At a time of growing concern over the power of the world’s mighty tech companies, one German state is turning its back on US giant Microsoft.

In less than three months’ time, almost no civil servant, police officer or judge in Schleswig-Holstein will be using any of Microsoft’s ubiquitous programs at work.

    Last week I noticed that Lemmy doesn’t like certain characters when posting URLs and silently replaces them - in my case %20 got converted into + which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.

    I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…

    Check this comment out where I used every possible value from %00 to %FF in URLs. The second half (above %80) gets wild
