Die Mittelmeer-Monologe erzählen von Naomie und Yassin, zwei politisch widerständigen Menschen, die sich auf einem Boot nach Europa wiederfinden. Von brutalen ‚Küstenwachen‘ und zweifelhaften Seenotrettungsstellen. Und von Aktivist:innen, die dem Sterben aus dem Mittelmeer etwas entgegen setzen.

„Die Monologe berühren, schaffen Nähe, machen wütend … Sie widersetzen sich der Entmenschlichung der Tragödie. … In den Mittelpunkt stellen sie die Geschichten der Betroffenen.“

„I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.“

„The whole thing took three minutes. Scan, selfie, done.

Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents.

I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me.

All for a small blue checkmark on a professional networking site.“

Install party to set up #DeltaChat servers, created several local test servers, and promoted it.

This was our community's final in-person gathering of the year for free software enthusiasts, held privately.
We designated the year 1404 (in the Persian calendar) as the year for promoting free software culture.

Based on this, we organized various events and conferences to introduce this culture, and similarly pursued diverse promotional approaches to amplify the voice of free software.

The adoption of free software has had positive impacts in Iran.
Now, with a record of 500 active Delta Chat servers during Iran's internet blackout period, we made an effort to hold this final gathering.

We have named the new year as the year for promoting decentralized #free_software tools and will continue to pursue it.

May the new year in a free Iran allow us to both host events introducing books like #Ada and #Zangemann, and promote free, decentralized tools.
