I get my leather shoes from https://gea-waldviertler.at/shop/schuhe

Made in Lower Austria and absolutely love them. Their style is not for everyone, but I absolutely love mine.

I don’t follow this community, but noticed there are more active alternatives: !collapse@sopuli.xyz and !collapse@slrpnk.net

You don’t understand how happy this makes me to know I am not the only one. Pretty sure my employer silently just accepted it (although they wouldn’t have to).

Signed up and started using tutamail awhile ago. I used to have my actual name as my email user but decided against it now.

I also started “digital privacy detox” a year ago and have made significant progress:

1. I decided to figure out all the accounts I made before I started using password manager and added them to my password manager

2. I went through them, logged in / sent an email and terminated my accounts. This has taken me a year not because I had so many accounts everywhere, but because certain platforms are so fucking difficult with this (the only one I have not been able to get deleted although I’ve said this is a GDPR violation is Roblox. The account is almost 20 years old and has had no activity but they refuse. I currently am trying to figure out how to tip them off to an organization like NOYB)

3. change info on accounts that I do plan to keep by removing personal info and switching to my new email. This is also not as easy always as I had hoped: e.g. Twitch (which I use super rarely but I do use it sometimes) for some reason doesn’t allow a tutamail email…

Extra: I bumped into a shady “professionals for recruiters” website that had scraped all of my data from linkedin. This info is public and I never put much personal info on my linkedin, but I got creeped out by seeing my picture on this website I never put it on. I removed my real profile pic from every platform where it was after that.

The devs do post and comment here on CoMaps community, but you are more likely to get a discussion going about this in their codeberg repository’s issue section or alternatively on matrix for real time chat with all the contributors.

I love your posts. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Just a headsup: I just crossposted this and am not the original poster :) wanted to share this here since I know there are lots of eyes on this community and many of us are thinking about fairphone as our next phone.

But sadly as @Dequei said already: grapheneOS only works on pixel phones :(

NOYB mailing list is the first mailing list I signed up for willingly. Such a good organization.

That’s awesome. I’ve read the hunger games trilogy in my native language and they were absolutely brilliant. Might have to give it a try in my target language with audio too!

Sounds like a good goal with the A2 by the end of the year, looking forward to read here how it is going! And a phone call sounds really nice, I noticed at my workplace there is someone practicing their british english that way on their lunchbreaks (I was wondering why they are just repeating mundane stuff in british accent and realized this must be it).

And same. I actually kept myself from progressing by being stuck on “how to progress, how to optimize learning, what do I need…” etc. Best method has been to just dive into the most obvious stuff and just practicing without overthinking. This is why I buy study books: they have a clear path for learning that you can follow.

And I’m glad to hear that! We’ll keep the weekly threads going - it’s an accountability thing for me and reminds me on bad weeks to not give up (you guys are inspiring too).

Think that’s actually juice

Hey you leave my favourite beaver alone!

Ah okay so that’s not it. Thanks for clarifying.

Thank you! Was about to search for a documentary or something on that topic now that it came up.

That makes me really angry and sad… I knew there is a lot of abuse and trafficking happening in the adult material industry, but this is my first time reading about it. Thanks for brining this to my attention.

Way to go Congratz!! Does the hunger game book have anything to do with “hunger games” book trilogy? Such a good read too.

That is super interesting, I heard the same in german class: by end of A2 most of the grammar should be done.

If you can afford a second tutor just for conversations I’d say do it! I realized that I can study endlessly but real conversation is only getting easier by real practice. Not only listening but having a nice flow yourself is also something that needs to be practiced.

You are such a good example of truly motivated and inspiring learner. Hope to hear how it goes with the study material!

I’m obviously limited to my own bubble, but my friends / aquintances consist mostly of “tech aware” people and they have been getting cozy with Fedora and Linux Mint due to the BuyFromEU/BuyFromEurope movement.

I know from a few schools that they use ChromeBooks since corona pandemic (they were handing them to kids so everyone could equally attend remotely) and they just kept using them since they had them when they returned to classrooms. I don’t know how widespread this is and don’t know if chromebooks count towards linux desktop stats?

Yup, same. Currently reading the 3 books on my commute to itch that scratch.

Yeah can’t wait for autumn…

We had a real, similar case like this not too long ago in Finland (extensive article from Finnish national broadcasting company, NSFL text).

Court concluded that no one can give consent to be tortured/maimed/etc.
