I start to understand the misunderstanding, blocking many of the people outreaching the #OMN. It’s a DIY project there is the assumption that people will see the need and fill in the missing bits. The “missing bits” have a function, to be filled in otherwise we would be pushing clean non-messy #dotcons world view which…
On the wider subject of this thread, Identity politics and the agender it pushes
In the face of growing #climatechaos and our attention being trapped inside the #dotcons, I see most people as complete fantasists and see the worship of the #deathcult as their main motivation. In the next 5–10 years, I see a lot of BLOCKING and lots of blowing of smoke to cover this behaver. I live…
Been takeing part in online #openweb events – and resisting the urge to bite people.
Looking at this event https://2021.ngiforum.eu Way to meany stuffed shirts, technological fantasists (blockchain) and a lot of #EU money what could go wrong… Spent a hour looking through the list of participants opening in new tab all that said something interesting. Of these more than 2/3’s had the tag blockchain so closed them, and then…
The geekproblem – humanity’s and science
Coding projects that come from the humanity’s general fail as they are not technically coherent and build out from abstract ideas without real relevance to lived humanity, they are too disconnected to become relevant to communertys of use. Coding from science tend to fail because they are inhuman, and are built for mashions. They serve…
outreaching ActivityPub to the EU – draft
This was an interesting process playing a role to do the document – outreaching ActivityPub to the EU https://pad.public.cat/p/ngi0-ec-activitypub-liaison-presentation-2021-04-19#/13 Good to get an outcome from this: #activertypub as a cross-platform standard for #dotcons who operate in EU funding to further this – we would need democratic structures in the #fedivers style to make this real…
We need working home hosting.
Think we currently have a pile of shit for home hosting tech. Might have to break my #nothingnew pledge as the is literally nothing normal people can use/do. Plan/idea/focus? Nothing is useable – have tried them all. Good to start from where we are we need to stop going round in circles and start to…
A conversation
The children of Thatcher and Reagan are limited in their world views – they have been brought up and nurtured in the neo-liberal #deathcult and have limited experience in the nurturing and socialisation of anything else. Academic and book learning are a poor substitute for evolving in a non #deathcult era, so it is no…
If you look at contemporary programming
I don’t think our coders have ANY understanding of the damage they have done and are doing. The state is full of monsters. In closed the monsters can plot and destroy/divide and control because there is no way to make a judgment you cannot have social “truth” in closed. With open the monster are more…
That would be a battle worth of a saga
Challenges the #fedivers faces and were next. The #twitter #bluesky thing comes from #blockchain crap – but don’t think it will end there – they will likely come up with a “new” standard that will #fashernista flash then promptly be forgotten. Would be interesting if they tried to colonize #activertypub we would see a wholesale…
hashtag storys #4opens
Q. While I agree with everything you wrote in that post, I don’t get how that illustrates the geekproblem. Is the #geekproblem the same as the #encryptionists? A. The #geekproblem is illustrated here http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2021/03/06/over-the-last-10-years-we-have-been-told-a-lie/ Q. In one post you wrote that the geek problem is replacing trust with control. That immediately communicated clearly to me.…
Thinking about #OMN from 4 years ago
I have found memories of fighting the Power Politics of the “undead left” during the London Social Forum many years ago – lots of knotted strings of organic garlic around the top “taking the power table” to highlight the uncomfortable “undead left´s” grasping for power. Then the ad hock crew taking away the top table…
