By the way, for myself that book is Engine Summer.

Tonight's hot take is that if your favorite book/movie/game is something super popular, you haven't found that one weird thing that resonates just right for you specifically yet. I mean, there's lots of things that are both good and popular, but somewhere there's something that's the same level of weird as you are that you will obsess over if you find it.

Anyone currently or previously involved in a time bank? Been talking with some people about starting a local one but very curious about others' experiences. #timebank #mutualaid #circulareconomy

Good to know. Luckily this is a library copy so no money paid to Greer. Will be curious to read with that lenses and see if there's any obvious connections.

I'm also working my way through an old recommendation - Ecotopia. I've heard it's dated but cautiously optimistic currently.

Specifically what I was debating was not which is most private/secure (I've seen the chart you linked, and I agree GrapheneOS is the easy winner there). I was debating whether that was more personally important to me than financially supporting an entire toolchain that moves away from requiring Google or other large corporations as much as possible. Currently, GrapeheneOS is reliant on Google products and that's a big point of hesitation for me.

I don't know why you're explaining all these things when I already agree with you. I have to admit this account's attitude can be a little off-putting. People have reasons to choose other options besides security and privacy.

Re: new phone. I ended up ordering a Pixel 9a. I'm going to continue to use @npub1kwa…e0nj. While it looks like LineageOS and /e/OS are great options for degoogled alternatives Graphene still looks like the best one for *security* in a serious sense. It's nice to be in a time period where there's multiple strong options tho. Looking forward to seeing what the field looks like next time (in hopefully 5-7 years).

Anyone have any good suggestions for phones that can loaded up with an AOSP or Linux distro? My refurbbed Pixel 6a seems to have given up the ghost.

Florida can put 5000 beds together in under a month if it's to build a concentration camp, but can't house their 31,000 homeless citizens.
These are policy choices, and not just on the right. Dems could be using emergency powers to house people in blue states.
We have a party of fascism and a party of the status quo.

"If you're not paying for the product, you are the product" applies to politicians too. Go to open secrets and look up your representatives. Scroll down to %s of funding sources. If less than half their money comes from "Small Individual Contributions" (people like you and me), then they don't work for you, they work for someone else. And their job is to get you to let them do what their funders want.

Thought this article from Low Tech Magazine was very interesting, and encourages me to think of ways to reduce temperature, besides just AC, during the upcoming heatwave:

any postings on the website? I know my credit union has maintenance once a week and is unaccessible then, but that's usually Sunday nights. Friday morning seems like a bad time for routine outrage.

Is there an EV equivalent of engine breaking? Is it as loud? This is probably a very car-ignorant question.

Saw this at the current exhibit at Wash U's Kemper Art Museum. The whole exhibit is about seeds and the art is lovely, but this really stunned me. The drawers are full of seeds taken from plants growing locally, which you can take.

Ooh, when did #SolarPunkSunday begin?

2025-01-20 17:57:59 UTC

A lot of new arrivals to mastodon this weekend. I recommend checking out #introduction sometime today, and following and boosting new people with shared interests, to help them connect.

I try to have this conversation with non-techie friends sometimes. They'll complain about the internet. And I try to redirect. You don't hate the internet. The internet gives you wikipedia and constant connection with friends and family. You hate that most of your internet usage is mediated through platforms designed to keep your attention and sanitize your communication for advertisers.

Thinking about how to teach morals like "stealing is bad" in a way that doesn't rely on law and capitalism.
What i have so far is it's wrong because it affects other people's abilities to meet their needs.
There's also the fact that, in a more collective society, it would damage the sustainable allocation of shared resources. But that's not exactly a child-level explanation.
I'm specifically thinking about the 9-12 age area if anyone has ideas.

Absolutely. Graphene is a drop-in replacement. It has a relatively small set of phones it works on (only pixels I think) but there's a few others that are similar, like CalyxOS (which I have no personal experience with) that supports other devices.

Doing #FreeSoftwareAdvent for the first time, starting a little late. I'll focus on the free software that has the most impact on my daily life.
First up is the OSes I use. On desktop that's @npub1du2…f6r3. As someone that used to use Arch, then spent many years on Debian, I was impressed with how Endeavour balances Arch's ethos with some sane defaults to get you in.
Next is @npub1kwa…e0nj. This is my phone OS. It's pretty much a drop-in google android replacement. Love it.
