Finally made a short "trailer" about the channel and what our series are about.
Some news and updates :
1 - The good news our videos will be published on Ecoflix - ecoflix.com/
It's kind of Netflix for nature and wildlife documentaries, most are about conservation and restoration. It's for free, and it's great. I won't get paid anything from them, as all of the profits are going to nature conservation projects it's a "no profit" platform. But maybe we will reach new people there. So I was buys preparing 10 episodes which will be season 1 from them
2 - At the end of March, me & Mara will be going to Brussels to perform a duo music performance with the sounds of the whales at the European Commission. There will be conference about Climate Change. And we will also speak about Oceans and Cetaceans.
We also not getting paid for that, but

We also not getting paid for that, but at least our expenses are covered since Brussels is very expensive. We will also take Night Train from Vienna. Which I am very curious about.
3 - While I've been in January in Latvia I've managed to appear at 2 radio shows, had long interview at Delfi.lv - largest news platform in Latvia, and in 2 TV shows on Latvian TV. All of it is in Latvian language, so I won't share it here, just some pictures. But it was good coverage. In all of the interviews I spoke about nature protection and volunteering.
5 - Meanwhile I am looking for other project to join and volunteer. Probably in March it will be Moldavia, then there are probably will be something in Montenegro and Serbia.
So actually quite a lot of things going on even if I am not actively volunteered these month. But winter is like this, there are not many projects at this period. Everything starts in spring.
I was a bit depressed and discouraged for the couple of months, but I can't give up, somehow we all need to keep going and doing good things in life even if sometimes it seems impossible or feels like there is no point.

It costs a missed opportunity to give more appropriate advice: stay away from google and use more private community forks of android that if I understand correctly will not be affected by googles papers please app ecosystem.
A strategy focusing on begging tech giants to not do the will of capital is basically lying to the public that there is a chance this can work.
In theory yes the open letter is a nice thing to have regardless of how google reacts because then we have something to point to how google is ignoring public opinion - but it needs to be presented with heavy caveats and we need to focus on getting average people out of googles grip so they don't hold this much power over us

Oh! We agree. That's what @plasmamobile is all about. However, realistically PlaMo is not ready for the general public yet, despite how hard we are working on it.
If we could get the sort of support regular Plasma has, the story would be VERY different. But PlaMo is still niche.

I hadn't heard until Plasma Mobile until now, I had only heard of the pinephone one. I am excited to hear more about the project development in the future!

The preferred test hardware is OnePlus 6 and 6t these days.

Very much both. Also finding more hardware support. In that respect, we must not forget about the great work the people at @postmarketOS are doing! They help us get PlaMo on to more phones, giving us more space in which to grow.

in reply to 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧📎 Ambiyelp • • •@ambiguous_yelp Fair point.
However, if we insist on using Android (forks), we're still impacted by Google's decisions. Sooner or later, these forks will be less and less of a valid option (cf. how google's changes to the Pixel 10 series were a pain for the Grapheneos team).
Even if this letter fails, we shouldn't simply stick our heads in sand and look away from these issues. As you mentioned, raising public awareness is critical. So is fighting against their control.

I expect hardware to become more locked down, this is what states and capital want. The best solution to that continues to be open source hardware and modular devices.
I believe this because open source hardware and modular devices create power at a grassroots level and invites tighter crackdowns from governments - but there is a political limit to how oppressive a regime can be and the more power we build for ourselves the more expensive it will be for them to stop us using unapproved apps which slows the whole oppressive system down

No. But to keep the mouth shut and let it happen quietly is not an option.

Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.

in reply to KDE • • •How does Plasma Mobile fit into this? I thought Plasma Mobile positions itself as an alternative to Android, so I'm wondering why we don't hear much about it.

It does. Albeit, many end users will find it hard to install and with not as many features or the stability of Android.
We are working hard on it and it has come a long way, but it may not be the drop-in substitute many users will be looking for quite yet.
