Hi all! We're the folks behind Co-op Cloud (https://coopcloud.tech), a project which aims to build out a digital configuration commons for tech co-ops and democratic tech collectives. Our approach aims to maximise sharing, co-operation and reuse for setting up and maintaining libre software infrastructure. We have a public matrix room at `#coopcloud:autonomic.zone`, feel welcome! The project is currently in public alpha and super young ☁️ 🎩 💻

#Debian created an ecosystem where the software available there is reviewed and trusted, so the system can prioritize flexibility over security. In #Google Play, there are many apps we feel forced to use, despite knowing they are unethical or are tracking us. Google responds by locking down #Android to reduce data leaks, which also reduces the system's flexibility. #FreeSoftware puts the user in control so we can build user-friendly systems without being forced into bad decisions.

Hypocrisy level master: Greenpeace, whose subsidiary company sells 89% fossil gas in Germany, boosts pseudo-scientific anti-nuclear rant by the same Germany who calls itself "decarbonisation leader" while routinely burning massive amounts of coal and gas

"A fair comparison is against the electricity use of the same number of credit card or PayPal transactions."
OK, that's easy. PayPal processes more than 170 times as many daily transactions as Bitcoin. Does PayPal use 1% of the worlds energy production? 170%?
No.

Classic UK vs EU shitstorm on a few #COVID19 vaccine batches produced in India. Paul Nuki from Telegraph explains UK gov approved a few batches produced by Serum Institute India and declared they will be"treated as COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca" for use in UK and NI *only.* There's nothing wrong with these batches in medical sense, but apparently this is a separate supplier that needs to get a separate approval in EU, which UK gov never bothered about.

"You must understand that I am not giving this book a good review, or a lukewarm review or any kind of review. I am reviewing a book that cannot be reviewed. Libel lawyers tell me that, if I recommend that you read it, I could open this magazine and myself to court action. Not in Russia where the judiciary has been the loyal servant of the Kremlin since the early 2000s, but here in England, a land we once assumed possessed a modicum of freedom."

What a fantastic opportunity for correlated failure à la 2008 housing bubble!
