If you're going somewhere outside of the city before #34C3 and find there delicious herbs and plants that deserve to be infused and shared around... think of the #TeaHouse!
In front of Umspannwerk, target-site for a "Google campus" project in Kreuzberg, Berlin... that neighbors and an international crowd of artists, hackers, activists, researchers, etc.. are determined to not let happen!
Former Facebook [vice-president] says social media is ripping apart society
‘No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth.’
“I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works,” he told an audience at Stanford Graduate School of Business, before recommending people take a “hard break” from social media.
In other terms: *WE LOST THE WEB* already. Not to the FCC nor the crappy industry-lobbying on them, but by letting oligopolies go too far and get too much of our lives: behaviour analysis & data collection, Javascript, X-scripting, DRM/HTML5, black-box hardware, etc. Time to move on. Take back technology. Invent the next, human-centric protocols, hardware and software commons. Break the oligopolies. #FuckOffGoogle
This #NetNeutrality rule in the US was anyway weak and flawed, thanks to the "Hollywood exception" in it that says that only "lawful content" should be left undiscriminated against (which means one private actor has to discriminate against what is lawful and what is not, which amounts to privatized, unfair justice...)...
Killlng #NetNeutrality rules in the US doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing for Europe... Sure the trend is set, but it may be the boost we were expecting for truly decentralized and distributed technologies, e2e-encryption-enabled, to flourish, along with community and non-profit run networks.
These oligopolies may distort and break the rules of how to play with the toys... but surely not curb our motivation, our mobilization nor our knowledge about building new ones!
Do you know reference texts for beginners explaining the combined political interest of Free/libre software, decentralized communications and end to end encryption?
Also what literature (books, research, etc.) do you have about the crimes of Google?
Can anyone tell me why bloody-windows key + left/right now makes me cycles through Xorg and the various ttys? (It is supposed to be the default i3wm shortcut to move between windows...)
