It’s good that people try not to push pointless tech projects… And the majority of new tech projects are obviously pointless. To get an idea of what to push do a #4opens review and publish this, let’s build a community of useful tech together. We need to do better. #techchurn has made so much #techshit…
Hope is a swift flow and the strong current that pushes change/challenge
Talking to the #EU crew Hope is a swift left wing flow and the strong current that pushes change/challenge. Simple truth telling is a deep upwelling, the spring that feeds this fresh flow. We need to nurture truth and hope in every part of our society, both our tribalism and bureaucracy are part of this…
The mess we need to step away from
#NGO crew are wannabe hierarchical who hide in plain site inside every grassroots movement, they push “common-sense” agenda to “tidy” the mess that is essential to horizontal organisation. If/when the NGO crew take “power” they slowly kill the organisations they “care” for. This has happened to just about every alt org I have been involved…
A talk goes off topic – what is an #ecryptionist is illustrated.
Q. Grumpy old geeks have a valid point of view http://scripting.com/2021/04/02/145549.html?title=pleadingForStallman Pleading for Stallman A. but no TLS. Q. this is a valid point of view too http://scripting.com/2014/08/08/myBlogDoesntNeedHttps.html My blog doesn’t need HTTPS A. It’s a valid point that Google and Amazon have monopolist interests and are trying to enforce them. Nevertheless, TLS is an…
This is a way of stepping away from the post-truth would
Please look at the underlining agender BEFORE pushing “new” ideas, please. * Conservatism/right wing is based on fear and the resulting desire for control. * Progressive/left wing is based on cooperation and trust, with the resulting desire for freedom. Yes, this is muddled by right wing agender to push their lies. Don’t be a…
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…
History’s of #indymedia are full of academic wank
The Problem of Academics Covering Activism, in activism, particularly within grassroots movements like #Indymedia, there is a significant disconnect between academic interpretations and the realities on the ground. This gap is not a matter of perspective but represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the dynamics and operational mechanisms of activist movements. The disconnect, academics gravitate towards…
On outreach of OMN and indymedia reboot
Q. I’m not interested in doing that, as I don’t know what it is you are actually proposing. Apart from using hashtags and talking about #deathcult I don’t actually understand your plan? What I haven’t heard is a practical way of hosting and distributing alt media. Visionontv turned into a mess, just as Indymedia did.…
A look at the internal mess of the uk indymedia project
The project i like to point to as an example. The indymedia project, an early alt-media network that spread the use of open source software and #4opens organizing around the world at the turn of the century. In the UK the was a #geekproblem vs #openweb fight that became nasty over what we would now…
A message for my #dotcons frends
When people deny the history of reposabilerty then they deny reality and join the “post truth world” of Trump and Boris. The majority of my #failbook friends are both sad and bad on this subject as they don’t remember the times they argued that the #dotcons were not evil and cat memes were the right…
Talking about rebooting openweb media
Its too easey to talk cross purpose about actavisam, media and tech if the is any understaning at all most are talking about the end of indymedia and what came after, am talking about the start of indymedia and what came before. A simple misunderstanding that is surprising hard to bridge. There are now millions…
