Thanks @betakit.com for naming Gander a 2026 Most Ambitious honouree in the Sovereign Stack category. There is no sovereignty without technology. The spaces where we connect, organize (and the data we create doing it) need to be our own.
GeoLibre v0.5.0 is out! This update significantly expands data format support, making it easier to work with a wide range of geospatial datasets in a lightweight, modern GIS environment.
the general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)
