Tnx for this overview.

It’s hard to find any good info. TIL; GrapheneOs was founded by Daniel Micay, a Canadian. That’s pretty much European too.

To me, it’s about having “de-googling” smartphone OS options. As you seem to be more of an expert, how is safety/ privacy ranked between normal Google Android phones compared to any one of those other OS from that graph; so I undertand at what level were are talking about?

Tnx! Yes, I’ve heard about this option as being safe. I will also consider it, but as E-os claimed to be "smooth ", that would be great too ofc.

Am trying some alt (chat) apps as well atm. Deltachat and Skred. And if you like French, Skred is an option. added:( chat)

I have an old SmartPhone which I could use, after getting &installing a new battery. Will need to plan and go through the whole process, I’m no expert. But sure, I’ll do a follow-up.

Am now more working with migrating to mailbox.org or tuta.com, libre-org etc etc. It’s a new world.

Just saw this other sticky post mentioning 5 different smartphone OS systems, including this one. But not about experiences.

Added some extra info:

Some users claim to start with an older second phone, and gradually decouple as time and a learning curve is needed ( example: specific banking & parking apps, and so on)

Review 2024 by Wired

It really is. Could’ve been worse, like having some “I love Tuta” stickers. smh

TIL: they used to be called Tutanota. The word “Tuta” comes from Latin, which roughly translates into “Safe”. This acts as a nice successor to what “Tutanota” meant in Latin, which was “Secure Note”.

lithium mining and refining appear less awful than it actually is.

So do I undertand you correctly it’s just an “eventuality option simulation” to lower the environmental footprint?

Like for example the listed WLTP* Kw/h / fuel consumption of cars in perfect (lab)conditions which never exist?

*Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure

Hi how did you come across this petition, is it legit ? See my other remarks.

Mc Donald’s

Good point. It is hard and somewhat confusing at times what one should boycot. While some brands like Tesla and Coca Cola are clearcut,others like Mc Donald’s are franchised (or frenchfried) enterprises. Usually they use >90% local ingredients afaik .

Some other big conglomerates do some of same, using locally sourced ingredients.

Also, one could focus on just sanctioning the RED States for example. At least that was also a POV that was interesting. Some might argue, that Dems are also responsible for this mess, but that’s something everyone needs to decide for themselves.

Also there is Mondalez International is a USA corp. with a range of cookies & chocolates,

Brands like Milka, Cadbury, Côte d’Or, Toblerone, Freia and, LU, Oreo, Belvita, TUC, Prince en Liga

And Pepsi ( with many brands like Lays.

Nah, it’s just the ghost in the machine.

Tip: always add “True” string to the algorithm/s

So is it like DDG but with EU GDPR ?

should be a push to public transport.

Don’t know where you are from, but most of Europe has had good public transport. Though it can always be better, so Europe is pushing further with for example the TEN project, and check some vids on YT.

Also, imo, there is no " one" right answer. No holy grail nor whatever. Most choices are incrementel.Usuallly It’s a shift of awareness, technology ( in a form) and culture, which hopefully leads to a better tomorrow. The difference is that the majority of the problems we face have no precedent. 8 bn humans worldwide is a first since for ever.

That doesn’t seem very much at all.

This article is also 3 three years old; Germany allocated € 5 bn and UK 3 bn for EVs.

If I see this correct, it was a 44-56 % split three years ago.

I couldn’t find any proper comprehensive and comparable studies for subsidies and investments in ICE and EV.

Also there is a difference between subsidies like incentives, tax cuts, and investments

Thx! And, to clarify the situation I copied this comment from @Sarah link.

It’s not a “plug type door”. It’s a plugged door. They’re different things. This isn’t a door at all. It doesn’t open.

Indeed it’s NOT part of the fuselage (plane frame), it was built as an empty socket for the placement of an eventual (extra) emergency door, depanding the seat configuration. In this plane they did a faulty install of a " plug-in "instead.

exit door plug, which are installed as “blanking plates”.

Do you have some more info? I can’t find any new detailed info and I’m no airplane mechanic.Afaik, blanking plates are usually cosmetic, and the problem occured due to cabin pressure loss. Also, the plane was supposedly certified, recently.

over the past 60 years the West

I reckon the writer is saying this about the West because that’s the only data he had access to. And, that this techno-pessimism should be a worldwide phenomena.

On the other hand, I wonder whether other cultures, apart from the West, have adopted a similar risk averse mindset. I mean, “the Haves” (and not the Have- Nots) are the only ones prone to be afraid to loose their accumulated wealth & lifestyle. But probably other affluent groups in the Non- Western world, might have adopted similar tendencies.

Or, they might have not. And this risk averse mindset, is exclusively a Western post-industrial cultural element. It would be very interesting to find out what the cultural & regional differences actually are world-wide.

It’s being done in Europe since decades actually and probably in other places. Not sure though whether the figures are true, and or how they are calculated. But I’d say slowly Europe is getting there.

article Washington Post 2014

Forest and nature destruction, started actually thousands of years ago What has changed though the last couple hundreds years is an extreem population boom.

The first polluted river in the world is like 5000 yo or something.

Ad. just saw someone else saying reforestation even started 100s of years ago. Though reforestation to me, also means more net green.

If you want to cry at USA for something they did, do it. But we are crying in Europe for what Ruzzia is doing right now in Europe.

And, the whole of EU supports Ukraine. As they are our good neighbours. So why the fuck would you someone talking about power abuses, have no respect for Ukrainians which are literally seeing whole cities destroyed on a daily basis.

I’d expect considering your tales, that you have at least would’ve some empathy for the victims of power abuse. Bur, no, it’s all about your opinion. Me myself and I . Just wonder what your mentor Lenin would say that to that.
