#BuyEurope and Made in China - how do they go together?

You can find the answer in our new blog post:
shift.eco/en/german-smartphone…

At a time when national interests often take precedence over common solutions and dialog is replaced by power games, many of us feel a strong need:
➡️ For stability.
➡️ For reliability.
➡️ For responsibility - also regionally.

@Friendica Support

Hi.

I am trying to find out if its a good idea to run my own #friendica server for family, relatives and friends. Motivation: #unplugtrump. Historically, the clan (still) uses iCloud and photo sharing etc.
My friendica server is blusox.de hosted by weingärtner-it (Thank you!).

I am trying to get used to be an admin for friendica. Some things are going well, others are leading to questions which it seems I cant solve by myself or by RTFM.

So if anyone should feel like introducing me to some do's and dont's or supplying some useful knowledge for a more or less closed friendica instance, please get in touch.

German welcome.

Current unsolved problems:
- Apart from an admin account I have two "regular" users who are friends with each other and who see each others posts. They can interact etc. But embedded photos are hidden for some reason. Which settings do I have to check?
- Is a group a reasonable feature to create "sub groups" in our clan? I didn't manage to get groups going.
- Is it a better idea to try a #pixelfed server for this purpose? The photo quality seems to get reduced to a tolerable minimum here on friendica.

Thanks!

I was searching for an #googlemaps alternative for rating places but based #openstreetmap data

For example the Eifel Tower:
maps.app.goo.gl/9fxtCpPF8WB71Z…

A friend told me about #mapy that does pretty the same with OSM data.
Ofc it is not used that much in comparison to gmaps:
mapy.com/s/kelazoboma

Even if this is a company driven service, I will give it a try.
Do you know about other tools to cover this part of #googlemaps ?

A bit of #unplugtrump might also be a valid reason here.

really the best possible time to advertise US products as greatest thing since sliced bread. not

Great news! While Trump is busy dismantling the Library of Congress, the German National Library of Science and Technology (@tibhannover) is preparing for more to come: they've downloaded the entire 10 TB of the arXiv preprint server and safeguarded more than 2.6 million scientific articles. Thank you so much! This was especially needed since, last year, the arXiv decided to shut down its mirror network.

My wife runs a small non-profit (<5 people) and wants my help to get them off Google Workspace for Nonprofits. They mainly use email, collaborative docs, calender and drive. I have limited spoons so the simpler the migration, the better. Any suggestions?

Options I've come across so far are #Proton, #Infomaniak, #Zoho and #NextCloud. Are any of these better/easier than the others? Happy to pay, but budget is not unlimited. I've a little experience with Zoho, but am not sure how good its privacy credentials are?

We are based in Australia but the host doesn't need to be here (EU or Switzerland, I guess).

Tag 22 im Fediverse - Schau was flattert da in mein E-Mail-Postfach.

Ich oute mich jetzt hier: Ich habe bislang ziemlich viel zu Google Maps beigetragen, weil ich ein großer Fan davon bin, meine Erkenntnisse, Fotos und Informationen mit anderen zu teilen. 🙈

Künftig möchte ich auch hier etwas neues ausprobieren. Gerade habe ich die App "StreetComplete" entdeckt, mit der ich wohl ziemlich einfach zu OpenStreetmap beitragen kann. Gibts im Playstore und auch bei F-Droid.

Ich schaue mal noch, wo ich Renzensionen, Fotos etc. jetzt hinpacke, bin noch am Einarbeiten in OpenStreetmap und freue mich auch auf vielleicht ganz andere Dienste, die da noch auf Ihre Entdeckung warten.

Habt Ihr spannende Tipps, wo ihr etwas beitragt?
