"Kite is a DIY kit that empowers you (and everyone) to build a smartphone, irrespective of skill level. A screwdriver is required, but no other tools."

I love that these more homebrew phone/laptop projects are springing up, usually with a power to the people ethos which is cool. From a longevity perspective though, long term software and spare parts support is important, and sometimes hard for small projects.

"Another intriguing possibility is that the concept of #decentralized autonomy could allow the human race to achieve a #singularity without the involvement of #AI but rather through a more novel framework of human interaction and collaboration equating a #hivemind "

- Ryan Walker, Decentralized Autonomy and Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero

The "S" in "IoT" stands for security.

To pose equality as a goal is to hand it over to the pedagogues of progress, who widen endlessly the distance they promise that they will abolish. Equality is a presupposition, an initial axiom -- or it is nothing.

— Jacques Rancière, The Philosopher and his Poor

In the #UK? Interested in #commons #food #economics?

I'm involved in this project to create a commons around growing food.

The plan is to grow stuff that can be easily stored so that we dont have to live close to where the crops are grown and so that we can potentially provide a significant part of our diet.

Not everyone would be involved with their hands in the dirt, but together we'd organise and arrange the production.

Good piece on the lineage back to #Bookchin of the ideas and structures of the Kurdish resistance.

"Rather than advocating the abolition of the state through an uprising of the proletariat, he suggested that by developing alternative institutions in the form of popular assemblies and neighborhood committees - and notably by taking part in municipal elections - the power of the state could be 'hollowed out' from below, eventually making it superfluous."

How to build a new world in the shell of the old. Solidarity economy and dual power.

"As hierarchical society gives way to genuine democracy, it is the institutions we organise and experiment with today that will
become the replacements."

@Antanicus This is my theory on ancaps: They have an extremely positive image of themselves, but an extremely negative image of nearly everybody else, so they think money is their salvation from having to rely (or participate) in meaningful relationships with all us other ‘stupid folk’. These capitalists are shit scared — of other people especially — and their human-hating ways have created a human-hating ideology which we need to expose and undermine at every opportunity.

Adélie Linux.

In ALPHA, already intriguing.

Based on "GNUless" Alpine Linux, but aiming for common desktop use.

Userland instead of GNU Core: BusyBox.

For C standard library, it uses musl, instead of GNU glibc.

Devs state: "We do believe that Linux should be usable by anyone, regardless of income level or past computer experience. We don't believe that Linux has to be hard to use."

Urged to keep an eye on this one!

What is the role of emotion in the classroom, and how do teachers talk to students about emotion? Is it treated as ‘noise’? Okay in small amounts? A barrier to learning? And do emotions happen to you, or do you create emotions yourself?

I created this infographic for teachers about my latest research that included 750 teachers from Greece, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Please forward it to any teachers in your life! 😺

#FreeCulture and #FreeSoftware advocacy often focuses on remixability and hackability. I think another aspect is important to talk about, due to its universal appeal: permanence.

The tools we develop, the websites we build, the music we share under free&open licenses -- _they will be with us_ as long as we care to maintain and share them.

Free culture, in that sense, is an incredible cooperative enterprise across all humanity. It is unlike nearly any other endeavor. It is a joyful thing! :)

How to make an IFTTT applet to post to a webhook every time a certain hashtag is used?

I find instructions on how to make that with certain accounts (username.atom feed), but as hashtags don't have a similar atom feed (or I haven't found it!), these instructions fail.

All I find is a page per hashtag (eg. https://mastodon.social/tags/caturday), so what should I do with it on IFTTT's side?
