Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to a KMZ that renders well in Organic Maps.

Enjoying the fruits of my labor now that I finished my 12-legged 'Carpentopod' table project. See

cursed fact: Adobe Podcast's "Enhance AI", a tool for noise removal and voice boosting, firmly believes that any audio you give it *must* have human speech.

If you upload, say, vocal-free chiptunes playing on a Game Boy, it will *find* the speech.

"Wir pflegen die Daten nicht richtig, brauchen aber dringend eine Auswertung darüber!"

Sorry, ich bin nicht Harry Potter.

A reminder from someone who’s been around the block more than a couple times: when you see a PDF or ePub on the Internet that you think you might want to read eventually, go ahead and download it, and squirrel it away for the future. The Internet is not, in fact, forever, and Capitalism will eventually take away anything it can’t rent out to you.

Das BMBF stellt also seinen Mastodon-Account still (auf den ohnehin seit November 2023 nichts mehr veröffentlicht wurde) und nutzt nur noch Social Media Kanäle kommerzieller Anbieter? Geht man auf die Website des Ministeriums, sieht man schnell, dass dort nur ein Teil der Informationen frei zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Bürger:innen müssen also ein Tracking ihres Verhaltens durch Nicht-EU-Unternehmen hinnehmen, um sich vollständig über das Handeln eines Bundesministeriums zu informieren? Wow!

Was vielen vielleicht noch nicht klar ist: Die Preise / Kosten und der Aufwand für Solar haben sich in den letzten beiden Jahren dramatisch reduziert und das ist noch nicht das Ende.

Die meisten Annahmen und Rechnungen der Gestrigen sind inzwischen vollkommen überholt.

Pakistan hat dieses Jahr so viel Heim-Photovoltaik installiert, dass die landesweite Stromproduktion um 30% gestiegen ist.

Nicht nur Pakistan. 2023 wurden weltweit 444 GWp Photovoltaik installiert. Das ist sind, Nachtzeiten und so abgezogen, mindestens 200 große AKWs(1) oder 300 große Fossilkraftwerke. In einem Jahr. Weil es billiger ist.

Es ist inzwischen auch bei uns fast genauso billig, Zäune aus Solarmodulen zu bauen, wie mit herkömmlichen Elementen.

PV alleine ist schon seit Jahren günstiger als fossil oder - am teuersten - nuklear.
PV+Batterie ist kostengünstiger als nuklear und wird langsam günstiger als fossil.

Wenn jetzt die neuen Batteriespeicher auch so drastisch günstiger werden, u.a. Natrium-basierte, wird das eine globale Trendwende zu Erneuerbaren.

(1) auf der ganzen Welt laufen überhaupt nur 450 AKWs. freiburg.social/@balkonsolar/1…

I have a proposal for a Europe-wide* experiment, that aims to bring together the movements around solidarity and ecology in order to build up the material infrastructure.

I'm looking for collaborators, please DM me!

Here it is briefly:

We try to raise 50 000 000€ over about 5-10 years and give that money as 1000 gifts of 50k€ each to new collectives for setting up housing cooperatives and land communes. The main vehicle for the fundraiser would be crowdfunding with focus on a high volume of small, recurring donations.

For example, this could be achieved with 200 000 donors, donating 5€/month on average for 50 months, or 4,17 years. That's 250€/person over four years.

Each recipient collective would make a legal pact with us or a trusted third party to ensure that the property will not be sold back to the market for financial gain. Additionally collectives would go through screening to ensure alignment with a shared vision.

*Even though internationalism on a global scale is important, I believe it makes sense to focus this effort geographically, to be able to have location-connected synergies between collectives.

In the end we would have boosted the 'ecosystem' with a network of maybe 10-30k members and created 1000 foci for social and ecological organizing. Additionally, we would have built up a network of Commons, that can help us gain a better understanding of this new, old, paradigm.

The leftist space is full of ideas and people with motivation to work and organize together, to try new forms of living and care, to grow food and to steward the land. I want to see this potential realized, but I'm afraid most of it will not happen unless we cooperate on a broader, international scale to push things forward.

Facebook really seems to hate Cory Doctorow, @pluralistic , at least in my posts.

If anyone’s wondering what the dude who sang “chocolate rain” is up to these days, he’s dropping absolute bangers about housing and he’s fucking right

I am not trans but it still got an audible laugh from me. Sharing for the #trans cool kids in my feeds.

“It’s time to stop playing defense. It's time to go on the offensive. To restore competition, regulation, interop and tech worker power so that we can create the new, good internet we’ll need to fight fascism, the climate emergency, and genocide.

To build a digital nervous system for a 21st century in which our children can thrive and prosper.” Raw power from @pluralistic
