Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

That model, of course, also neatly predicted the failure we're currently seeing with competing streaming services; which not only exceed the recommended price when you combine them, but also aren't interoperable *and* have DRM interfering with it. Which is why people are returning to piracy.
This article is a fascinating read, and gives some insight into the history of piracy and music streaming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_music_model

10-ish minute oil pastel sketch without reference. It's a bit wonky but I like the textures ^.^ #MastoArt

I'm starting a small call for entries for a yet-to-exist 'zine on tech for resting, being lazy, letting be, and having a break. Share wide and far.
--
For the first Fallow Zine, la Jachère is interested in contributions about the following topics, but not limited to them.
- Lazy tech or tech for the lazies
- Tech that falls into place, fits, is just enough
- Tech for rest, pause, have a break, take a breath
- Tech for preservation, of the status quo, of energy, of a moment, of equilibrium
More on https://jache.re/notes/call-fallow-zine-1.html
- Deadline: 21. June 2022 (more or less… deadlines are thresholds to play with)

cis people LOVE to be like "ik this is controversial and idk if im allowed to say this because im cis but (transphobic take) (transphobic take) (extremely transphobic take) (facts twisted in bad faith) (transphobic take)" and all the other cis people in the room will be like "THANK you ive been too scared to say that!"

Transphobia in policy, prison reform policy, ACAB
It's funny that they came to an abolitionist organization and abolisionist activist for input on their horrifically transphobic policy, and tried to pull the "see were doing amazing work"
Like nah if you wanna make prisons better for trans people how bout you start off by doing away with prisons as a whole, and gender based correctional policy on top of that
Fuck cops, fuck the industrial prison complex

That “clean your room thing” is hammered in people’s head starting from school really, only those that do well in school are able to criticize it
And the interesting thing is that the people that don’t do well also say this
Sounds a bit familiar, no?

a 2-metre diameter disco ball will set you back roughly 15000 euro
And keep in mind that this is a standard desktop computer running a recent OS with recent drivers, on a Ryzen 3900X with an RX 5700 XT -- not some weird laptop vendor horror
My GPU (driver?) just hung so hard that after powering it off by holding the power button and starting it again, it got stuck on fan spin and no display output, and even holding the power button didn't turn it off anymore, and I had to use the physical PSU switch to reset it.
The cause: exiting OpenTTD.
Perhaps this whole "computer" thing wasn't such a great idea after all?

The terminology still isn't entirely clear to me - "ecoterrorism" is what the petroleum industry and its lobby do, right?
Yeah this video is actually legitimately pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZEHKQ4CmTk
