What’s the deal with that floppy disk that’s being traded around the dev community right now at conferences all over? Everyone keeps posting it on X?
The one that has a label and says “sovereignty inside :)”
I’ve seen at least 35 developers mention it at this point

It’s become a bit of a meme in the dev community lately! From what I’ve gathered, it started circulating at some of the big 2025 conferences—like DISC in Berlin or devcom in Cologne—as a playful nod to the whole “data sovereignty” conversation that’s been heating up. With Japan finally ditching floppies last year and companies racing to modernize, some clever devs turned it into a symbolic gag: a retro disk representing ultimate control over your data in an age of cloud and AI dependency.
