fan of their organization. I firmly believe that other countries should have similar initiatives. In fact, the EU should have one too.

                                                        Their recent €600k+ grant to Mastodon is a great example of what public investment in open digital infrastructure can look like. It strengthens the Fediverse, a real alternative to X. As I’ve argued in the campaign: we already have a viable social media alternative to X (1) and what we lack is sustained funding and political commitment. (2)

                                                        Thus, if more EU countries invested in improving Mastodon, how quickly could it become Europe’s de facto public square?

                                                        While most European politicians still prefer X for their official communication, reducing technical barriers could attract a more diverse audience, including the people our representatives want to reach, like journalists and the general public.

                                                        By the way, it's interesting, though not surprising, that the Sovereign Tech Agency has almost four times as many followers on Mastodon as on Bluesky. It would be great to see them highlighting posts and profiles of some awesome open-source projects active on the Fediverse. 😉

                                                                                                                                      Everybody can have AI security tools. But it's about the skills and the problem-solving capabilities with AI (agent orchestration, context engineering, splitting tasks, ...)

                                                                                                                                                                                I came across Framework a long time ago and was very intrigued, but it was missing that special something. When it came time to decide on a new laptop, everything fell into place. I already had my DELL configuration ready, but then I saw the new 13 Pro.

                                                                                                                                                                                Why did I finally decide on Framework?

                                                                                                                                                                                The introduction of a fingerprint reader, the use of fast, removable LPCAMM2 memory, and that distinctive, retro style that recalls the days when the hardware was "anything" – that's what finally won me over. It was the answer to my frustrations from the past. I remember laptops where burnt traces on the motherboard would first manifest themselves in failing USB ports, and then end up completely dying after a few minutes of use. Having trouble finding a replacement motherboard or battery after a few years, regardless of the brand.

                                                                                                                                                                                I believe that if something gets outdated or worn out, I'll simply replace it. A single component.

                                                                                                                                                                                The Big Small Screen Test: Is 13.5" Enough?

                                                                                                                                                                                Here's my biggest doubt. Going from a comfortable 15.6" to 13.5" is a risky move.
                                                                                                                                                                                Will the 3:2 aspect ratio actually compensate for the smaller diagonal? Theoretically, yes – more lines of code vertically is every back-end developer's dream. However, until the laptop arrives on my desk and I spend my first 10 hours at a coffee shop with it, I'm treating it as an experiment. The arguments about pixel density and brightness convinced me, but the final verdict will be my eyestrain after a shift with Ansible and LLMs.

It had a bay with an HDD that slid out from the side of the case and two palm rests for a 1.44" floppy drive or an extra battery. It was the pinnacle of engineering freedom.

                                                                                                                                                                                The Framework 13 Pro almost realizes this dream with Expansion Cards. Speaking of professional dreams:

                                                                                                                                                                                If you can fit 1TB on an expansion card, I challenge you: Make a full-fledged card with an NVMe slot that slid out from the side of the case. I want to be able to physically eject my main drive with data in one hand, just like I did at Dell twenty years ago. That would be a real revolution.

                                                                                                                                                                                --

No more fighting a closed architecture. Will the 13.5-inch be a disappointment? We'll find out soon. For now, I'm excited about the thought of returning to equipment that I can fully control.
