Same big impact, now at a lower price 📱 💚
We've dropped the price of our #Fairphone 3 and 3+, making it even easier to own the world’s most #sustainable smartphones. Good for the planet and your wallet.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

Help needed: Please send me your Android debug logs! https://community.signalusers.org/t/help-needed-please-send-me-your-android-debug-logs/23266 // #Signal #SignalApp #SignalDown
I don't understand why some people were "laughing" about #Signal being down.
I fully agree that decentralization is clearly a better alternative to #WhatsApp.
However, IMO, each person that leaves WhatsApp, should be counted as a victory. Even if it's still towards #Telegram or Signal.
Don't be an arrogant a**hole, help people leave WhatsApp. This migration shows us that more and more people are becoming aware of their right to privacy.
Let's just live one day at a time, shall we?
ProTip: Remember to check your URLs for "utm_*" parameters
E.G. If I see:
"?utm_source=reddit.com" at the end of the URL you shared, I know you got it from Reddit
Or "utm_campaign=newsletter0120" tells me you probably copied it from an email sent in January of last year
These are never needed to actually reach the page you're sharing. They're just for analytics (UTM tracking modules) and will reveal where you get your information (to us and the site), which may cause privacy issues
Just received issue 37 of the #fsfbulletin. Thanks, @fsf!
Ladies and gents, I'd like to introduce you to Simple.css - a new classless CSS framework built by yours truly.
The web based Mastodon-client @pinafore is just as good on the phone as it is on the computer. It's lightweight, clean and a joy to use.
One of my favourite features with Pinafore must be the wellness settings. I really like that it supports pagination to prevent endless scrolling.
The only thing I miss is support for multiple accounts on the same server. :)
Happy new year, #fediverse!
Where can you buy DRM-free e-books?
I've added 11 new DRM-free e-books, magazine and comic shops to Libreture's list of bookshops this month alone.
There's more to e-books than just Amazon and Kobo!
