“We can build the web we want to see.” @molly0xfff kicked off XOXO 2024's conference with a hopeful talk about building Web3 Is Going Just Great, and how we can “push the web back towards the wonderful, joyful, beautiful place it used to be.” https://xoxofest.com/2024/videos/molly-white
@raph And people wonder why people criticise Israel. It's not a matter of being anti-semitic but rather being horrified of the actions of one people against another. It's simply inhuman.
Datacenters contain 90% crap data. We’re destroying our environment to store copies of copies of copies of stuff we have no intention of ever looking at again.

@_elena you should politely reach out to her with those thoughts. And then perhaps help her transition. :)
Did you know anarchists own a building in downtown #Montreal?
Yeah yeah, “property is theft”—but sometimes you gotta steal it back.
This spot has housed an anarchist bookstore, radical media, and generations of organizing and resistance. It's where I first found my Montreal peeps. Now it needs our help.

AI Label... what would you want it to say?
@hzulla @m @DarkOptimism @lillyfinch @mdione @PatternChaser @kkarhan @walkinglampshade @JR_Kelly @vic Like the sentiment. Ideas of how An AI badge description welcome.
And few notes:
- No need beg to Capitalism, you know the answer and why!
- You should just do it yourself !
(maybe I'll help).
We'll start with a few 'level' of AI which show a colour coded band of each levels inclusion for example:
🔴 - AI with live human-assisted filtering
⚫ -AI regenerated works within this work
- etc
Though we might be better assume all of it does and working that way to cutting tech out a bit more since it's industrial lef and therefore eventually hardwired.

Nothing strengthens #authority so much as #silence.
- Leonard De Vinci #Quote #Quotes
#Fascism #Fascist #Ignorance
#Silence #Silent #Politics #FreeSchool
This includes some non-fascist people who stay #silent and let things continue.
Ignoring things leads to Fascism... (even if you're not Fascist)
#Ignoring things leads to #Fascism... (even if not #Fascist)
So deliberately or not -the same result happens.
IF #people are not doing the #daily harmonising or understanding between people and micro-understanding things, then as fascist or not they are acting similar to a fascist who also isn't doing the harmonising or understanding work daily.
People that leave it to others, and close their ivory doors and metal gates at the end of the day thinking that goes anywhere than worse / allows others to continue doing badly.
@strypey Can you write some finding on it (it's just for me). Basically those individual people going through these apps are starting to find best of best which helps people get on board (or not - Delta Chat is quite good / revolution in itself for not many emails plain text and any-email-to-any-email style (if both have the app). Hadn't heard of Silence and even spooked me from the name as I was looking for #silence hashtag hoping for political pictures of "silence" or "silencing by mainstream media" or ignorant people that silently ignore / are political silently... leading to fascism... (what do you think of that as an interesting thing)
ooooh kay!
Thanks
Imagine a mobile text chat app that's a cross between Delta.Chat and Silence (defunct SMS app forked from early Signal);
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.smssecure.smssecure/
As well as being the mobile app for my personal email address, it could also replace my SMS app. With the capacity for E2EE text when the other person's app supports either AutoCrypt (or something based on the variant of Signal's protocol that Silence uses).
Digital Exile... Being left out digitally...? !
#Quote says it well:
💬 " I propose that in this context, a fear of #exile – that is, a fear of being left out, #overlooked, #ignored or#banished – can act as a #regulating #force that inverts the radial spatial dynamic of the #panopticon and shifts the responsibility for visibility, understood both in terms of competitive exposure and existential recognition, onto #workers.
As a consequence these workers enlist #digital #technologies to become #visible at the real or imagined organizational centre."

Unofficial Bio - I've been an ice cream, advertising, and software salesman, a manager in an emergency room, a software developer, and an entrepreneur...
@CharlieMcHenry Is the author on Fediverse?
I like the section "Unofficial Bio"
" Unofficial Bio
Let me get this off my chest... I've never been comfortable with the concept of having one specific role, job description, or #philosophy.
So far I've been an ice cream, advertising, and software salesman, a manager in an emergency room, a software developer, and an entrepreneur.
Outside of ways I've chosen to make money, I enjoy exploring an eclectic range of ideas, and creating new things.
This website, therefore, is an attempt to weave together the various strands of my life. "
Booked to see Cory Doctorow @pluralistic at Blackwells Bookshop Manchester on 02 July. I now have over two months to think of a halfway sensible question to ask.

Have you ever walked into a supermarket, pharmacy, or department store looking to buy a specific item, only to find the layout confusing? Perhaps you ended up aimlessly strolling around, purchasing other items? This is deliberate, and known as the Gruen Transfer. The 'Transfer' part is the moment that you, as a consumer surrounded by a deliberately confusing layout, lose track of your original intentions.
We've all experienced it, and now it's starting to consume the internet. #Internet #GruenTransfer #DarkWeb #WWW #Enshitification

(NEEDS & OFFERS SYSTEM)... THINGS TO DO... FOR YOU?
Trusting people to help more than the Trumps of the world?
==================================
LIST TO CONSIDER WRITING
for yourself and others to help:
==================================
NEEDS ➡️ Any personal problems / challenges / 'I could never know how to get to this point?'
(as a need)
People can send offers (things they might do daily anyway!)
OFFERS ➡️ what you like doing daily already and maybe separately what you want to do more of (even if it's a bit far off now - as a dream / low chance of it happening but as "need" you need to keep working on it in doing "something"
(as an offer)
Thanks - this helps see more your side and offer you a checklist as yes / no / maybe on your side after...
================================
SHORT INTRO TO THAT...
AND LONGER IF NOT HAPPY WITH THAT...
("things to do for you" in both meanings of that to do yourself and for others to help with that list which becomes part of the #ecosystem of helping itself for "US" as over more-human people, not just alone in a cold system.
So talking and doing more together IS FEEDING our own "system" and #mutuality grows as part of sending that to the world / #fediverse (even if that's just helping good people one-way and not wanting anything back).
Could be like "ok done" !
CONSIDER WRITING A LIST
(optionally more writing below if you don't see why saying and doing things is a better #ecosystem of trust rather than not trusting the Trump(s) out there surely not going to do it! )
================================
LONGER / EXPLAINED MORE:
People often don't get that when I ask what their problems / things-to-do are, because they think it's only their problem and not common relativity / systematic cause / humanistic things systems ignore) AND so whichever way you go or do things you MUST listen to people's things (or do the humanistic things) because the system or #Trump or whoever leader IS NOT GOING TO DO IT or listen! (shock horror
at ALL the people on these #Zuckerberg / #Musk / #Bezos etc hashtags #begging / #hoping for top leaders to stop extracting / plundering from planet / people).
⛔ Stop that waiting. ⛔
️ ➡️ ✉ Send needs / offers ✉ ⬅️
So either way it's up to us to clean our laundry and even me to clean your boxer shorts! (I mean at least AIM to do something about everything and help ourselves/you/me do it alone after initial spark given at the start or just plain #handholding and saying 'done' at the end. It's not for everyone but I'm here for you.
#Tech people often don't get this unless it's like installing Linux for people... but it's similar in all parts of life...
So handholding in other ways means "I'm shit at this so feel free to do it for me and I'll see what I can do for others in same way"
#Payitforward style (and developing people not just tech)
I tend only to think in the now and 'me and you' and once I / we find similar I think that is the way. (just two more people honestly is enough... there's plenty <of our own work> to do (not the work of others / bad people).
The whole design of 'giving' anything to people as it is to take more from them in the end and so that's why everything you do away from people will cancel out the benefits or usage (even food) as the level / growth of people stagnate and systems become more killer efficient. It's Mind over Material Matter (we did enough Material and now people 'matter' more).
So lay our you lifetime's worth of 'things to do' and 'shit to fix' and hope someone will come along to fix it :)
And I'm available to fix your stuff or get it done seriously if you think you'll never do it (seriously seriously I can sorting text / files / editing / rearranging / donkey work if it helps get you to step 2 or 10 like a good garage clean out helps sort all other projects after that's done. Put your shame aside, Trump is winning meantime #friendships are not made (or even our shit is not done as fast as their #ENshitification actually spelt with two T's in the middle / 3 in total #ENshittification ).
DO IT NOW / ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF #FreeSchool #THINGSTODO
Boost / bookmark BUT don't forget (which is why anything now is better than nothing and I'll have a look)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes from #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites all around #DIY Care# and #Caring as our main #Politics / #Politics

"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
