:boosts_ok_gay:​ Research on digital unions 

I'm looking for research on union(like) structures made possible by digitalization, surely this presents opportunity for novel ways to organize, different from the standard union model.

But I'm having a hard time finding info on this, or why it has/hasn't worked out (yet)

@tastytea@very.tastytea.de apparently it's used "by some older speakers" lol, I think laundromat is more common, it's a genericized trademark

> Our digital tools are new, the forms of work that they mediate are new, and many of
the challenges they raise are new. But, in a world where the atomization of work continues
to be used against digital workers, let’s not forget an old rallying cry that has served us well:
workers of the world, unite

all from ["Why the digital gig economy needs co-ops and unions"](ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:11c7)

> [B]uilding on Gina Neff’s work so that this so-called ‘venture labour’ -the “explicit expression of entrepreneurial values by non-entrepreneurs" does not become the norm. In other words, workers recognizing that they
are receiving all of the risks of entrepreneurship, but few of the rewards

> But if people see themselves as workers rather than entrepreneurs, then we have more possibilities for workers to collaborative attempt to help each other through cooperative horizontal relations

this is why everyone that calls themselves an "entrepreneur" is not to be trusted tbh

@erincandescent@queer.af I guess so, but those would still pose a challenge for anything that restricts replies, like a 'reply proxy'. You're essentially creating a second type of blocklist/allowlist for replies, with the same challenges as federation block/allowlists?

@erincandescent@queer.af while I definitely agree with the need for more fine-grained control, is the use-case for automatic approval not already handled by enabling authorized fetch?

@132ikl you could set a hotkey for 'flip board view' in the pcb editor, that's quite useful. Also there's much better (dark) themeing support nowadays

@dragon but also causing some chaos at the tech job is probably good

@gsuberland@chaos.social in case it's not just a straight subset, this is the playlist where i keep some of that too music.youtube.com/playlist?lis

@gsuberland@chaos.social ohh nice, lots of classics in there

@gsuberland@chaos.social what are you listening to?

@aurynn I have something like that for my Canon? battery shaped connector with a USB A plug on a wire, connected to powerbank/wall charger. There's even a little slot in the camera body to feed through the cable next to the usual battery door

Just one example: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

"I have a rail line right under my apartment, so I built a small computer vision app running on a Rasperry Pi which records each train passing, and tries to stitch an image of it.

It has a frontend at trains.jo-m.ch/"
