We’ve made the hard decision to end our experiment with Mozilla.social and will shut down the Mastodon instance on December 17, 2024. Thank you for being part of the Mozilla.social community and providing feedback during our closed beta. You can continue to use Mozilla.social until December 17. Before that date, you can download your data here (https://mozilla.social/settings/export), and migrate your account to another instance following these instructions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-social-faq). 

For some last-minute, end-of year #permacomputing joy, please join us in Berlin for a workshop:

## POST:COM:POST ##
** Regenerating rotting devices.**

* A Permacomputing Berlin Workshop *

15 December 2024
12:00 - 17:00

hosted by:
/rosa
Heidelberger Str. 28, 12059 Berlin (Alt-Treptow/Neukölln)

In this workshop, we will attempt to install the Linux-based PostmarketOS on "obsolete" Android devices and find convivial new uses for them. This event will be more of a collective hacking and experimentation session than a traditional pedagogical instruction format. We can't promise to make every old device work again but we can offer a fun, informative and supportive environment.

"Alpha" edition of WEKILL//LEAKS was cool, looking good, and fun to play... but inbalanced and sometimes a bit confusing.

After 6 months of playtesting and adjustments (and the building of a computer seimulation!) a "Beta" edition is being printed! More streamlined and fun to play, and much much more balanced!

Video is such a big part of how we share, learn, and stay updated online. But with #BigTech monopolies and censorship (both private and state), it’s key to have alternatives.

This month, we’re talking to @peertube a network of independent, self-managed and interconnected platforms. They received a grant from @NGIZero as part of the #NGI0 project.
