    @olistik Just the laptop's own battery is usually sufficient for a power cut of up to an hour or so, depending on the battery size.

    @solderpunk The main differences I found were network names and gpg version 2. I ended up reverting to the older network names style (eg. wlan0) because it's much easier to script for.

    "Once we entertain the possibility that the 'barbarians' are not just 'there' as a residue but may well have chosen their location, their subsistence practices, and their social structure to maintain their autonomy, the standard civilizational story of social evolution collapses utterly."

    Like the hill peoples with their challenging terrain and confusing nomenclature, within the decentralized social networks I think it would be good to maintain algorithms which are counter-hegemonic, defending against invasive species or totalizing projects which might otherwise come to dominate the zone.

    One way of implementing this is to do things similar to SSB, in which the best way to search through the space is to have real social relations. The ability to bypass social relations with purely technical methods is I think one of the main problems with the centralized social networks.

    @jz @bortzmeyer I think it would be nice if the primary way of searching the fediverse was via having real social relations, rather than being able to bypass social relations with technical methods. It could be argued that the technical bypass of the social is one of the main problems with the centralized social networks.

    @jz @bortzmeyer Yes, having search as an admin option would make sense, although frustrating research of the fediverse might be a feature. I like the idea of these spaces being contextual and therefore difficult to totalize - similar to Scuttlebutt.

    On the protection point I assume that Twitter trolls operate mainly in the most knuckle-dragging manner with no technical sophistication, just by searching for topics or users and then dog-piling them.

    @bortzmeyer @jz I think this is more of an anti-harassment feature. Avoids people easily searching for topic X and then targeting the users who mention it. You can still use other tools to search through public posts.

    "Once states appeared, adaptive conditions changed yet again - at least for farmers. At that moment, mobility allowed farmers to escape the impositions of states and their wars. I call this tertiary dispersion. The other two revolutions - agriculture and complex society - were secure but the state's domination of its peasantry was not, and so we find a strategy of 'collecting people … and establishing villages.'"

    "I argue that hill peoples are best understood as runaway, fugitive, maroon communities who have, over the course of two millennia, been fleeing the oppressions of state-making projects in the valleys - slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. Most of the areas in which they reside may be aptly called shatter zones or zones of refuge."

    @cosine I think its a common enough problem, where someone has an opinion of you distorted by suppositions. These kinds of cognitive templates are the way that social relations scale, but they scale badly.

    Could they add one more eye?

    Maybe this will replace call center work as a new common occupation. Censorship of this type is utterly divorced from any notion of communities or different cultures, and so the ethics being applied here are the singular ethics of Mr Zuckerberg.

    Can one man's ethics rule the world? I don't think so. It's the ultimate one size fits all, and as such is bound to fail. If you think centralization in the Soviet Union was bad, this goes way beyond that.

    To have a sane future digital society I think communities need to manage themselves according to codes devised within and for the community. Not dictated globally by one guy.

    my husband is playing w google home on his pixel 2 in the car. he asked it to play jazz. worked well, queued up a nice playlist in google play music. impressive.

    after a few songs, it suddenly started playing some kind of story about a strangler who murdered women. No kidding. With our small kids in the car - not ok.

    So he then asked it for relaxing music. It complained and then played loud heavy metal while displaying an up$ell screen.
