@Antanicus Thatcher said that her most important legacy was Tony Blair. She was right.

I'm really 100% unconcerned about what some US people believe or cease to believe is Free Speech according to their morals and laws.

The internet is a place far larger and the US constitution and whatever morals it encodes are very much for contention, and can't be expected to be taken at face value.

@lehighcommunalist Awesome! A Loomio onboarding guide would be useful, possibly as applied to social.coop norms, more than the strictly technical.

Perhaps integrating information from the documents that are already featured as attachments on the Loomio homepage, so that they aren't attachments anymore, but something others can access wiki-style.

Others will probably have other ideas.

"One of the most damaging and widespread social beliefs is the idea that most adults are incapable of learning new skills".

Especially computer skills, with the creation of an infantile society falling prey to the Surveillance industry. An infantile society is an innocent society ripe for the ripping off.

The onus is on us to help educate people about value, cost, and trade-offs they make.
Only then we can talk about autonomy and economic independence truthfully.

@tim Reader View does more than just disabling style.

So this is what @tomasino 's gopher looks like.
I was starting to feel gopher-virgin after 25+ years.

@cwebber Twitter is just a reflection of cultures that favour cut-throat competition over cooperation. If popularity is equated to profit and power, and maximum profit is accepted as the ultimate goal, at some point things snowball beyond human scale.

It could have never resulted in anything different under the framework Twitter was constructed, but especially so after they took the IPO money.

@Cocoron QE is UBI, but for rich people only.

Thosuands of activists are participating in Day 2 of the Continental Conference For Democracy And Against Neoliberalism hosted in Montevideo, Uruguay.

https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Uruguay-Activists-Continue-Conference-Against-Neoliberalism-20171117-0014.html

Union workers and citizens are attending the conference in protest against “disastrous neoliberal politics in the world.”

On Thursday, activists from across Latin America marched in the capital city, waving flags and chanting against the policies of leaders like Argentina's Mauricio Macri and Brazil's Temer.

There is no "attention economy". The distraction economy unhelpfully drives mass attention to the vacuous, the trivial, and the destructivel, and it's intrinsically anti-ethical to the solution of the most urgent problems that need the attention of every human on Earth.

After Twitter's historical betrayal of developers they're now launching a premium API, which --of course-- will be exploited by unintelligence agencies, their nazi friends, and whoever wants to harass and spy on people (for $$$). It's free season on you.

I know, centralisation and idolatry rule right now, and things (mostly humans) can be depressing right now.

But the onus is on us who know, The Second Foundation

#WeGotThis too.

Anyone dabbling in #Forth here?

#programming #languages #lang #langs #coding

Any coders who fancy non-mainstream or less-than-mainstream programming languages here?

(i.e. not Java, C#, Javascript, etc)
#programming #languages #lang #langs

@internetturtle If a decent, performant Forth can be implemented on top of WASM, that would be a good start for me.

@ctrlaltdog There may be some instances where people care about the mainstream media. My impression is that most people in the fediverse don't. #WeGotThis

It's already Caturday here, but it's still Friday somewhere else, so here's a few of us bringing back the old lovely tradition of #FF that was lost years ago when Twitter became a NaziFest.

@risabee For passing on to us her wisdom and experience

@garbados Who often delivers deep insights on tech, with whimsical flair.

@KevinCarson1 For his encyclopedic knowledge of anarchism.

@mattcropp @mattcropp @Antanicus and the rest of the #socialcoop crew for their great leading project and #coop work

Fuck off and dive in the ocean, LinkedIn.
