Friday links for March 13th 2026
It’s Friday. Time for some links that caught my eye this week.
1. Office.eu
A new sovereign European startup hoping to compete with Office 365 and Google Docs. It seems to be a hosted instance of Nextcloud Hub using Collabora for its office suite. If you like the idea of self-hosting but you also value your weekends, this might be worth looking in to.
2. AI Isn’t Coming For Your Job. It’s Coming For Your Mind
It’s a long read but it’s also one of the best articles I’ve read about the effects of generative AI on our ability to learn. Among other issues, those who use AI passively lose skills and become overconfident. So… nothing to worry about then.
3. Turn Your Handwriting Into a Real Font
This site will create a font based on your handwriting. It all happens in the browser so it’s completely private. You download a file, print it, fill in your writing, upload a picture back to the site and out pops a font. Your computer can now have handwriting as bad as yours.
4. A map of email servers by local municipality
Check who hosts your local municipality’s email. Belgium and the Netherlands seem to have signed some sort of blood pact with Microsoft.
Enjoy your weekend!
