@alinuxexpert Have we actually analyzed the stream of data the European products collect, send and store? I doubt that Kärcher & Dyson give us access to their source code.
Today @PeterGray and I talked about switching to Mastodon during the #diday - the recording is currently on Youtube https://youtube.com/live/nd0WipaPnwI and will soon also be also on PeerTube. #digitalpermaculture #digitalindependence #ethicalit

We’re participating in Digital Independence Day 🌱💻

Our digital infrastructure is increasingly centralised and proprietary. Open-source tools and federated networks offer another path: transparent, community-owned, resilient.

Digital Independence Day happens every first Sunday of the month. The idea is simple:
→ switch one proprietary service
→ to a free / open alternative
→ together, at a realistic pace

First session:
01.02.2026 · 14:00 CET
WhatsApp → Signal

Hosted by EuPN & the Digital Circle
Online via Jits for members of the EuPN and the Colab. https://permaculture-network.eu/news/eupn-joins-digital-independence-day

In times of constant climate headlines, it’s easy to overlook the power of small, local actions.

Permaculture designer and teacher Karen Noon reflects on a simple Diploma Guild exercise that grew into a shared, cross-border design experiment: four women, living in different parts of Europe, meeting online, testing climate actions individually and learning collectively.
