Für die Lange Nacht der Museen in Berlin gibt's natürlich auch digitale Tickets. Allen Android Nutzer-innen die sonst nicht so viel über digitale Wallets nachdenken und noch keine App dafür haben, kann ich meine Favoritin empfehlen: Catima.
Was ich toll finde: Dunkles Design und Barrierefreiheit für Nutzer mit Sehbeeinträchtigung, Open Source, ohne Internet nutzbar, einfach Nutzung ohne Anlegung eines Nutzerkontos.

#Germany and #France are CRUCIAL—if they oppose, the law fails. Pressure them now!

This isn’t just about “privacy for criminals.” It’s about whether liveinng in a free society or a surveillance state.

14 gespendete #Laptops haben die #Butimba#Primary#School in #Mwanza, #Tansania erreicht.
Aber es fehlen noch #Schulmöbel, um die Laptops darauf zu stellen. Aktuell lernen die Kinder noch auf dem Boden.
So hat sich Flugpate Gundolf spontan bereit erklärt, Tische und Stühle zu sponsern und vor Ort anfertigen zu lassen. So wird das lokale Handwerk gleich mit gefördert.
