Interesting link and tidbit. Was put off by the 'real name' bit. Somewhat less put off by it after reading the Ho Chi Minh City wikipedia page

Updooted.

I see, thanks for your nuanced reply. I'm glad to hear you're in a process of transition, and given your situation I can understand using the tools you're used to for now.

I'll share your post to mastodon as well as a matrix group chat where workers' co-ops, cooperative online service providers, and movement orgs are organizing the digital transition workshop mentioned in my previous comment.

I love the initiative. Am organizing something similar for (primarily anti-fascist / left movement) orgs, mainly in Scandinavia.

Seeing this workshop rely on proprietary, centralized, privacy disrespecting, fascism-vulnerable services (bit.ly and zoom); makes me unlikely to engage though.

I recommend you check out these efforts, it'll make it easier for you to practice what I think you're trying to preach:

• https://riseagainstbig.tech/ (2 workshops thus far https://cloud68.co/blog/document-sharing-without-big-tech-rabt-workshop-nr-2)
• https://commonscloud.coop/
• https://mayfirst.coop/
• https://meet.coop/
• https://in.fra.red/
• https://collective.tools/
• https://kollektiv.email/ (email, transactional email, lists)
• https://konstellationen.org/

Geared more toward personal use:

I've always wanted a Voron (https://www.vorondesign.com/). There are plenty of shops selling parts kits, and some selling prebuilts. We'll see what we makerspace members agree on, if we're even getting more FFF printers. We share house with a board game club, so there's a lot of local interest for getting a resin printer. That'll likely come first in any case

Aight, Prusa's out. Won't be choosing them for our community makerspace any longer

Maybe check out https://mirlo.space/ , https://subvert.fm/ and https://resonate.coop/ ? They're all cooperatives of various sorts, treading a path towards actual economic and social sustainability in music.

Read a good book, chat with coworkers, build solidarity and unionize✨

Title is a bit too hyperbolic, didn't read the article.

For context: I think offshore wind and small-scale wind on 'gray areas' are great, with appropriate measures in place to safeguard animals, insects and people.

Words matter. Please, let's not diffuse the meaning of murder by implying that inanimate objects or abstract concepts can be killed.

When someone goes to court accused of planning to murder me, I don't want them to be able to handwave it away by saying 'I didn't mean murder in that way, I meant murder as in cancelling them'.

Apologies for the rant, I'll get on with my day

Sure, I get that. Dams often involve lots of concrete, which emits insane CO2 during production; and dams devastates large areas of nature (or human settlements).

Just felt it weird to state that natural gas is required for a stable renewable power grid, when hydro exists. Wherever hydro is possible, it's almost certainly better than natural gas in most aspects.

Forgot about hydropower, the OG and also most reliable renewable

Thank you kindly

Google is enshittifying Pixel and Android with noone poised to stop them, so it's a bet where the odds of a getting a good long-term experience are stacked against you.

Would you consider a different manufacturer with less user-hostile behaviour, like Fairphone or Shift?

Fwiw your old op6 will make a mighty fine server
