Ein positiver Trend: In der Steiermark ist der Stromverbrauch aus dem öffentlichen Netz in den letzten drei Jahren um sieben Prozent zurückgegangen. Ermöglicht haben das privat betriebene Photovaltaikanlagen und Stromspeicher. Beides ist seit einigen Monaten auch in meinem Elternhaus im Einsatz. #Photovoltaik #Energiewende

@Catwoman69y2k
I checked the "nonexistent" option, assuming that's what it meant.
@d1
Only one I have is gmail. I haven't used it or checked in years, but I keep it cause... The idea was "Just in case...", but if I'm not checking it, I'm not sure what the point is.
I have a yandex account I used for special purposes, but those are no longer relevant, so it's either idling, or culled by yandex.
I actively abandoned reddit during the api fiasco. On my main "social media" which was old school forums, I ditched a couple cause they made me look bad. Trump fuckery specifically
I have a new mail account that I just started using, but it will likely take me a year to fully move everything to that new account or otherwise sort out what doesn't need to be moved.
While I try my best to avoid the Google app store, being an android user makes wholesale use of another app market difficult, though I have been using f-droid wherever possible.
I rarely use LinkedIn, but in north America it is difficult to avoid while job searching, which I am, unfortunately
@crabbypup Lots of the stuff that's only on the big app stores is ad supported or store/commercial apps whose true purpose is tracking. You don't want to be the product for anyone else.
You may PRODUCE a product such as media, but you don't want to BE the product.
You could do a follow-up post with additional / different poll options.
Generally though: look at what the largest social networks are, and figure how many of those you want to list. After the first five or so it's largely moot. Power-law relationships mean that participation falls off rapidly after considering the market leaders. Meta (FB/Insta/WA), Alphabet (Google, Gmail, Android, YouTube), TikTok, WeChat.
Listing by MAU (2025): statista.com/statistics/272014….
Market leader Facebook was the first social network to surpass one billion registered accounts and currently sits at more than three billion monthly active users.Statista
like many have said, I dont have control over linkedin and facebook, and I never had whatsapp, instagram accounts.
And I dont see amazon in that list, and amazon is a giant pile of invasive, labor exploiting, planet destroying shit. We havent used amazon since 2014.
And no more google, period, including THE SMARTPHONE. No smartphones in our home. No bullshit ISP appliance routers on my counter, either. I run my own router.
@jjdavis Gizmodo (and related sites), Digg, Reddit, Twitter…
I never signed up for Facebook or related sites, now under the umbrella of Meta.
Nothing at all! And yet they are that: an alternative. You have to go against the network effect.
Not so with mail. There's no disadvantage at all beyond a little work and potentially a little money to moving off gmail. You can still send mails to and receive mails from all other gmail users.
That's unique among the list given in the poll, and yet it has the fewest people moving off (in this sample).
FB: left
Gmail: Left, on one of my domains now
Whatapp: in the US so I never used it
Phone's unverified/non-google, no Insta, nothing else, really.
If I wanna hang out with someone I just bug them then go hang out. If anyone reading isn't aware they could still do that, you can. It's ok.
“Brave and courageous”
“For science”
🙄
And then the replies are full of people patting themselves on the back for quitting X social network or being so cool they never joined in the first place.
If I’m not on LinkedIn I have no work. But I guess it would be very “brave” to go hungry for purity or some shit.
Our cat shelter group is coordinating on WhatsApp. Guess I’ll be “courageous” and stop volunteering. Or, sure, convince dozens of people with busy lives to switch to Signal.
This framing is so f… irritating.
@clarissawam How do cats end up in that shelter? Might it be because people abuse/abandon the cats?
Do you think it’s a valid excuse for people to abuse animals just because they have ”busy lives”?
@TheFrirish it sure is tricky but I just remind myself that Whatsapp = Zuckerberg and it gets easier.
Like you, I've tried to convert extended family to other options (my preferred msg app is Signal) with very limited success.
I never had accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, so I didn't check those.
@d1
I dropped Facebook in the run up to Trump I. I've never had Instagram or WhatsApp. I tried LinkedIn ages ago (before I even moved to China!) and ... it did nothing for me so I dropped it. I've never had a Google App account.
Sadly I still have a Gmail account, but never actually use it for email except for some legacy accounts where it's too much a pain in the ass to change my confirmation address.
I had a linkedin on my old company email and after I got laid off I lost access to it
that being said even when I did have access to it I never checked it lmao
wow, the numbers are low :/
(I still have a gmail account, all others closed ages ago)
i wouldnt use google at all. but one of the projects i am involved in ist entirely run on that
chat, mail,drive
that sucks
Most of these I never had in the first place. Facebook I burned in 2012.
Google. Grrr, I bought a Moto g13 when my previous phone died. iPhone was of course completely out of the question and I didn't want a Samsung because of what they were doing to 3rd party repairers.
Turns out the Moto g13 was developed when Google owned Motorola (I didn't know this) and the fucking thing is a stealth Googlephone. *Everything* on it is Google app and it only links to the Google app store 😩
Really, I was happier with my old pre-smartphone Nokia.
99% is rather optimistic.
Google is Hotel California. Try deleting all pictures from Google Phote WITHOUT deleting them from your phone.
(It can be done, but it's way down in the small print.)
Alle sagen ich brauche LinkedIn
Bisher ging es noch ohne.
Würde es eine gute Alternative geben!?
Ich nutze gmail weil ich nicht Weiss wie ich das umgehen kann.
Es läuft nichts relevantes darüber. Also ca 10 Prozent.
Ist link. auch so ein Datenkrake das man ein eigenes Handy dafür braucht!?
I've got news for anyone who thinks their Facebook account doesn't exist anymore...
I closed my account early (like 2012ish?). Got a stupid we are sorry to see you go email from them confirming it was done. Partner could confirm I was not listed anymore on Facebook. About 10 years later I started getting password reset attempt notifications. After a lot of these I went and logged in. Just logged in, everything is still there.
I'm now maintaining the login just to avoid identity theft.

I think the Cookie Banner is a good think.
There shall be just a little change for the "reject all" option to be pre-selected.
Removing all cookies sound wrong. Especially if there are features for interconnecting services with the main service. There are good use-cases for cookies.

The one feature I miss from Facebook messenger was that anyone can set the name for anyone else in a given chat
Was an extremely stupid feature but a lot of fun. Would it be possible to add a setting for "who can set labels for a given user" in chats in addition to the existing "who can have a member label" one? (Self/admins/anyone)

Das Jubiläumsrelease des Linux-Desktops Gnome befreit sich endgültig von uraltem X-Server-Code, bietet sonst aber vor allem graduelle Verbesserungen.Marvin Shah (heise online)
> Under the hood, the foundations for web filtering support has also been added — a backend service that can enforce content filters for child accounts once the user interface is completed in future updates, allowing age‑appropriate web restrictions without breaking web security or relying on curated lists.
Oh why Ubuntu took over Gnome... 😞
I've used #Gnome since it was added to Ubuntu, with some customisation to make it more traditional Windows task bar style. I love the multiple desktop support which helps me manage and switch between tasks (with shortcuts tweaked to move windows between each etc). Brave & LibreFox repopulate all the desktops after a reboot. Very slick.
I don't like that you've added content filtering, and the "to protect children" narrative really grates.
Today we released GIMP 3.2 with major new features, including vector layers, link layers (smart objects), DDS BC7 export, better PSD import including PSB for large images, MyPaint 2.0 brushes, and much more!

Really looking forward to upgrading to GIMP 3 for #CMYK support.
Today I was preparing a book cover with GIMP 2.1 and the CMYK separator plugin but it's pretty limited compared to what's coming in GIMP 3.
I love it when new software releases give you features you actually need instead of anti-features to extract more money. ❤️
Are those like linked smart objects? Layers that point to files? Because that is the single biggest feature that keeps me hogtied to Photoshop.
I sure hope it's possible to scale each linked layer in different ways. That's something that even Photoshop has not figured out how to do yet. I don't always want to use bicubic scaling. For example my pixel art requires nearest-neighbor scaling. My inking layers need to use bilinnear scaling to recreate traditional anti-aliasing.
please change the name to not a slur. I can't use this in a professional setting.
This and Source Extractor, but at least I can just use the full name for that
@Angelina you are welcome to file specific suggestions or issues on our UX repository, although “beautiful” is a bit subjective :)
GIMP is primarily aimed at people who will be using it often, which changes somewhat the meaning of “user-friendly” but we also are not tryin to make GIMP unfriendly.
On this International Day of Happiness, I hope you cultivate habits that bring you joy every day.

I think gnome is a great desktop environment for my living room PC. Great visibility from my couch, plus intuitive design.
Thank you, Gnome! :)
Gnome 50 looks great. I have heard that session restore is not yet part of the release. Do you know, if it is an experimental feature or if it hasn't been included at all. If the latter, do you guess it will come with 50.x or rather 52?
Bull's Eye! Noch eine Trophäe, die ich mir in Blue Prince verdient habe. Es geht voran und dennoch bin ich immer noch der Meinung, dass ich etwas Entscheidendes übersehe. Knifflig.
Update-Tag, Teil 2. Meine Nextcloud-Instanz läuft jetzt auch auf der aktuellsten Version 32.0.5.
Es ist Update-Tag. social.hp-gauster.name läuft jetzt auf der brandneuen Version 2026.01 von Friendica. Ein großes Dankeschön an alle, die an der Entwicklung beteiligt waren.
Temperaturen knapp über dem Nullpunkt haben den Lauf heute beinahe schon vergleichsweise angenehm gemacht.
