#Security #Updates on #Android are really that bad: They take months to never to be rolled out and manufacturers stop supporting them after one year anyway.

This is one of the core problems of #digital #sustainability: good performing hardware cannot be used only because software / manufacturers do not support them anymore.

Solutions:
a) use #FreeSoftware e.g. Custom Rom and
b) help to include smartphones in the European ecodesign guidelines by signing this petition:

@katrinleinweber you could take a look at pleroma as well, known to be lighter that mastodon.

I really love the #FSF's idea to call the release of proprietary software under a free license after the end of its support to "#upcycle #software"

this gives a very meaningful connotation to an otherwise rather technical / legal issue and helps to make it understandable for non-experts. Also it is short and handy & works pefect for slogans. Great job! I will re-use it from now in further debates and argumentations.

And btw, sign the petition to #UpcycleWindows7:

"The big, homogenous, world-consuming #Internet we know today is #unsustainable. And if this network is going to have any chance of surviving, it has to be disrupted, destroyed, and broken down."

A great article about the Internet and #climate #change, about the web's comfortable walled gardens, urban elites, advertisements, the division between the rich and the poor, resilient communities, #decentralization and much more totally worth the 20 minutes of reading.

Another #workflow question for folks on the scholar.social instance... I write in #markdown and manage #citations in bibtex using bibdesk, but am thinking about moving to #zotero + zotfile + BBT (https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/) which can manage auto export of libraries to bibtex, I gather. Anyone else out there have comments re using Zotero for a bib(la)tex scholarly #writing workflow? It’s important to me that I have access to database in the form of bibtex files.
