This year's topic was decoding digital colonialism.
This session was particularly improvised as the original plan was to share a dialogue with @hellais on open technologies to guarantee human rights. Enjoy!
"Barbarela" is surely the oddest station name of the Malaga Metro. Most of the stations are rather predictably named after the barrios they serve, but there is no barrio called Barbarela.
It's tempting to invent a sequence of random events in which the 1960s comic book character played by Jane Fonda somehow ends up inspiring the name of a metro station in a Spanish provincial city.
But invention is not required: it turns out that really is what happened.
#Spain’s Catalonia Is Spending $2.6 Billion to Survive Without Rain
#Catalonia, home to Barcelona, is building desalination plants. #Andalusia in the south is reducing water pressure "in an attempt to reduce consumption by 20%. If no rain falls next spring, it will require tanker ships to deliver water over the summer."
"#Andalucia’s reservoir levels are operating at just 22.21% of their capacity – #Malaga’s reservoirs are only 15.75% full, whilst #Almeria’s reserves have fallen to below 9%, the lowest level of any province in #Spain."
Son los Premios #DeVuego, que son unos reconocimientos al #videojuego español y prensa especializada. Y os vengo a dar LA TURRA. Estoy en algunas categorías para votar (comunicadora audiovisual, comunicadora absoluta, redactora web).
Yesterday, for the first time, I did something that used to be common for train travellers in the south of Spain, but is now almost an anachronism: I changed trains in Bobadilla.
This used to be an important transfer point. (Irish readers, think "the Limerick Junction of Andalusia" ). That role has now almost totally passed to nearby Antequera Santa Ana. But if you know your way around the timetable, a few connections per day are still possible here.
Malaga - Pearl of the Costa Del Sol

The pearl of the Costa del Sol, is a city in #Andalusia, and is the fifth largest city in Spain as well as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. #Malaga has a rich history dating back over 3,000 years; it was inhabited by the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Muslims, people who, each in their own way, left their mark on the architecture, culture and gastronomy of the city.
And it is on a hot and sultry day that we are preparing to visit the splendid Andalusian city; after managing to park our tall Doblo in the car park under the Plaza de Toros, thanks to the few centimeters that separate the roof of our camper from the... disaster.
The Menga dolmen is an ancient burial mound located near #Antequera, #Málaga, Spain. It has been dated to approximately 5,700 years ago and is one of the largest known #megalithic structures to be built in #Europe.
Nobody told the people of Spain that having your city centres almost exclusively pedestrianised kills business (according to lobbyists in Dublin, Galway and so on).
Shops still open at 21:45 and booming, restaurants too and the streets full. #Malaga#pedestrian#traffic#urbanism

"Regnet es nicht bald ergiebig, ist im März 2024 das Trinkwasser an den Küsten Málagas aufgebraucht, melden Hydrologen der Landesregierung Andalusien trocken. Bis dahin versucht sich die Costa del Sol weiter mit Flickwerk am Wasser sparen und hofft auf rettende Lösungen."

"30 Grad im November: Spanien mit Rekord-Temperaturen - und weiter ohne Regen"
weite Teile von Südeuropa werden wegen des Klimawandels in absehbarer Zeit unbewohnbar werden, sei es wegen der hohen Temperaturen oder aus Wassermangel. Wissenschaftler haben diesen Effekt des Klimawandels schon seit längerem vorausgesagt.
