Jobs in repair, remanufacture and reuse should be part of any Green New Deal policy. They stimulate regional economies and help reduce the carbon emissions associated with the manufacture of new goods.

@ink_slinger So very worried about this being non-fiction.

@tbeckett Woah, that's awesome.

I think the bassist from Lightning Bolt most have had one of these growing up..

@macgirvin I agree, would love to learn how you're avoiding it with Zap and Zot - is redundancy primarily through data portability/replication with nomadic identity? Or is the data segmented across stores as well?

I feel like Solid, ActivityPub with a generic server and C2S, and Indieweb, are all kind of chipping away at the same thing. You have all your data in one place (either self-hosted or someone-else-hosted) and you decide which apps you want to let interact with it.

Hey https://prismo.xyz sends webmentions when you have an article submitted, nice!

Stumbled across this app Manifold: https://manifoldapp.org/
'intuitive, collaborative, open-source platform for scholarly publishing'

Looks pretty good. I landed on this article from a web search and was genuinely intrigued what it was running on. It's very nicely presented and has no ads or crap trying to get me to do something else on the platform. Feels nice!

Just needs federated annotations...

Also an interesting talk on the harms and perceived harms of social media on children, and how these might be reduced. Things like cyber bullying; inability to perceive manipulated content; problem of 'persuasive design'; exposure to harmful content; overuse and disconnection anxiety.

Is Fediverse a good space to mitigate these? Do any instances currently actually actively cater to children?

Interesting talk today discussing the importance of having human rights activists embedded in protocol organisations. Basically having someone who pushes for the consideration of impact on human rights when technical standards are being defined.

The talk was specifically on the IETF. They gave the example of data leakage in WebRTC revealing IP addresses and said an activist had raised this and it had gotten fixed. Anyone know details of that?

@gcupc (also don't know if it's latest best practice)

@gcupc We are trying to avoid email conf so we have honeypot and a timestamp field, seems to be working for us so far, however no metrics on what it would be like if we didn't have it.

Nice article about Jessa Jones and other fixers and right to repair activists in the US.
