Not long ago Spain also won the Euro Cup – the biggest sport competition in Europe. Football that is. After the game people went into the streets to celebrate. The Spanish flags on display, honks, partying, “We won!” people were screaming!
What is interesting is that these are two of their best players of the tournament:
Yamal and Nico. Yamal’s father is a Spanish immigrant from Equatorial Guinea, and his mother is Moroccan. And Nico’s parents had to cross the Sahara’s desert to immigrate to Spain “illegally”.
Also two of Spain’s best defenders are called Robin Le Normand and Aymeric Laporte – not a fucking chance these are Spanish names! These guys are born in France.
Speaking of France, this is their football team:

Speaking of France, this is their football team:
No, this is not an African team, it is the “french” team. Most of their players have African roots. In fact when they won the World Cup in 2018, 87% of their team was made up of immigrants (them, their parents, or grandparents). And historically this has always been true for France.
Even their most iconic player Zinedine Zidane is of Algerian descent. His parents immigrated to Paris and he has described himself as a “non-practising Muslim”.
Lastly this is how the other finalists of Euro 2024, England, would look without immigrants:
Overall the African immigrants were some of the best players of this Europe football competition.
Keep that in mind!
So when their supporters shout “We won!” waving their nation’s flag, who is “we”? Who is Spain, France, England?
Food and Football, two very culturally grounded things in Europe, are all made up of bits from other parts of the world. And so is the case with every sport and dish from anywhere on this globe.
So true man.... I'm not really a big sports person but I did watch the recent world cup and this is something you can notice in every team. Is not so much about the country as it is about the team, I'm not sure why they even attach nationality into this.
Also that story of Nico's parents having to cross the Sahara desert is truly insane man. Such things still happen today when it comes to human trafficking!
1. Google tells you that you don't have to worry about sharing your data with Google because it's 100% anonymized.
2. Google is asked to share your anonymized data... and, what a surprise, Google says it's so easy to de-anonymize the data that it poses a threat to you!
Here's my recommendation: don't give your data to anyone. Problem solved. So amazing. Much wow.
I wish there was a crowdfunding campaign somewhere to get a reasonably modern phone up and running reliably with real Linux.
I'm talking something with PostmarketOS / Mobian + Phosh/Plasma Mobile / Gnome Mobile and the basics made reliable: * wifi * mobile data * calls * suspend/wake * camera
Maybe make Waydroid integration a stretch goal, but not a core requirement.
I would gladly throw a bunch of money at something with the promise to get the basics to work reliably.
Maybe the issue isn't money, but it sure seems like pooling funding for some of the highly talented people working in the space couldn't hurt.
It is not without it's limitations, for sure, but I love my #Librem5. It is everything you describe. The battery life is my only drawback right now. I run it with #PostmarketOS. Pretty sweet. It runs full #Linux. The #FXL1s by @furilabs is another good option but it is kind-of a half-android, half-linux phone. It runs Halium but I don't really understand what that is.
@fisherdude @furilabs Halium is a piece of software that allows running Android's proprietary drivers on a Linux desktop. It intercepts the Bionic libc calls and translates them to glibc (or Musl if you somehow run it on there) and makes the driver interface's available to desktop software. That does mean you're running a bunch of proprietary software and are still on a very much outdated kernel.
While made and advertised as a pocket computer (keyboard, square-ish screen, no earpiece speaker, modem on M.2 module, battery…) with optional calling capabilities, more than a phone, for as far as croundfunding goes this one looks like it might check the boxes:
I have been looking for something similar for years and asked about it here and there.
At the moment, opencollective.com/postmarketo… seems the most promising, as they also sponsor component work and follow an upstream first approach, it benefits the whole ecosystem.
Note that it might make sense to also sponsor some individuals like @okias doing a lot of upstreaming work.
There was e.g. #Liberux which failed unfortunately (I backed it btw).
I hope for something modular like a #mnt_reform phone where the modules could be exchanged with several processor module options. This way, many parts could be kept for a longer time. An upgrade board for the #librem5 would also be an interesting idea.
I'm not sure if you can donate to GNOME and KDE's mobile efforts specifically. Similarly, there doesn't appear to be a way to donate towards the #Librephone project specifically instead of the whole @fsf in general.
I love the @mechasystems project but not sure if that tiny-screen device can ever be a smartphone replacement unless they offer a taller screen variant...
running Android apps should be a priority, like a transition period. Other than that, a ton of resources are required for such a project to gain serious traction. I doubt that donations would be enough.
@elx So close, but I'm really looking for something that can run standard Linux apps that don't have to be specifically made for just one platform like Jolla or Ubuntu Touch. Still, I'm happy that Jolla exists, even if I wish they would open the interface.
Its OS (Sailfish, successor of Maemo and Meego) is platform agnostic.
It can run standard apps*, specially Plasma Mobile (QT6) and also containers with full distros (including mobile ones!) for which the phone has plenty of resources (8-12 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage).
*Besides Jolla's repo here are at least two independent ones with a lot of compiled apps:
AFAIK no interface in SailfishOS is closed and if some component gets obsolete it can be updated by anyone, which was the case with qt5 or xdg-shell (that might have misled you)
maybe it's time for a new PinePhone. Even though the hardware was not the most Linux friendly ootb, the community has done an amazing job to get it up and running with Mainline.
@Lioh I must disagree. Look at Pinephone Pro, which even after the community's tremendous effort (for which I am very thankful), remains an expensive useless brick. Projects that give me some hope are liberux and dawndrums, where the premise is to deliver working hardware and software alike. But at the moment, we must be patient and use imperfect alternatives (degoogled Android or libhybris OSes on secondhand devices) until things get better on the software side...
@sado @Lioh iirc the reason the pinephone pro failed was political, not technical. pinephone pro should have most things working on pmOS (we are now using a subset of the megi kernel)
@Logical_Error Interesting. I actually have a PinePhonePro already but haven't updated it since about 6 months after it came out. It's hardware enablement jyst seemed so far behind even the PinePhone.
I can even live with short battery life, via spare batteries, if the basic functions actually work.
The issue isn't the phone anymore but that most native Linux applications are not realy working ON A LINUX PHONE. Most apps are not built for being operated on tiny touch screens. The ones I actually manged to install cannot be launched or do not expose a usable user interface. Most others I tried did not install at all. All in all I tried about 20 apps (the ones that mattered to me). There is at least one noteable exceptions that works flawless on my Linux phone: syncthing
imo the fp5 seems to best fit, but i havent looked at the pmOS wiki chart in a while
i think the main problem isnt really funding but development. lots are interested, but the knowledge is locked behind institutions (eg. schematics and engineers to talk to)
ppp was close (we have schematics), but failed because of disagreements unfortunately
there are linux phones being sold by companies rn, but i would be careful of buying those
Oftentimes in the #linuxmobile space, I see people slightly confused as to what this means, even if they don't explicitly define it, but it's easier to think of it as a spectrum.
The frontier labs are using the same playbook as drug dealers. Give everyone cheap access to a replacement brain until individuals, businesses, and entire industries are dependent on it for their very existence, then jack up the prices and watch society burn.
Democratized software development is being able to develop software using good, reliable tools for roughly $0.
As I have for a long, long time.
Meanwhile, devs are having to pay $$$, with costs now skyrocketing, to "build" software completely beholden to a handful of slop machines. Makes zero sense. (And no, "my employer pays for the tokens" is not an excuse!)

@jaredwhite Agree! I'm at RubyConf right now and someone literally said they don't remember how to use vim anymore because they haven't written code by themselves in a year.
I refuse to get caught with my pants down when this all explodes.
inequality has been a harsh fact of life since the dawn of... well, life itself, i suppose. but one thing that's not apparent, at least to the wealthy(er) parts of the world, as far i see, is the inequal access to the so-called "intelligence"-as-a-service providers, and obviously, the hardware to self-host them on, which is the direct result of the providers. (i'm skipping the obvious unethical exploitation of peoples' work, for the sake of my argument)
not that i'm super into these stuff, but i think the vast inaccessibility must be cleared for those who ignore it. does anyone care? perhaps not. we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with if people had cared, or rather, people with (more) power...
i see on the rust reddit here and there people burning tokens, and money on... useless stuff, if i'm being honest. recently, someone burned 500 usd (openly-stated) on something i don't even recall now (code translation-related, iirc). as a student in the most pricey city of my country, i could pay my rent that i for 2 months with that sort of money
i see some projects getting slop-mashed, or slop-coded even. some stuff i really wanna see, you know. i really wanna see rust gui make it into android with all of its native apis (plus services etc.). i want an editor setup where i can edit files using my keyboard (on my non-wsiwyg editor) when have access to laptop, and using phone when i don't (on wsiwyg editor), all of which are synced between... another one is a music player with full integration of listenbrainz and musicbrainz with in-app tag editing which can be shared via the musicbrainz api. lots of ideas like this, for the benefit of humanity if not just me...
i hope you get where i'm going with this. not that i'm interesting in writing these ideas into programs, but seeing privileged people being able to do without fear of what's gonna happen next feels overly pay-to-win... just another view...
the quality of code is not very assuring for me, but the industry seem to not care. recently i was very disappointed with a few crates like water-ui, z-bus, and (especially) facet (plus vix, dibs, or whatever the author is slop-coding as of now...)
I hate it when these people say democratise instead of popularised. Kratos is power, the people have not seized power of the programming activity, quite the opposite.
Y'know, if a space lizard army was prepping the Earth for an invasion, this might be one of the steps. And goes so well with the dino-friendly terraforming effort, too!
Just to give an idea how LLM nonsense is affecting #Wikipedia, perhaps a quarter of threads on ANI, the Administrators' Noticeboard for Incidents, involve LLM use—either crap articles generated by LLMs, or people using LLMs to write extremely wordy, unhelpful replies to concerns about their behaviour.
That's a huge externality right there - whatever uses AI tech has, it has enabled a DDoS attack on the hardworking volunteers trying to maintain the commons-based project the damn LLMs trained on.
Hello distant people from who knows what corners on this round giant rock!
Today, after years of not being able to create anything new for TROM, I am releasing a new project: TROM Articles. See tromsite.com/articles/
Same as TROM Books, but in a different format. Makes more sense to have these pieces of content in this web-format rather than a PDF like the books were.
I am starting with an article about this project: TROM Articles.
But the main release is a massive article called Culture Cancer that I've been working on for the past year. This is an in-depth article about why groups of people hate other groups of people, and why culture can become cancerous.

I am starting with an article about this project: TROM Articles.
But the main release is a massive article called Culture Cancer that I've been working on for the past year. This is an in-depth article about why groups of people hate other groups of people, and why culture can become cancerous. From Israel and Gaza, to Nazis and racism, I dissect this complex topic in a very simple to understand way.
I learned so much while doing this article. I learned to not hate even on those that are absolute monsters, because you get to learn where their hatred comes from. I learned how to communicate better with others and try to solve conflicts, even between friends, partners, family. I learned about the complex situation in Gaza or why the Nazis were such monsters. I learned about what cultures are and why variety is something to celebrate not differentiate. Learned about immigration or where racism comes from. What makes someone a terrorist? Or a white nationalist? Why are people putting themselves into groups and they hate on other groups of people?
A lot to unpack for such a complex topic, so I hope you get to learn a lot too. The article is full of links/sources, videos, documentaries, a course about culture, and even a quiz.
It makes us saner, smarter and more relaxed if we are educated. This is why I want TROM Articles to be a valuable place for that.
At times we may write smaller articles, but from time to time I want us to dissect important topics like the one above, or AI, or how we see the world, science, so much to learn about!
I am going through a lot recently, so I need a bit of time to be able to create new content. But I love doing this. Actually without it, I feel like I will collapse into a black hole. We may reboot TROMcast too, to discuss this topic. I may create videos as well. Let's see. I will let you know if/when these will happen.
I also feel forced to mention that it would help me so much if there would be more people supporting TROM financially. We ask for 5€ donations a month if possible. I feel sick even mentioning this, but since recently I was abandoned by my best friend, my partner with whom I was a team with and helped each other in all ways, then facing the world alone, physically, mentally and financially, has become a big fight for me now. I am asking for real donations not like "if you donate you get this". Everyone is treated equally and asked for a small and equal amount of money.
I hope I can make it, in all ways. Or at least in some ways. I have a lot to say and do. I want to create a Trade-Free Event and open the doors for more collaboration with TROM. Let's see where this goes.
Thank you for still being interested in this project that I hope will become a lot more relevant now with the new TROM Articles release!
PS: I know many people use mobile phones to "eat content". But I cannot guarantee these big articles are properly formatted for such tiny screens. Quite impossible the way I design them. So please, if you can, use a bigger device.
I read the post about Trom Articles project and it gave me so much hope. I am also hanging on the Trom floaty and now I feel like I took a huge breath of air after being with my head underwater for so long. And I didnt even read the actual article yet. I am so excited to read it and understand this world/society better. I wish I had your determination and curiosity! Thanks to you I also get to learn and keep my head above the water. So, Thank You!
Working on open source apps is a big challenge. Everything is made possible through your bug reports, your feedback, and also your financial contributions, which is for me the hardest part to talk about. They cover the server costs, and they also help me in my daily life.
If you appreciate my work and can help me on #Liberapay or #Kofi, here are the links. Thank you for your support.
Personally I applaud any FOSS developer willing to ask for financial help to make their projects better. FOSS should be community development, not martyrdom.
It's not a lot, but I just set up an anonymous monthly payment through Liberapay to put my money where my mouth is.
Thank you for all your amazing work on Fedilab (which I use daily) and HoloSocial (which I hope to use soon). Thankyou too for having the courage to ask, so I remember to help how I've meant to for far too long. What I'm paying doesn't nearly cover the value you provide me, but hopefully this encourages others to chip in and help, too. ❤️
In Japan, valuable trees are relocated instead of cut down during development. Arborists use nemawashi, a technique combining horticultural knowledge and modern engineering, to prepare the trees for relocation.
When roads, railways or new buildings are planned, centuries-old trees are often among the first casualties of development. In Japan, however, some of the country's most valuable trees are given a second chance.
You have to set up a brand new Linux machine for a non-tech family member. You cannot touch it after today. What distro and desktop environment are you installing to ensure zero support calls? 🤔
I set my mom up with Mint+Cinnamon 7-ish months ago.
She's called one time to make sure the automatic update prompt was legitimate. Zero issues since then, zero support, and she's thrilled with how much faster it runs compared to her old Windows laptop.
Well, of course most would say Mint. I generally lean towards Mint in general too, but lately I've been kind of leaning a bit more towards MX Linux. It's Debian-based, barely modified from base Debian, but also has support for sysvinit as the init system instead of systemd. (systemd is still installed even on the sysvinit version unfortunately, but being used as components/dependencies, not init.) This hopefully guarantees some small layer of futureproofing as systemd spirals.
Linux Mint (MATE edition) has been my go-to for basically this purpose over the past few years (loaning laptops to folks who need them). People with very limited digital literacy have come back asking how to get "that kind of Windows" on their own computers in the future.
I'll just use gentoo as usual and call the yearly to bi-yearly round of updates 'maintenance', not support (the non-tech will not be asking for those anyway).
If I had to pick one, it would either be AuroroOS (Universal Blue Project distro) or AnduinOS. AnduinOS looks intentionally like Windows 11, so as long as the updates don't screw up...

I'll risk it and recommend Ubuntu. Seriously, if you're not regularly programming in C or C++, then it's about the simplest to maintain and use. One thing, though, if the person in question has been using Windoze for a long time, then I'd also recommend installing the MATE desktop. It'll feel very familiar to them.

@bob Buuuuuuut we're going to attempt to ban an array of billions of floats (aka Lebniz' calculus dream) cause..... Reasons.
Fuck, even Ned Ludd destroyed the machines of owners when he couldn't get them for the laborers. Even he realized the 'means of production' are important.
I just had a vision in which data center equipment became so cheap and efficient to build and run that public libraries offered web hosting and VPS services to anyone with a library card.
Like, if libraries were once private artifacts only built by the obscenely wealthy until people voted to provide them as a public good, why can't the same happen for data centers?
@baltakatei Thing is, I'm looking at something kind of like this.
Wouldn't be cheap initially. But it would be a completely solar/battery/geothermal data center, with working with farmers to install base solar and providing shade and free energy for them to boot.
Once it gets up to steam, it would be a massive data cloud. Would bolster power networks by lowering baseload (read: coal, oil), local DC ops.
I could see working with communities in getting cheap/free instances as well.
I've a #Question for the masses, and would appreciate if others would boost this.
Its about #Datacenters #Green #Agrotech and #rural #Fiber #Internet
We all know the story of hyperscalers.
As someone who actively misses working in datacenters, I like that vision. But they aren't that anymore.
My favorite was an old dinosaur pen ( used to hold a mainframe ) that had been repurposed. Lot of good memories in there; set the bar for everything else. It wasn't much bigger than a typical two bedroom apartment and pulled about that much power.
They aren't that anymore. They're monstrous oversized warehouses of loud and cold now.
To extend your analogy: they aren't the book room in an elite person's estate, they're an Amazon warehouse.
Community owned small rooms with a dozen racks, each full of servers with names that were known to everyone who entered... that's a heavenly thought.
@NathanMurdock Studies have shown that reading on paper results in better retention and comprehension than reading on,one, especially compared to hypertext.
Pubmed is a free online database, from the US gov't , that has info on virtually every scientific paper ever published (at least in English) related to medicine or biomedical research if you search for Artificial Intelligence AND cancer
there are about 22,000 articles from 2025 to 2025
social media is so funny
When it is covid/mRNA vaccines the universal cry is: TRUST THE EXPERTS
when it is AI/Cancer, the universal cry is: THEY ARE ALL BOUGHT OFF BY BIG PHARMA

So, true story. A library I used to work for was a "Library of Congress" archive -- and had microfilm as well as original documents and periodicals. A few years ago they went digital. Good luck finding some of those after Trump & fiends delete digital archives!
plus, our libraries also have internet access and pcs - if you need one, as well as printers. All inclusive, the printer paper costs 10 to 30 ct./page. It's also a place to read many newspapers and magazines, we cannot afford all of them. Online or in the next public library in the city. What would we do without libraries!?!
@bitterseeds mastodon runs in the cloud... The internet... Well, fuck it, it's all just computers.
But i wonder how many mastodon servers out there are not running from within a server rack but on something like a Dell Wyse or Raspi or such under someone's desk...
Tough luck, this data center can not provide government and corporate agents any data on who reads what when ... and that is essential to them and "their" sharing of data.
@iriyan Some libraries do keep historical records of who has checked out which materials. I can display a list of all books I’ve checked out of my local library. I can opt out of this if I choose.
Really great small documentary done by @Dima ! Imagine that this is done by just 1 guy. All of the filming, editing, everything. So impressive that it makes it incompatible with our Trade Based Society since he will have to stop doing these long form videos because he cannot sustain this.
Imagine that...
Someone like Dima cannot continue to volunteer and do these important videos because he gets no support from this society. This is why we cannot have a saner world. This society is not built for humans, for us to be relaxed and taken care of, so we can do important stuff. No, this society is built for humans to be machines who create a lot of stuff. Sell, buy, consume. Trade.

Kudos to you Dima for doing this for so long and I look forward to the next remaining episodes. Maybe a miracle will happen and you can get some support to continue!
Inside the Dangerous Mission Saving Griffon Vultures
I joined Griffon Vultures conservation expedition in Serbia. Together with Bord Of Prey Conservation Foundation we went to the largest Griffon Vulture colony which is located in Uvac Nature Reserve.
EU needs to make a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe
@EUCommission is there any plan in motion to stop this monopoly from Google on Android? reCAPTCHA now also requires a Google Certified device status. Soon won't be able to use apps without being locked to Google.
Thankfully from what I see, the QR code verification in reCaptcha is a default option and user can change for visual or audio verification in one click. While the QR only is now used infernally in enterprises. At least for now.
I bet that Eu bureaucrats are instead really really happy about #PlayIntegrity since they gives them **apparent** total #censorship powers. Sadly I also bet they are too stupid to understand they are handling the keys of power to an evil entity overseas
@paoloredaelli I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind EU wanting Play Integrity being a mandatory requirement for non Apple devices. Same way EU forced Apple to open their walled garden.
The only nuance thing here is, a Google Certified device means that they are running Google's proprietary blobs. So really, the course of action is, install alternative OS/use alternative OS and instead tell the devs of apps with Play Integrity checks that there are alternatives to check a device is not compromised - because that is what it should be about. Force Google to provide a different verification path that allows alternative ROMs/OS to be seen as safe.
eudi / wallet and everything eu related (w social) is full google service depending (all for security reasons...) I dont think that they will change their mind
@sakura84 it's worth raising awareness that there are alternatives to Google Play Integrity, for example Promon Shield from Norway promon.io/products/shield-mobi…, and many others. It definitely does not need to be a device that installs apps from the Play Store, and is GMS certified. F-Droid, Aurora Store work well on a deGoogled device but if the apps themselves don't work unless they detect that Play Store is installed, it means only Android with Google services can be used. No alternatives.
@WORM From what I know it's a bit of both. They often use a skin over an existing software stack so they don't have to deal with as much regulatory details, even though that's kinda part of their job.
- No desktops either if Google's QR captcha is any indication of where we're headed. Assuming this goes through, even desktops will be locked out of the web unless they're linked to a Google device by scanning the QR captcha with said device.
Or, Google could mandate AluminumOS to be able to pass their captcha on the desktop as well, and only through the Chrome browser.
Worst case, the end game will be thin clients tied to rented servers, which would ultimately be tied to your government ID.
This will fall on deaf ears. The neoliberal hegemony loves tech monopolies because it allows them to outsource the policing of digital space.
(The fact that Big Tech is even less democratically accountable than the real police is easily ignored because the policing is now off balance sheet. Same as privately owned 'public space' in cities which are policed by private security.)
They really are doing anything they can to lock down the digital world, so you in-practice do not own jack shit... "But it's to protect you", lol it's so THEY remain in control, so that THEY choose what software reaches who. I'm tired boss
Earlier this year we wrote about the ridiculous thin-skinned executives at Palantir suing a small independent Swiss online magazine, Republik, that had reported on the great lengths the company had…
Google loses its appeal and will now have to pay the record breaking fine of €4.125.000.000 for abusing its Android dominance to force Google search onto phones.

NEW: For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas.
As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. While carbon capture may sound practical, there is no conceivable way it can work.
