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.

fedi people (including myself) like to meme with Sun Microsystems but the founders are still typical Big Tech people

Like, I'm evaluating P2P things again and GUN is basically instantly off the list of candidates because I cannot navigate their fucking website without being overwhelmed!
The website for GUN (the decentralization thing) is the absolute fucking worst. What's wrong with the people who built this horrible thing???

Google Cloud is hosting https://professorwatchlist.org.
Cloudflare is providing DNS and DDoS protection.
Guess Google and Cloudflare enjoy being in bed with fascists now...

So, while I felt comraderie during my march as I moved with various organizations to stand up in the face of state oppression, the world at large still have some work to do.
Capitalism has put us in a place to keep focusing on the individual as opposed to the collective.
People keep focusing on who's protesting "the right way".
I'm not saying we should have bounce houses for kids.
But criticizing people for taking a step, for some their first step, is weird.

Please obscure the faces of people in your protest pictures. The government and civilian fascist groups with with an Azure/AWS account have easy access to facial recognition services and DO use them.
fragment of history, google
"Wave is designed to operate as a decentralized communication network. Individuals and organizations will run their own Wave-compatible servers which will all interoperate through a federated messaging protocol. Although Google has developed the underlying technology, the company intends to open it up entirely to the community and make it a vendor-neutral standard. There will be multiple competing implementations, much like there are today for e-mail services, and it will be possible to use and operate independent Wave services without having to rely on Google."

New blog post! I've started taking regular snapshots of Library of Congress linked open data (as part of a much broader data rescue and monitoring project) and took the opportunity to finally get to grips with #SPARQL, #RDF and all that comes along with it. I've started small though...

strange take: I think there should be water lines run to bedrooms by where you'd put the bed so that you can hydrate easily from bed

I think the part that annoys me about the liberal response to fascism in the US isn't that they're trying to fight it in the courts - that's a good thing. The more counter-tactics, the better.
What annoys me is that a lot of liberals are *only* fighting it in the courts. It's not a part of a multi-pronged strategy, there's no calls for diverse (including direct) action from politicians, and there's no real cross-pollination between legal and direct action that I can see.
The whole thing overwhelmingly stinks of "we're going to hope for the best and let the legal system deal with it, so that we can continue pretending that we leave in a healthy democracy", ie. the "head in the sand" approach.
When what they *should* be doing is take every opportunity they can, direct action or otherwise, fire off all of them at once, and keep the different camps in contact to coordinate.
