Its democracy or widespread death and despair...in the digital era you can't run democracy without the #4opens so this has to be at the root of our garden of ideas.
How would you edit the #4opens to make it more understandable for outreach http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/projects/4opens/

Hey! I'm trying to get a better app icon for Replay (the open source YouTube client for GNOME that I'm developing). I've made some progress on it, but I ended with 4 color variants... Can you please tell me which one should I use? And why?
(Boosts are welcome)

@dsfgs you can get the Shop Ethical app. It lists who owns what brands and what country they are from (plus other ethical issues/considerations). You then can check the products you buy and see if you want to switch to a different product based on what you value. But you cannot search by country.

’There will be no climate justice while we celebrate January 26’

@StayGrounded_net I was meant to have an around the world trip last year. We brought #carbonoffsets in WA, Aus at roughly 20% more than all modes of transport. It was meant to be a once in a lifetime trip but now I am #stayinggrounded and only want to drive around Aus. I know they do bugger all so I got a project that has other environmental and social benefits.

@dsfgs yeah this is so annoying. I want to buy direct and not let the aggregators take a large cut from the hotels.
Woodside's giant Burrup Hub gas development is the dirtiest fossil fuel project ever proposed in Australia.
The Government has secretly given approvals for unlimited gas processing & unlimited pollution at the Burrup Hub.
The Conservarion Council of WA urgently needs to raise $200,000 to help cover the costs of running this landmark court case against Australia’s dirtiest fossil fuel development.
Will you join us to defend our climate from the Burrup Hub?

@elementary I got my ticket!
@joao good evening 😁
@lunduke they should move to GitLab and if they need to they can host their own instance.
I just watched David Attenborough's A Life on our Planet. A very good look over his and our natural world's life and what our future could be. Worth the watch. 😁
Currently in Netflix.

It turns out that the reason free, open source messengers suck on iOS is that #Apple force-closes background applications unless you pay them for the privilege - which is why proprietary applications like WhatsApp, Discord and Facebook Messenger work just fine.
This means small and free actors are banned from participating.
A look at the future of Mozilla and its looking good!
