"We need to become the thousand servers."

Hey fediverse! If you've chatted to me in the last year or so (or, frankly, if you've passed within earshot) you'll have heard me talking about the main project I'm part of currently: Perennial Housing Co-op.

https://perennialhousingcoop.uk

We're trying to start a new housing coop in NE London, as part of the @RadicalRoutes network, to be a home for 6-10 people. Our hope is that this will be a solid base (providing stable, affordable, community-controlled housing) for community support and activism.

We're raising money currently, and we've just extended our loanstock offer until the end of August.

There's a whole bunch of terms and concepts which might not be familiar to folks, so this is an invite to reply to this post with all questions! AMA! 🙋⁉️
(No question is too small or too silly, please ask!)

And please boost for reach! ✌️

Got a weird tech question, and I'm not sure which forum to post it to, so I'll put it out into the fediverse ether!

I use #lineageOS on a #Fairphone3 and most of my apps are installed via f-droid. But some are installed via #AuroraStore, when there isn't an fdroid version.

I'm not signed into Google play on this phone.

Most apps just work, but there are 3 which do a weird thing, and are unusable as a result - when they start they just spin out to a Google Play sign on page.

What's going on? And is there anything I can do about it?

The apps are:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saf.aranetCube.android (I haven't tested this one recently)

Hey fediverse, I'm ill. Can I get some TV/film recs?

Something cute and gentle (#OwlHouse) but maybe sci-fi (#ScavengersReign). Something a bit #solarpunk-y perhaps (#StrangeWorld)?

Maybe what I'm wanting is the #murderbot TV adaptation, but not dreadful? (They made my non-binary hero a hunky dude, fight me)

Just sign up at https://cooperative.computer/ 👍

@autonomic @MediaActivist @RadicalRoutes

Heck yeah. You stars! ✨

@MediaActivist

We've been using Nextcloud Deck (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/deck) for kanbans in @RadicalRoutes recently, and that seems to work moderately well.

I just checked the open managed nextcloud instances I'm on ( @autonomic's cooperative.computer and thegood.cloud) and neither of them seem to have that app enabled by default, but I expect it could be enabled easily enough.

@MediaActivist @syhr

Cool! Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you think it makes sense to arrange a short call sometime for introductions and getting up to speed with where things are up to?

@MediaActivist I'm curious. What would be the next step in getting involved?

Hey fediverse, what's the latest news on portable mini e-ink computers? I wanna be able to run linux from my hammock in the sunny woods this summer 🌞

This event is on Thursday! Come along to learn more about #ElectronicResearchNotebooks

It's shaping up to look like it's going to be jolly good fun indeed (if you're in to that sort of thing...!)

@cwebber this is hilarious 😂👏

Anyone got recommendations for #mastodon/ #fediverse servers which focus on #FOSS but recognise it as inherently political and celebrate the way it intersects with other activist communities?

Context: lots of folks seem to be feeling like #fosstodon has shown it doesn't align with their values, but I don't know where to recommend as an alternative.

#MastoMeta

A'right... after the nazi salute incident last night I'm putting my daydream into action this morning: I've messaged two organisations I love but who do not have a presence on the fediverse asking whether I can help them set something up

I've just set my WhatsApp status to:

"I've turned off WhatsApp notifications to protest Meta's policy on LGBT hate-speech. If you want to reach me - use Signal."

...and turned off notifications. I'll check it every now and then because so many people/groups in my life don't use Signal yet, but... fuck this.

@benx @jsit This was the closest I could find (though I didn't search particularly intensively) - https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/26271

@HopePunkFTW
No pressure to answer but I'm curious what you're referring to about lemmy if you're open to sharing?
Context: I signed up for an account on slrpnk.net recently and it seems pretty cool, but if there's background politics/drama that I'm not aware of I'd prefer to find out sooner rather than later 😅

Impeccable work everyone.
