You work in tech. You regularly have to input some form of MFA, whether passkey or a rolling code MFA from something like Google Authenticator or Authy. You work from home, and slack is the primary form of communication, with email becoming a distant secondary form. Time AFK (Away From Keyboard) is possible if you have your #smartphone, and you panic if it's not within reach.
How do you go to a #dumbphone, in this scenario? I would like to ditch my smartphone, carry a camera on #bike trips, reduce my #addiction to the internet a bit, reduce the #surveillance of my activity a bit.
My main concern is work requirements for communication and MFA. I am curious about things like #grapheneos, #fairphone, dumbphones. I have a Google #Pixel, an older model, and definitely don't want something newer that has more #AI integration, surveillance.
Have you done this? How did it go? Please boost.
Great idea! #Chicago is repurposing old newspaper boxes to create "little free libraries" of Narcan in areas with high overdose rates.

Medical bias is killing addiction patients — safe treatments exist but doctors refuse to offer them
https://www.npr.org/2026/08/06/nx-s1-5845162/addiction-treatment-overdose-deaths
Addiction treatments are safe, effective — and rarely offered to patients. That's because many doctors and nurses still view people with alcohol or drug addiction with suspicion and hostility.

📣 If You Can Help Them, Don’t Hurt Them
I’m on my way to volunteer at the New England Center and Home for Veterans here in Boston.
➡️ It’s a reminder that when we see someone who may be experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, or active addiction, we’re seeing a human being. They could be a veteran, someone’s father, mother, son, daughter, grandparent, or loved one — someone who belongs to somebody.
I’ve been homeless before. The only reason I was able to rebuild my life was because people believed in me and gave me hope.
➡️ If you’d like to support the NECHV, they always welcome volunteers, donations, and community engagement at https://nechv.org
🗣️ At the end of the day, we have more in common than not. If you can help someone, don’t hurt them.

Coupe du Monde : les pubs pour les paris sportifs sont omniprésentes. Mais avez-vous vu ou entendu ce clip de prévention sur les dégâts liés aux paris ? Non ? Normal : les régies publicitaires ont refusé à Addiction France de le diffuser. C’est une forme de censure — ripostons en le partageant à leur place.

All of this is reason to end the #oil #addiction
API gravity tells us how light or heavy the oil is.
• US WTI: ~40° API — light, golden, and easier to refine
• Iran Light: ~34° API
• Russia Urals: ~31° API
• Venezuela: ~8–12° API — extremely heavy, like tar
Oil quality plays a major role in global energy economics and politics — not just the amount of oil a country has.
The lighter the crude, the cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. Heavier crude requires more refining.

"Fracasse est un ouvrage collaboratif hybride fait de textes et d’images en tous genres. Il vise à questionner ouvertement les liens entre l’alcool et nos vies en prenant soin de s’épargner au maximum le jugement moral et les a priori portés sur ces questions.
24 contributeur·ices, artistes et amateur·ices ont participé à ce projet de plus de 60 pages qui contient également un fascicule de ressources pour mieux vivre avec ou sans alcool. Par la pluralité des expressions – BD, témoignages, poésies, illustrations, archives – qui y sont rassemblées, Fracasse tente avant tout d’ouvrir les voix et de sortir des schémas binaires et des positions de surplomb, pour se sentir un peu mieux, peut-être."
Un grand merci à @chdarling@mastodon.social, @lisiere@mastodon.social et Max Cahun d'avoir initié ce projet que je suis extrêmement content de pouvoir diffuser avec la BIM et dont la lecture m'a vivement enthousiasmé !
