'The Cloud Doesn't Exist' You can hear the first session of the Iametza podcast channel Baleafunk.eus in the free instance
- Iametza has launched a new channel on technology and above all on technological sovereignty ‘Hodeia ez da dago’. To spread it Baleafunk.eus has created a free and decentralized network to listen to music and podcasts.
Podcasta will open to the public once a month and will include technological news, reports, interviews, book recommendations and documentaries, and fiction, among other contents. The objective is to hold a publicity session in Basque, broadening the debates and moving away from qualified areas.
Iametza, a company of the ARGIA group that performs communication and website development services, has opened an instance to expand the session Baleafunk.eus. “We didn’t want the podcast that talks about technological sovereignty to be heard only on platforms like iVox or Spotify, because they’re centralized platforms and there’s no possibility of self-managing them.” So they've opened an instance in Euskera called Funkwhale.
Thus, as with Mastodon.eus, Iametza follows the logic of federated and free networks. At the moment, the contents of the Hodeia ez dago podcast and ARGIA podcast have been published in the Baleafunk instance, but the aim is to extend this platform to the community of Basque musicians and podcast using free licenses. Therefore, anyone interested can enroll in Baleafunk.

In spaces like the X, today, we will have to recognize that it is impossible to have a public debate and a cultural struggle. In this sense, a mistake is that political projects that intend to lead a leftist change leave platforms like X to make the leap to social networks that... [+]
