Just read about Circles, a proposition for a #UBI system implemented via personal cryptocurrencies, which gain value through a network of individual trust relationships. That is, the money you accumulate is only usable by someone who trusts it (and you), or someone who trusts someone who trusts it, and so on.

Regardless of the viability of such a system with whatever flaws it may have, I like the fact that it functions by way of groups of people trusting each other!

Picking a new computer:

1998: "Everything's twice as fast as it was last year! So much choice! So many options!"

2018: "OK, so which of these fucking things is the least broken?"

I want to know how a mistake like sending out an emergency alert was made (Hawaii). It's really bad because it says "it's not a drill", people are not going to believe the next one...

The First Things First manifesto from 1964. Graphic designers advocating for a use of their trade that has more benefit to the social good.

"In common with an increasing number of the general public, we have reached a saturation point at which the high pitched scream of consumer selling is no more than sheer noise."

Just to repeat, that's *over 50 years ago*. It sure as hell hasn't gotten any better.

I'm not actually signing up for https://quit.im but this intro is right on ✊ #fediverse #internetofpeople

"What if Uber drivers set up their own platform, or if a city’s residents controlled their own version of Airbnb?"

Think some of you Mastodonners might be interested in this book (I've purchased but hasn't arrived yet). Firstly, it's nice to see a positive book about the future of tech. Secondly, seems like decentralisation/cooperation is a big theme.

Anybody here want to be part of a "fiction about cooperatives" writing group, to workshop eachother's stories? If so, let me know. GEO would love to help set one up (and we've already got at least two participants).

A nice, meandering walk through some mostly tiny indie games that came out over the last decade.

Among them, I discovered a fun little post-capitalism game -- content obviously very debatable, but an interesting way to talk about the topic:

Idea: a Friday #recap of the best mastodon interactions you've had during the week. Summarize and link to the conversation, and add #hashtags you might have forgotten at the time.

#Curation is a very manual process on Mastodon, for better or worse, so let's develop some habits to make #searching easier.

I am on it. I like the fully decentralised mechanism, that it can cope with intermittent connectivity, and the group of people working on it, and the ideas they are having/exploring.

I think they are very aligned with what I understand social.coop to be about.
