The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb, which then exploded in use to spread everywhere. The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.…
Let’s talk about the hashtag story
Hey, changemakers! Are you tired of shouting into the void on social media? Frustrated with the endless noise and the lack of impact? It’s time to harness the power of #hashtags to fuel a movement that can actually make a difference. And guess what? The #openweb is our playground for this revolution! Check out The…
Talking about the #geekproblem in funding
Q. #nlnet – The problem we face with funding http://hamishcampbell.com/2022/06/06/the-problem-we-face-with-funding/ A. KiCAD, some warrant canary and Armbian aren’t “open internet” projects by any stretch of imagination, but the ones relating to routers and mesh networks are. They’re “open internet” at the infrastructure level – like Guifinet or Freifunk. Q. yep and are useful for a…
A conversation on trust/control in social technology
Q. In a nutshell, my manifesto could be “form your own little communities and federate them” A. What would be the “common” understanding/agreements/standards that would bridge these communities, or would it Only be code, if only code what standards? Q. Federation just depends upon the willingness to do so. The code is just the plumbing…
An example of the #geekproblem
An example of the #geekproblem Everything we do is built on “standards” though we do have a problem of the defining bodies. Some people like building sandcastles, it is what you are doing if you just make shit up in tech. Actually this is fantasy as ANYTHING you are already building is already on top…
How to fix the damege to the #openweb from the influx of #mainstreaming funding
We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”. The best #openweb funders I have found recently https://nlnet.nl/ who have money from NGI Zero which is from the EU https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki/Funding-of-openweb-projects To fix some of these…
The #hashtags are from a “prospective” thus push rejection from people outside that perspective.
The verticals are unthinking in their higherarckeys, this makes the “value” of the horizontals to be a negative thing. The horizontals hate the “power” playing of the verticals and take every messier to block their outcomes. The world is actually one of balance, where both views have roles and values that shift in relation to…
Invisible agenda on the #openweb
A. #NGIforum21 #NGI #EU It’s not “usability” its “control” – the #dotcons are built for control the #eurocrates need, the #openweb tools which work fine is for people to people. The #openweb tools do not have the control that the #Eurocrats need to move onto our tools and be a part of our community. This…
Influx of EU funding into the Fediverse
#Openweb – all together push through, the HARD block crumbles. Getting a good outcome is hard… feeling this influx of EU funding is going to do damage and little good to the #Fediverse health if it keeps funding as its current agenda. Though the Fediverse is drifting from its own lifestyle mess… Let’s try and…
Social media is a drug, we need to stop the self/movement harm now #OMN
Facebook is nothing to do with anarchy, it was set up to sell people’s attention to advertisers, so it’s actually about social control as are all #dotcons #failbook algorithms are defined to create divisions and arguments, so best not to talk about core activist things on here. Just give the clear, simple outreach messages…
