Si hay andaluces entre mis filas, que alguien me explique cómo la gente sigue votando a un partido que ha destrozado sistemáticamente los servicios públicos desde que gobierna, teniendo a mi madre y otras miles de personas en listas de espera desde hace años para operaciones y tratamientos urgentes.

Que alguien me lo explique.

I'm very happy to see how my 3-year journey replacing big tech with privacy-oriented, humane platforms is shaping:

Gmail: Tuta and Proton

Google Calendar: Fossify

Google Maps: Organic Maps

Twitter: Mastodon

Facebook, Instagram: Pixelfed

WhatsApp, Telegram: Signal

Android: GrapheneOS

Windows: Linux Mint

It was overwhelming, it took time and research. But I can tell you that another digital experience is possible.

Now I'm thrilled to have devices that belong to ME, like in the old days.

It's hanami time! 🌸

#Imperial vs. #Metric System 🛠️

This is what happens every time my partner and I plan a road trip, build furniture, shop for beverages and basically perform any activity that involves measurements.

Which phone would you recommend to buy for installing LineageOS? ✨

My android died and I need to get a new device. The more I research, the more clueless I am as to what to pick.

It should be:
- an unused device,
- might be a few years old but still have a long lifespan,
- 250-350 EUR price range,

I'm not a heavy phone user (mostly use it for maps, emails, transportation routes, etc.).

Share your stories!

Retoots much appreciated. TIA 🤗

Hi, Bluesky folks!

I bridged my Mastodon account to Bluesky. You can see my Mastodon posts now, but I won't be able to see you or interact with you unless you bridge back to Mastodon. 🐘

Yesterday was my two year Mastoversary, and I'm so grateful that this platform exists, and all the wonderful human beings who make it wonderful. :owi:

*Help needed*

I haven't been able to open my Pixelfed profile page in the app for weeks - the desktop version works fime. In the app I can browse through the feed and even upload pictures, but when I go to my profile page, I get the error below.

The error persisted after clearing cache and data, so I uninstalled the up and, to my surprise, it looks like the app isn't available anymore (?).

Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advance. 🙌🏻
