Real talk, this FlorisBoard keyboard is probably the best open source keyboard for android that I've ever used.

It's gesture keyboard is like 80% there. It might not have some of the more advanced features that AnySoftKeyboard has but the stuff that works is impressive.

From the EFF:

"We've heard from a group of journalists working on a feature length documentary that involves governments and spytech companies. They worry that their devices have been compromised and are looking for a tech that can determine if their computers are being used to monitor them."

Most #Plants Depend On A #Fungi-#Bacteria Relationship We've Been Overlooking

Agricultural scientists may have overlooked a #symbiotic relationship essential to the success of #food production. Its discovery may bring potential to supercharge it to enhance #crop growth, replacing artificial #fertilizers that come with a host of undesirable consequences.

In this April I've come across two new European rail co-operatives, the Dutch https://www.europeansleeper.eu and the French https://www.railcoop.fr

I haven't analyzed them thoroughly to see what kind of co-ops they are or aim to be, but I think this is something quite remarkable. Start of a new era? A bottoms-up resistance to rail privatization?

What do you think of these two co-ops? Are there other similar co-ops around?

Greetings, everyone! 🌱
OpenSourceSeeds is committed to re-establishing seed as a common good for all. We do this by providing new varieties with an open-source licence. This is an easy way to legally protect seed from patents and other forms of privatization.

We'd love to get in contact with anyone interested in open source, commons, seeds, organic agriculture and agrobiodiversity. See you soon! 🥦

passing on this beautiful open call for a new art & ecology residency to the fediverse https://lios.io/ -- happening this summer in Bledow Desert, Poland

LIOS labs art & ecology residencies are programmes designed to nourish the inner and outer ecosystem. The residencies are spaces for knowledge ex-change and cultivation of regenerative body-mind practices.

***FOR FOLLOWERS IN THE UK (PLEASE BOOST IF YOU HAVE UK FOLLOWERS)***
I have a voucher for a free vehicle MOT at a Halfords auto centre to be redeemed before the end of May. It’s of no use to myself or anyone else that I know and it would be a shame to waste it.

The first person to send me a DIRECT/PRIVATE reply will get the voucher and I’ll update this thread publicly to confirm it’s been taken.

Thanks!

> The hack took place last Monday and took down the order system, forcing the company to return to pen and paper to process orders and regulate stocks, the Telegraaf reported.

"... agriculture’s largest contribution to climate change stems from ... synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. By reducing ... chemical fertilisers and substituting it with high-quality organic fertilisers, half of all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions could be prevented while simultaneously building humus."
