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.

I do think LLMs capture the zeitgeist in one way: that we’re all supposed to just accept that things are a bit shite all the time, in tech and otherwise. That it’s just how things are & we shouldn’t expect better. Shut up, accept the slop, things getting worse, the enshittification. It’s just the way things are.
No, piss off. Things can be better, we’ve done it before. Just because some people can’t or won’t remember, doesn’t mean we all have to accept their low standards.

@HeavenlyPossum A thing some folks have a hard time grasping is that
A stateless society does not have to be a not-organized society.
You can still have services, still have societal stability and still have security against the much feared feudal warlords and what have you.
Because assuming people stop existing and organizing the moment the state ceases to exist is actually silly.

Terugkoppeling van de filmavond vanavond. Een van ons had de filmavond georganiseerd, maar niet expliciet vanuit AK-Utrecht. Tevreden kijkt ie terug op vanavond. tussen de 30 en 40 mensen waren aanwezig en het gros bleef voor het panel discussie. In het panel zaten, Jan Korff de gidts, Jos Kloppenborg, Merel en onze activist.
De insteek van deze avond was de verscheidenheid van groepen en tactieken. Om mensen een idee te geven wat er kan, dat er voor iedereen een plek en dat je de tactiek kan kiezen die het beste bij je past.
Op een vraag vanuit het publiek over meer positieve acties, antwoordden onze activist:
Ik leer mensen bomen knuffelen op hoogte.
Ook goed om nog te melden is de dodo excursie op 1 april. Daar naast hoorden we iets over asfaltbevers en een grote dassenburcht.

In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.

For fucks sake, how fucking racist-brained do you need to be to respond to a toot about Teslas being exceptionally unsafe with "Just a reminder that half of all Teslas come from China" and nothing else

Went caving in Wales with @hugh yesterday. Turns out it was just an elaborate plan to rickroll me. Quite physically exhausting but 10/10 would recommend

I hate the "talk about emergencies" section of Duolingo because its so copaganda heavy.

concept: a show like ramsay's kitchen nightmares, but about software instead
"i'm at spunkchute, a SaaS company that owes $2 million to AWS and is on the brink of closure”
"oh my [bleep] god. the main database server is running Ubuntu 8.04 and has two backdoors and a coin miner. SHUT. IT. DOWN.”

@HeavenlyPossum @junglecat_rant Even in a not-anarchist left-wing antiauthoritarian context, horizontality is generally speaking a good thing.
Instead of power being held at the top of a vertical hierarchy, it would be distributed widely closer to those whom are most directly affected by political decisions.
Anarchism just takes this idea one step further, to rid the hierarchy of the state in its entirety.
This is the opposite idea of empowering a few power hoarding masters.

What value do tech columnists and podcasters and writers to the table who just follow every hype? Not for corporations but for you? Why are so many still reading and listening to that kind of drivel?
I think I have enough planting boxes for now. Probably.
I'm still kind of surprised to find locally-manufactured(!), 100%-recycled-plastic planting boxes at a discount store for this little money. Apparently it *is* financially possible after all.
