In 2018, I leveraged social media and most communications from devices to try to control where I focus on life. Every day I go on that task, in the light of the moth, because my curiosity is constantly looking for fresh information to help me understand reality. At that time I needed no alternative, in my case it was a detoxification work, driven by the need to regain reins in the future of my life. On the other hand, the environment had not happened to me anymore, the people and the organizations involved, guided by the passion of media power, not the knowledge. Ultimately, feeding these passions to the owners of social networks and technologies that promote business models designed for the degradation of the human species.

But I've reopened them, there's an alternative, a fanciful, a different way of making networks and using them. It does not promote any business model related to data, can access from different instances (servers) or create yours. They offer all the possibilities that the current networks of content and interviews have, with greater quality and ethics. Peertube.eus (alternative to Youtube for videos), pexelfed.eus (alternative to Instagram for photos) and mastodon.eus (alternative to X and Facebook for networks and Bluesky), and I find it easier to manage the attention I am asked for.

Maybe you're also thinking about networks, maybe you're clear about the sense of use, but you don't want to promote everything behind it, you think something needs to be changed, but who's going to do that job? No, it will not be done by governments, nor by the owners of the platforms, which in recent weeks have declared that hate speech in those spaces, which is very profitable for their business, will not be preserved. Governments also seem lost. Therefore, each one will have to decide, and in case of doubt, seek help, for example goazenlagunok.eus. I'm already on the other side; if you come to the ugly side, you see yourself there.

'Shop like a billionaire'

An ad jumps on my mobile in a long time. He promises to color my world. They say that with this app I will be able to buy like the millionaires. Cheap products, very cheap, even free. They have played on the marketing target that the sociological historical moment demands. This... [+]


Zer erosi?

Azken boladan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu gazte askok etxebizitza erosteko ahalmenik ez dugula. Batzuetan, badirudi ez dagoela beste gairik; egia da gai serioa dela. Niri neuri ere, 31 gertu izan arren, oraindik pixka bat falta zait neurea izango den etxebizitza lortzeko... [+]


The fraud of internationalization

There are concepts that appear everywhere during certain periods, which also become mantras. They appear to us in a positive and necessary way, without too much debate and without thinking about them. It seems to me that one of these mantras is internationalization, which has... [+]

Pictures of Porcelana Irabia

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]


Izena duenak badu izena

Bai, bai, holaxe. Ez naiz harago joatera menturatzen. Pleonasmo bat dela? Tautologia bat agian? Baliteke, baina egia-oste deitzen dioten garai honetan, oinarri-oinarrizko egitateak beharrezkoak dira. Begira, bestela, “Ez da ez!” lelo indartsuari. Bagenekien hori... [+]


Guggenheim Urdaibai: who listens to whom and for what?

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]


In defense of Labraza
"(The purpose of the Oion Plenary) is clear, to legitimize by law the energy megaprojects with significant irregularities in the processing"

Last Wednesday we had a hard and unpleasant day, not only for Labraza, but also for all the towns where we are threatened by a wind,... [+]

Reflecting on the present of yesterday’s philosophers

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]


Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]


Harreman publiko-komunitario-kooperatiboak eraikitzeaz

Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]

Deprotection of overprotection

We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]


The legacy of the depressed Despremu

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]

Etxegabetzeen aurrean, irabazteko antolatu

Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
