I think gig working services are a great example of how capitalism's main point of innovation is making things worse in every way imaginable, while convincing people to just kind of deal with it.

It went from you could call your local takeout, they'd offer free deliver within a certain range, then you just tip some high school kid $6.

Now you get doordash, who charge the restaurant a 30% commission, which the restaurant passes on to you. then you pay a service fee, delivery fee, benefits fee, credit card fee, coming up with new fees fee, and a tip on top of that.

Then, despite the delivery costing more than my entire order, the driver makes less than minimum wage, my food arrives cold, and the restaurant takes the heat for any delivery issues.

I've got to the point where I've just started stealing gig workers. I offer to pay them directly to run errands for me. They make more than the service/agency pays them, I save money not funding some techbro's yacht, and they do a better job because there's an ongoing relationship.

Trust Building with genuine #Anonymous + Feedback system 

1/ Building with genuine /

2/# Feedback
and in etc

While it's good to do some questioning and inquiry, reading of the last few posts to judge someone, looking at their avatar etc... you can't expect to understand everything connected in a short and in a non-deep way... That would lead us only to a newer Twitter ;)

So yes allow a bit of strange or weird (which is actually often the "new" or unique) sometimes / often.

No one person trusting anyone or using the job title as a kind of filter is also meanwhile not useful because it's not building trust properly by yourself ( by your not practising it or being too protective online without Capitalistic labels )...

You have people that don't answer some people based on avatar which is being too sensitive while they might put their name and address everywhere somehow trusting everyone else in the world!!...
(not going to name who but it's quite hypocritical because online is a lot safer as any real risk and more people are just scared of a user online without educating themselves).

Trust-as-you-go is also possible and means things are totally blind or totally "anon" (take a deep breath!). Even if I say I am this or that as / / / then still by what I say and do online, what I and other boost and have done with others IS tangible -

You can feel free to question that if you cannot just work positively forward as 'best we can' and with constant clarity as main parity check along the way publicly as safety somewhat and privately...

MY FURTHER IDEAS & THOUGHTS AS CHECK AUTHENTICATION (somewhat)

One or more people can make tangible trust between those others that have already talked to / experiences with and can prove for others they are ok or at basical communicable level

And even dox them or their actions if really really really needed. It's like more community eyes on us where pointing fingers also is a judge on you (rather than silent judgement people don't see and is your error in withholding / not giving trust / Ubuntu but in negative form).

Most people don't want to do do bad or have reasons we need to sort anyway... even or genre in general are amazingly honest and obvious flavours and still truthful to themselves at least so not bad at that level either - actually very clever too usually and diverse in creation and even truth. Honest in that (even clear racists) are helpful to see online and serves them too with outlet usually without violence if it does then we need to know about it too which trusting more does)

We accept somewhat distrust but as part of building from where we're at can use all people willing and accept filtering and even openly justifying why...

New blogpost: "Running presentations from a standalone Linux installation on a bootable USB memory stick"

tl;dr: A Linux installation on a USB stick, onto which I can copy my presentation slides, so that I can boot my laptop from that USB stick when I come to give a presentation, thereby leaving my actual drive (and thus my documents, email etc) encrypted.

Why on earth didn’t I think of this sooner?!

Why haven’t I seen other people who present a lot talking about something like this. Am I missing something?

AI doesn't "learn" anything — people/companies steal data, aka artistic labor (including my books, audiobooks, covers) and use it to train the machine so they can profit from the work they stole.

And the people who profit from that, who enjoy using the fruits of the stolen labor, are Big Mad when they have any kind of possible accountability.

DEEPER VERSION BELOW
FOR THOSE ABLE TO BELIEVE....

This audible version says my heart what many of us say in various ways, which I can accept is a better interpretation or needed as various medium to bridge to each other. Audio shows underlying and even main problems of why problems continue (!)

Again many ways can lead to similar ways but the same / ID ways online can often lead but it's "safety" to the same limited bad ways for 'good' 'spam-free' filters people's brain does online... all this is great for for States and System's when people reveal themselves online (Scholars I understand a bit more if out there or career making) but often assume there is no other way and makes it too easy for Capitalism to see / pin comms, and then work on preventing them. I could give you examples but jail time for speaking out (without violence, without much) is actually enough evidence itself (unless you don't believe there are people sitting in jail now too easily from their own evidence - could have been a bit better and assumed one day it would come to that).

Much like a wing-man or wife speaking for their partner, people like Shaun Chamberlain @DarkOptimism (whose work I really recommend) are needed to talk for us (and OK more credible as representative of principles / not titles as much as that shows some skill) and show others a more accepting or measured way to get us all there and what we anon feel excluded from and able to do (if not block us after!).

Shaun helps people see and bridge their own gaps (it is your gap not mine but I don't mean everyone listed here or that I'm perfect).

But you're able to do more with me / other / anon people, spam-looking even who still hold logic, persistence, usable energy etc and include them and not just ignored based on pseudo-name, nickname, username,... or dodgy looking links you don't even test

Not people defining themselves by capitalism's "work", not just in tech (where it can help see another pure coder) but everywhere now less are doing the caring work and head in computers (the hard stuff and what coders might be avoiding / running from because we are reliably imperfect - and human, but doesn't make us bad or helping humanity get better by not doing more of or coding ever more disposable code). Humans also transfer many things reliably and in the now.

Robotic and too safe / sterile
= less trust, friendship, practise, ...

Not doing the deeper human work then yes you're part of a culture in decline...

...yes even without name or passport control or answering adequately "where are you from?' questions... all of that can be too much now we are culturally / historically raped, all mixed or sterilised in some form, or just disconnected. And wish to focus on other stuff first... maybe even therapy of all that along the way for everyone...

We shed identity of Capitalism's kind and Capitalism also raised the bar of being complicit in 'system' / types of uncaring

🛂 ID is the same copy and paste for uncaring Capitalism as a conditional start (and end) to everything, so make note of that. 📔

Those questions are even not so needed (but ok if some want to answer but accept some don't) We also most certainly will offer it later don't worry - just not in your order currently.

You need to have better faith than me at least- and if you don't - justify it... so that our survival in the future isn't just about people who didn't try with genuine people (assume 99% are or testable as-you-go to understand what their type IF it not clear from profile or first messages).

Can't ignore anonymous real responsive logical people, activists who know what we use online, and good reason for being protective (nothing to do with you directly) and yes almost a curse we have on ourself to bare like not having Facebook but hold highest principle of self-protection from system holding close because we know data collecting and mapping and whatever is all future 'prevention' in the making from our comms and *IDentifying* people.

Repeat this audio a few times.
And find more chance for us to do more. Or tell me more why now.
Thank you.

WITH "more anonymous" in mind people like me .... i.e. Less defined by role in society (since anyway we are rejected) and less ID or less passport upfront means even don't understand a different version of - such that activist-scholars don't understand or want to understand other too well - which means they can't practise without psychological unrelaxedness even when a genuine anonymouse comes a long. Staying inside activist-scholar realms is also dangerously easy to shut down.
I could tell you how but I think those than almost dox themselves are also needed and part of it - each can work in their own way.

And instead play it so safe it can play our reasoning or even coming out of boxes and assumptions.

The reasonable expectation and interactions

Because I / we are frequently ignored based on prejudice of holding back our exact identity or profession (we are protective from system more than anything but doesn't mean we want to attack everyone we contact and profile says a lot about a person which make us no totally anon / random / without principle)

The value of being yourself more than your position in Capitalism or Scholarly position *first*... can be seen by people who don't reply back for x/y reason (mostly not taking the time to check even though they might want to do that anyway - I could put a better front fascia but at least honestly I don't)

The quality of believing in people, Trust-as-you-go or "at the speed of Trust" and increasing reassurance rather than ignore or shut comms down.

Surviving the Future audiobook by Shaun Chamberlin [based on David Fleming's Lean Logic]

📻 Great radio feel audio with commentary by Jimmy Buff and Peter Buffet which confirms what I think we all can do ONCE WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO FOCUS ON... They both cover your / their / David's perspectives very nicely as audio and reflecting on it...

=================
TALKING AS THE FUTURE?
(VOICE AUDIO?)
=================
Therefore a voice tool like vocaroo.com/ is what I see as that potential within a trusted circle (which could be screened by 1 or two main trusted people (like yourself Shaun) and then all others much safer from that. We have to give it a go...

I know you're doing that in a scholarly type setting but for those 'lesser' or 'anon' we need simple and in to talking, no zoom or complicated zoom or googlisms - As you see on Fediverse many people don't answer people without ID-ing them or without having credentials - your word is often not enough or it's a cut-off point and up-front ultimatum / fascism almost for those dying to help without being ID'd or in forever data loops..

CC other interesting people / similar: @markhburton

I welcome anything else to do / consume well as a practical and educational consumption - towards life-changingness as we essentially want / need to find out...

And I'll keep working on perhaps finding people that suit me and perhaps add in similar audio field...

⌚ Time and Trust is lost in Technology ⏳

And at the same time we are also not doing the people / friendship work.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🔄 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 ❤️

Think of being 15 playing PlayStation and again with PC :playstation: 💻

Isn't it really similar / the same even if it became more accepted professionally.

🤖 🎰 🔄 🤖 🎰 💰

Good fun, occasionally something - but not actually advancing people or yourself with others?.

Tech as new PlayStation ? i would admit it after all these years.
1 player game or lonely multi-player with other loners.

Emptying time more than filling people with something more connected / real? And if it doesn't exist, we must make it.

So not everything is quite written off as but similar dynamics and even excuses not to interact with *people* and potential things that get undermined or deleted eventually (yes we can use tech but we have all the basic tech already for people to interact - not need for any more, just maintain , , , , , , , (not even nextcloud / open cloud etc as FTP is native to os and strong for small or even large groups, Debian still uses it for example) and a few other solid protocols

ALL else is a bit of a time dump if people can't themselves communicate - so this is what needs work - even if you build the best sports car, people are still the weak link and wreck everything unknowingly - they themselves are a wreck due to history and mal-practice of contact between people.

Seems to just apply a kind of therapy as the basic work is the best way via Jitsi and go "at the speed of trust".
