Yesterday, the PβurhΓ©pecha municipality of CherΓ‘n, MichoacΓ‘n, celebrated 14 years of autonomy. It began on April 15, 2011, when a group of women blocked cartel-linked illegal loggers from removing trees from the community. This act sparked a mass uprising that saw the community reclaim its territory, establishing barricades, 179 permanent bonfires, a form of autonomous government rooted in PβurhΓ©pecha forms of communal organization, and expelling the cartels, police, and political parties.
If you want to know more about CherΓ‘n, might I suggest "The Bonfires of Autonomy," a piece I wrote for the anthology edited by @cbmilstein, "Deciding for Ourselves: The Promise of Direct Democracy:" akpress.org/deciding-for-ourseβ¦

Die Bahn-App β#DBNavigatorβ ist voll mit #Trackern, die uns ΓΌberwachen. #Digitalcourage klagt dagegen. Denn wir wollen Bahn fahren β nicht Daten liefern.
Gemeinsam haben wir Ende April die Bahn dazu aufgefordert, die MΓ€ngel zu entfernen. DafΓΌr hatten wir der #DB eine Frist von zwei Monaten eingerΓ€umt. Doch die Bahn hat in ihrer Antwort klargemacht, dass sie nicht vorhat, etwas Wesentliches zu Γ€ndern. Am 20. Oktober 2022 haben wir deshalb unsere Klage eingereicht. Die Bahn hat mittlerweile ihre Klageerwiderung eingereicht, auf die wir geantwortet haben. Der nΓ€chste Schritt bei unserer Klage wird die Verhandlung sein, ein Termin wurde noch nicht bekannt gegeben.

The trajectory of E2E-encryption is about de-platforming: There shall be no central machines that can control the edges/peers, and the social groups and virtual centers they freely form.
Our #deltachat R&D around #chatmail relays and #webxdc apps all aim to realize such a "zero-platforms" fully E2E-encrypted interaction model. However, this is *not* just about cryptographic cleverness. Rather it is about usable anti-authoritarian designs, as explicitly stated in January delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxdβ¦
Delta Chat: Replacing billionairish platforms with ZIP files

I really wish Delta Chat had built in voice all feature atleast.
Signal stopped working in the middle east even with a VPN and while texting works on Delta Chat even without it for the most part, the voice calling feature is equally as important if you ask me.
Please let me know if there's a way to do this or please consider developing this in the app.
As I announced earlier today @RezzaBuh and I are going on an #evtrip. Goal: pick up an Audi Q4 e-tron 35 I've purchased in Bavaria. We're staying in an B&B near the border over night. We use an EV on the way there, too. The only charging stop is in 311km. Once we get there, the car should have 19% of battery left.
(if you don't want to follow this thread, just mute #evtrip)
We arrived at the supercharger in Pilsen with 24% of battery left. We were speeding 130km/h where we could and the average consumption was still 17.4 kWh/100km. Now we need to charge it for 10 minutes to reach Rozvadov, but we'll probably stay a bit longer to have extra energy for tomorrow.
The downside is that the supercharger in Pilsen is on a hotel parking lot 7km off the highway with no services around, just the hotel.
#evtrip
The next stop is the Audi dealer in Roth. #evtrip
Now the drill is:
1) go to the insurance company to get temporary insurance (β¬89, done),
2) go to the transport authority to re-register the car and get transport plates,
3) go back to the insurance place to get the plates physically done.
4) go back to the authority to stamp the plates.
Fortunately the insurance company is just next door.
#evtrip
Let's go back for the car. #evtrip
Charging power at the supercharger was only 35 kW. Not sure if it was because the battery was at 60% or there is some compatibility issue.
Next stop: Ionity Beroun, 170km
#evtrip
Arrived to Ionity Beroun, another 170 km, the battery down from 80 to 20%, let's get back to 80% and continue. The biggest problem at the moment are several traffic jams along the way.
Ioinity started charging 105 kW which is close to the car maximum. Also the biggest price: 21 CZK (β¬0.8)/kWh if you don't have a plan. This ride will be more expensive than with gasoline. #evtrip
So far the biggest problem has not been charging, but traffic which is just terrible before the Easter. #evtrip
A strong Europe rolls on at high speed.
Efficient EU train services offer clean and smart alternatives to travel.
This is why we want to bridge gaps in the EU's rail network with a new high-speed rail plan.
Tomorrow, we'll kick-start new discussions with stakeholders to improve infrastructure, passenger services, and the rail industry.
We're also working on single digital booking and ticketing rules to make travelling easier.
Ready to hop on?

This is powered by XEP-0455 (xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0455.hβ¦).
TLDR: Server gives client a URL to a JSON file during normal connects, client will hold on to that URL and fetch the JSON file in case server is unreachable.
