Openness, transparency and reach: three reasons why public institutions should embrace the Fediverse
An article making the case that the Fediverse is a fantastic communication platform for public institutions - because of its openness, transparency and reach.

Just a photo from a walk near #Peretshofen . For a couple of reasons we didn't do a larger tour that weekend but "just" had a nice walk and I had some good chances of practicing a bit photography in my home area.
Enjoy some flowers :)

We've been in #austria today, looking down to the #achensee. It's been a lovely hike. Warm but nice. Now relaxing with a good coffee on the couch.
(But still thinking about all the cyclists... Should I go cycling 🤔)
