Some ideas on how to avoid big tech
I am very proud to say that I managed to #degoogle, install and run @postmarketos.org on a Pixel 3a 👌 And it works with #Phosh interface!

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)
We are proud to support this journey alongside our partners, the adidas Foundation and the South Sudan Association of Visually Impaired (SSAVI), using sport to promote inclusion across South Sudan.
This is a historic moment for a team competing in a sport that only arrived in South Sudan five years ago. Their success is a strong reminder of the power of inclusive sports.
Yona Sabri Ellon opened the scoring from the penalty spot (his fifth goal of the tournament) before captain Martin Ladu Paul added two more to seal the victory.
The team now advance to the Division 1 African Championship next year, the next step on the path to the Paralympics in 2028.

Congratulations to Team South Sudan for showing what inclusive sport can achieve, and best of luck for the final match!
On scoring South Sudan's first ever international goal in blind football, striker Yona Sabri said: “It shows the whole world that South Sudan does well at inclusive sports, where no one should be left behind because of disability.”
In their opening matches, the team delivered outstanding performances — winning 3–0 against Uganda and 2–0 against Zimbabwe. The victories mean South Sudan has earnt a place in the Division 1 African Championship, bringing them one step closer to the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
