yesterday, i took ownership of the "workers' rights" magazine on kbin.social > you can find it here: kbin.social/m/workersrights
since i consider workers' rights to be of international importance, i try to get away from an english-only, anglocentric perspective > attempting to counter english dominance on the fediverse, i added the hashtag "hartal" ("strike" in many south asian and southeast asian languages), aiming at a better discoverability of non-english posts at least on this specific subject
if you send me the term for "strike" in a language other than english, i will add the term as a hashtag to the kbin magazine mentioned above > contributions from the global south are especially welcome!
Of course you all already knew that all this shit about #CarbonTrading and #CarbonOffsetting was never about anything but fraud and greed.

Does the open science movement sufficiently consider perspectives of the Global South?
Huge announcement ! @calyxos is now available for the Motorola G32, G42 and G52 ! Why is this a big deal ? Because it helps us further our mission of making #PrivacyByDesign available to the maximum amount of people around the world as we can..
Google Pixel phones are the default and easiest phones to support while maintaining the #Android security model with a locked boot loader and full verified boot. But they are only sold in around a dozen countries around the world.. and are not cheap
So there is a lack of accessibility to folks in the #GlobalSouth in particular. These Motorolas cost around half of what the budget versions of Pixel phones cost and are sold in many countries in continents where Pixels are not, including in #SouthAmerica#Asia and #MENA
Thank you to #StartSmall and jack dorsey for believing in us, and for the funding that made this possible ! And a BIG thank you to our friends at @LineageOS for their work on platform support for the Motorola phones
