Google's impact on our climate is so bad they can't even hide from their own numbers:
"Google’s own data makes it clear: the corporation is contributing to the acceleration of climate catastrophe, and the metrics that matter – how many emissions they emit, how much water they use, and how fast these trends are accelerating – are headed in the wrong direction for us and the planet,”
- Nicole Sugerman, Campaign Manager at Kairos Fellowship.

If you're on here and hearing your friends say they're going to #BlueSky 'cause they're “getting better reach” — remind them what always happens next.
They lure people in with engagement, then shadowban, censor, and sanitize once the politics get too real — especially when it comes to #Palestine.
Investing time and energy into these corporate-lite platforms is a trap. We’ve seen it over and over: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — now BlueSky. It’s the same playbook with new branding.
Mastodon isn’t perfect, but at least it's not selling you out the second you speak truth.
Tell your people: don’t chase numbers. Chase liberation.
#FreePalestine. Always. 🖤❤️💚✊🏽

Siempre me quedé con el pendiente de retomar el tema, pero no sabia como expresar.. Es justo uno de los grandes retos de MI "moderna" que esta intentando de tratar SimpleX; identidad unica (vinculada con algun otro proveedor, como 😰 un numero telefónico!) y listas de contactos (centralizadas) basadas en tales identidades. En fin, creo que habrá que hacer el esfuerzo de cambiar actitudes, y no desanimar con falsas declaraciones tipo "demasiado complejo, no podrás"
Si se puede!

With one's own solution, one is not limited to just forwarding to another phone number, although for sure this may be "easiest".
For example, Android (AOSP) actually had native SIP support integrated in stock dialer before android 12 although some manufacturers hid it, and yes there may be battery drain issues and other issue for reliability. But it was there, and worked!
Core support is still there of course, VoLTE and WoWifi is just glorified SIP.
@jamiem
didww.com have been good to us, and even though I have not used it (no need), I understand they also have a fairly powerful web based switch control panel.
They only thing I have an issue with is Caller ID forwarding, this is because regulation and the industry has severely tightened restrictions on this in recent years. One used to be able to originate calls with any CID one cared to put in the headers.
@jamiem
I do this with a DID provider, a VOIP call termination provider and my own kamailio server. This is probably not 'minimal', but then we have to define minimal. Kamailio for such a service runs without much computing resources and there is no need to pass any media so the bandwidth use for SIP is tiny.
There does seem to be an idea that one needs "wizard foo" to hack on such things, (SIP, et al.) but it is really not much more complex than a simple web server.

When we do it: ‘shaping the narrative.’ When they do it: ‘disinformation.’

I woke up at 1am and the auroras were amaaaazing!! It was a bit smoky, but the auroras were so bright it didn't matter. I just stood there, soaking it up, while a barn cat purred and rubbed on my legs, and Starlink satellites drifted through the storm. Eat protons, Musk!
I also recently got a used old phone that can actually take decent night photos (unlike my phone, and yeah, I should get a real camera, I know).
So! Enjoy my totally unprofessional aurora photos!

Book Launch in Berlin at 19:00 on 31.05
at the Freifunk Wireless Community Weekend held at c-base.
Further details at https://www.networkcommons.org
Armin Medosch began documenting self-managed local networking initiatives with his book Freie Netze, published in 2004 (German only). He iteratively developed The Rise of the Network Commons in draft chapters published on his website The Next Layer before his untimely death in 2017.
'The Rise of the Network Commons' is a cultural history of wireless community network projects that spread from their origins in London, Berlin, Vienna, and Copenhagen to Spain, Greece, North and South America, and Africa. The movement drew together a panoply of technical, social, and artistic hackers in the development of new computational and social technologies. Medosch develops a twofold thesis: that involving non-experts in building a network commons has a profound emancipatory effect on the participants, while also contributing to a radical democratisation of technology. In community, we begin to shape future technologies to serve local needs rather than commercial interests. Only growing in relevance since it was written, The Rise of the Network Commons reminds us how we build the data/information/knowledge commons – by becoming sovereign neighbours of practice and expertise.
