Edit: Apparently there are 3 main software used by various regions across the world:

• https://demosphere.net/en
• https://gancio.org/instances
• https://lauti.org/#instances

In greece we have https://kinimatorama.net/ which is a calendar of upcoming mainly anarchist (but also generally leftist) events, like protests, squat bars, free cinema, mutal aid kitchens, live perfomances, festivals etc. and also allows you to filter by city, type of event etc.

I'm curious to know if there's anything similar to other countries. It has helped me really a lot to stay active in the movement and meet like-minded people (especially since I dont have instagram and also dont use fb to check for events).

Edit: I just found out that kinimatorama is based on a specific software that is also used by other countries. They list the countries here https://demosphere.net/en

Also thanks to poVoq and wakest, I learnt about 2 other software for similar uses: https://lauti.org/ and https://gancio.org/instances

Hey y'all! Here we are reading and discussing Section A.3 of AFAQ this week, which is about the various types of anarchism!

Happy reading!

[Edit: We are 11 people interested so far!]

Anyone interested? It's very long in total (could be like 2k pages) and people probably dont read it linearly, but I figured it'd be cool to take up on it:)

So far, I'vs finished reading Section A and has been very informative. I've tried to keep notes of it in .md format here:

https://codeberg.org/BlastboomStrice/book-notes/src/branch/main/AFAQ-Summary.md

If this fails, maybe we could pick other smaller books, but me personally might not be able to participate (already reading afaq and another book).

This is a new feature they added:)

[Note: You may have to turn off labels from the overlay menu at top right]

I had accidentally come across a map without any labels or borders and made me search a bit about such maps.

It really is cool seeing the earth without any kind of human borders or labels, just a plain satellite view. I find it very calming:)

An other map without labels (apart from two pins that can be turned off from the bottom or left of the screen) is this one: https://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/No-label-map/jtlp6Ps5Re

You could try google earth pro and turn off every label/border etc.

I got an email today, so I searched it up a bit more. The link to the setting: https://m.facebook.com/help/contact/6359191084165019

PS. This is probably available only for users inside the EU

PPS. I know, ideally I wouldnt be using any of these services, but weighing the situation, it's probably better to use them than isolating myself from the people around me:/

Seems like the developer is back with a video update on the program's development.

Some points I understood:

• The developer made some rethinking of the whole project
• The node editor got a rewrite from C++ to C#, a higher level language, to make development easier (I think the filters themselves are in lower level language, it just affectst the node editor).
• With the rise of godot and video editors becoming 2D/3D pipelines, the developer based the rendering engine on godot.
• The developer wants to make the editor modular and easy to extend.
• The developer says that the following months will try to work on getting olive to a stable release:)

Supposing we have an open source android app, (how) could one convert it to a linux distro package? (Like for debian, nixos, etc.)

Android is essentially a linux distro if I get it correctly, a heavily modified one.

Many android apps are written with java and the newer ones tend to go with kotlin, which I think should be able to run cross-platform.

Would hard of an attempt would this be?

Edit: Thank you people! From what I gather android is very far from the rest of linux distros (practically having in common only a few parts of the kernel) and the fact that apps tend to be written in java/kotlin doesnt have much of a difference if they are not built in a way that makes the cross-platform compatible (like godot engine does). Those apps will probably need to do many system calls to the android OS, soI can't just compile them for a different architecture. I'd either need an android translation layer or an emulator to run them.

Unrelated, but cool to see some familiar usernames:)
