I was just thinking I should like to have the ability to have some of my work peer-reviewed, and in turn provide that service to others.
It then occurred to me that this is probably how journals come about, and maybe what I need to do is found a journal. Something transparent, perhaps a #coop?
But this leaves me with one question: in this context, who are my peers?

I have so much to write and am surrounded by too much chaos to get it down.
Need to simplify.

@shoutcacophony it may be because of the “free speech” spin applied to allowing fascism (which was probably engineered to signal tech bro’s superficial understanding of free speech).

We are restoring the future state.
Our disaster recovery requires even more disks.

@volt4ire I can think of all kinds of creative uses for this list...🤔

One more reason this is my favorite virtual space since the BBS days...

Excited to see @HackerRadioShow joining the fediverse!

So the odroid go can now be a mini computer with thumb keyboard and run BASIC.

I want one of these remotes from Black Mirror but a Bluetooth mousey thing.

@gemlog I don't want to make anyone use anything 😇

@sungo Windows (I found a stash I had from the 80’s; free disks!)

The other day we were talking about I/O options (in the context of my apparently controversial BASIC computer) and while I was researching tact-switch based keyboards I came across this:
https://hackaday.io/project/158454-mini-piqwerty-usb-keyboard
This one is USB and designed to connect to a regular computer, but I think I could modify/extend it to work with my all-in-1 design.
I also came up with a somewhat novel output device but I’ll save that for another toot.

@jjg And why don't clowns eat cannibals?
Because they taste funny.

Pet peeve: death

Why would the clown wait until you are sleeping to eat you if you already know it’s there?

Some ideas from the #HackerNarratives blogpost I'm writing:
#cyberpunk doesn't describe a state of the world, but is a perspective which we can take to perceive the reality.
Cyberpunk and technical dystopias started out as warnings, but got embraced because of a constant future shock the society is feeling.
Now it's easier to accept huge megacorporations and surveillance because _we know them_ from the culture and stories, while we see no realistic alternatives.

Only by providing a counter-narrative, which also deals with the constant burning future shock people are feeling - we can make other perspectives and futures possible.
If you won't create a narrative explaining why you did something, someone else will supply theirs.
No matter how good the software created by the engineers is, no matter how much work the activists put in, the public needs storytellers to tell them why it's important as well.
