Indeed, but a lot of earthship building is just rough manual labor useing cheap or free materials. It doesn't take specialized tools, although they will save you time.

Effort is something the poor have to supply much more of than the rich to reach a steady state, but with the above design its possible instead of out of reach.

GameCamp Munich (#gcmuc) 2024 — Nachlese

Stoppt mich, wenn ihr den schon kennt: „Kommt ein Arzt auf das GameCamp…“

Am Wochenende war also in München in den Räumen des SAE Institute das GameCamp München, #gcmuc. Der SAE Campus, das gleich mal vorneweg, ist ziemlich geil. Da würde sogar ich noch einmal studieren gehen, selbst Betten haben die. Weil das Studierendenleben halt, außerhalb der Medizin und dem Recht, auch Schlaf erlaubt.

1792587 Willkommensrunde am Sonntag

Vom „Gefühl“ her, war das #gcmuc ein echtes Camp im Geiste und Sinne der BarCamps. Das konnte man an vielen Stellen sehr stark fühlen, und dieses Gefühl hat das Camp so sehr viel besser gemacht, als es (leider) heute bei vielen dieser Veranstaltungen der Fall ist.

Stoppt mich, wenn ihr den schon kennt: „Kommt ein Arzt auf das GameCamp…“

1792587 Willkommensrunde am Sonntag

Da ist der Eintritt. BarCamps und die kleinen und großen Geschwister dieses Konzepts sollten immer zugänglich sein. Dazu gehört, klar, sich Venues zu suchen, die den Herausforderungen einer diversen Teilgeberschaft entgegenkommen. Dazu gehört auch, einen Code of Conduct zu haben, der es jeder Person ermöglicht, teilzunehmen. Und dazu gehört der Preis. BarCamp4Profit ist immer scheiße, wenn dann aber noch Preise um die 60€ auf die Teilgebenden zukommen, dann ist das halt auch schädlich für die Zugänglichkeit.
1792589 Etwas Sport vor dem 1792591 Bei der Führung durch die Venue 1792593 Einer von vielen genialen Ausbildungsräumen im SAE Institute 1792595 Max und Matthias bei ihrer Lieblingsbeschäftigung. 1792597 BarCamp Urgestein Nils war auch da.
Mit 25€ war das #gcmuc super genial platziert. Sponsoren waren da (ein Teufelskreis: teures Camp, weniger Besucher, weniger Sponsoren, muss teurer werden), das Essen war endgeil (dazu gleich mehr), und ein T-Shirt gab es auch dazu. Ein 10€ Level für jene, die es sonst nicht stemmen könnten, gab es auch.

Die Willkommensrunde war verdammt gut gemacht. Keine blödsinnigen Hashtags (sorry, Regensburg), stattdessen gab es regen Austausch in allen Ecken, man lernte sich kennen, sprach miteinander. Und das trotz, wenn die Zahlen bei den Sessions zu „Introvert in…“ etwas aussagen, einem doch eher introvertierten Teilhabenden-Spektrums.

Die Sessions waren ebenfalls extrem geil. Was wieder zeigt, dass wenn man ein gutes Camp baut, gute Menschen gute Sessions machen. Es ging nicht nur um die „harten“ Teile des Computerspiels sondern auch um viele „soften“ Dinge, wie Sexismus in der Branche, wie man als Introvert:in in ihr weiterkommt, Finanzierungsideen, Planung, und halt, ganz außen am Rand, meine Session zum Thema „Games in Health, Health in Games“ welche sich als Diskussionsrunde an die Fragen der Gesundheit im Spiel und spielerischer Gesundheit wandte.

1792599 Bild von Ivi, yours truly bei der Session zu Spielerischer Gesundheit

Die Session war gut besucht und wurde auf Antrag einiger am Sonntag („Qualitätssonntag“ wie wir das nennen, weil weniger Besucher:innen, aber extrem hohe Qualität) nochmal wiederholt. Mit einigen Wiederholungstäter:innen, aber auch vielen neuen Gesichtern beim zweiten Mal.

Jetzt zum Essen.

Essen war genial. Genug für Veganer:innen und Vegetarier:innen, im Allgemeinen mehr als genug. Pizza und Salat zum Mittagessen am ersten Tag, Kaffee und Kuchen, Burger von der Hamburgerei (welche, wir erinnern uns, mich letztens per Anwalt der „Verleumdung“ bezichtigen ließ, weil ich ihnen auf Google Maps nur vier Sterne gegeben hatte. Aber das ist jetzt vergeben aber nicht vergessen) am Abend. Am zweiten Tag gab es zum Mittagessen Wraps, genau nach meinem massiven Rant wie Geflügel zur Antibiotika-Resistenz Krise und damit wahrscheinlich zum Ende der Menschheit beiträgt. No shade, fand’s nur lustig.
1792601 Sogar Toffifee gab’s zum Kaffee 1792603 Früchte auch. 1792605 Die Wraps am zweiten Tag
Aber ein Camp wird, vor Allem, daran gemessen, was eine Woche später noch davon da ist.

Für mich sehr viel. Neue Freunde? Check. Mehr als nur ein paar. Ein neues Projekt, an dem so um die acht dieser Freunde teilnehmen? Check. Viele geniale Diskussionen und Konversationen auf, neben, und nach dem Camp, die auch meine Meinung zu Dingen fundamental verändert haben.

Herausheben muss und will ich auch die Präsenz der IG Metall. Ich habe mich mit dem genialen Metaller Falko Blumenthal (Link to Shitter, sorry, jemand mit X-Zugang, tretet den bitte mal in’s Fediverse zu kommen) draußen lange über Gewerkschaft, Arbeitskampf, und warum ich es nicht „Rechtsruck“ nennen will, unterhalten. Ungelogen, eine der besten Unterhaltungen zu diesen Themen in den letzten Jahren.

Kurz gesagt: das GameCamp München war ein „echtes Camp“ im Geiste und Sinne der Camp-Ideale. Großartige Menschen, beste Orga ever, geniale Location, super gutes Essen, ein Klima des Miteinander, sehr wenige Selbstdarsteller:innen und viel mehr Teilgebende. Sowas kommt nicht aus Zufall. Es ist das Produkt harter Orga Arbeit und guter Entscheidungen dieser.

In einer Zeit, in der mehr und mehr BarCamps schließen müssen, weil die Leute und die Sponsoren ausbleiben, und in der die Besuchenden immer älter werden, weil Profit und Profilierung sich in den Weg des Campgedanken gestellt haben, ist das GameCamp München ein strahlender Stern am Himmel dessen, was geht, gehen kann, und möglich ist.

Freue mich auf 2025. Und, hey GameCamp… warum nicht Fediverse? Eh? Macht mal!

That article's perspective sucks IMO. It is not the technology that is the problem in this case. The distance traveled to the meadow on foot versus the suburbs in the car had nothing to do with the technology or lack thereof. The person decided this was the normal they wanted and where they chose to live.

The fact is that this is cultural. You're willing to work a job that is an hour's drive away because you choose to take the job.

The one constant with technology is specialization. Things are going to increase in complexity unless civilization collapses. When noticeable shifts happen like with AI, many people groan at the additional burden of change. This has always and will always be the case, especially for people that are overworked and their livelihood put at risk from a technology they do not understand and struggle to learn. AI is especially troublesome because it is extremely complex and difficult to understand just under the surface of the near useless subscription services and basic publicly accessible tools.

Often it's a bit difficult to make an abstract point out of examples. You seem to be countering those examples with today's zeitgeist, the exact thing the article is looking to counter.

The person decided this was the normal they wanted and where they chose to live.

This would be true if all else were equal, but it isn't. Society built roads. It had to tear down housing to build the roads. The house prices went up because corporations bought up the housing stock and are using it to manipulate rents. None of that was the "choice" of the farmer. One cannot just opt out. "oh no thanks. I'll just take efficient public transport and we can just rip up the road network. Just give me one of the houses we build through more dense development."

The world without complexity was only able to feed around 2 billion humans. To suggest that the complexity supporting the modern world is unwanted or unneeded is to kill 6 billion people.

Are you an advocate for authoritarianism and the death of 6 billion humans to achieve the simplicity of the past? The vast majority of goods and trade are for food and the raw materials of life produced in the largest and only areas of the planet capable of sustaining this population.

Bold claim. Why do you think complexity itself can improve efficiency? I can easily tank efficiency by adding complexity. Complexity also necessarily destroys resilience. Every time we've tried adding complexity, all of those societies disappear, from ancient Egypt to Rome to the Incans.

Supporting infrastructure is equally complex. It was the consolidation of so many industries into a global supply chain that only has a few players that makes the present cost effective. The forces at play are far greater than you realize in scope and scale. Your pitching a post civilization dystopia of death and misery. It's bearings, chemistry, metallurgy, medicine, the list goes on and on.

The future you want will exist a long time from now, but not in the way you imagine it. Biology is the ultimate technology. It is where we are headed a millennia from now. Once the age of scientific discovery is long past and science is nothing more than an engineering corpus, a complete mastery of biology will mean we can create ecosystems with all life and technology existing within elemental cycles balance. At that point, human life will likely simplify in many ways and evolve in others.

::: spoiler Logistics is complexity in action.

Simplification is always regressive and backwards. When complexity seems insurmountable, the solution is to refine and reform. In science, eliminate all the ridiculous names associated. It's not Maxwell's equations; they are the magnetic equations. Reform stupid conventions like using the term light speed to mean the speed of causality. We need massive educational reform at all levels accounting for the wellbeing of career educators while also modernizing to account for video recording technology. We need to make housing a fundamental unalienable human right and the exploitation of survival needs like food and housing should have massive consequences.

But no, pushing against complexity is nonsense. It shows you're naive of the use cases. I recommend you start daily watching Anton Petrov on YT or Odyssey. He covers a white paper research summary daily. You'll learn many applications of technology and this complexity. Watch Frazier Cain for more depth on present astronomy, and watch Isaac Arthur for a view of what a distant future might look like. Read Asimov's books like The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun to see a glimpse of a realistic future.

The future you want

You're assuming a lot given what I've said. It's not an "in effect" thing either. You talk about actual systems in a way which invokes Gandalf magic when they work like Penn and Teller magic. You assume the article and any defense of it is naive, but you're missing the simple reality that sometimes you can simply remove huge amounts of complexity and get a better result.

The internet, for example, is not magic. There were several competing communication protocols, from circuit switched systems to fax to pagers. The internet is able to do all of those jobs, and it is a simpler system than the ones which existed in the past. It moved some complexity around, and therefore removed a bunch of complexity which was unnecessary.

Have you considered that culture is merely the collective reaction of a group of humans to a given set of environmental conditions? I don't disagree with you, but you're needlessly simplifying the problem.

You’re willing to work a job that is an hour’s drive away because you choose to take the job.

Why did I choose to take the job? One major reason is that I have an automobile. If I didn't have the automobile, I wouldn't have been able to take the job. Culture comes about as a result of a series of incentives and motivations that shape human decisions. Change the access to technology, and you would change the culture.

You seem to believe that a solution will come from people simply choosing not to do certain things. This is partially true, but its more accurate to recognize that you need to first create the material conditions that enable people to actually have a viable choice.

It is not the technology that is the problem in this case.

To me, culture has more scope. If people refused to waste two hours a day commuting by the mental health disorder of the automobile, we would likely reshape zoning and housing to accommodate the population density required. This is longer term generational culture. It is hard for any of us to take the reigns of such a large scope. Ultimately the comprehensibility is irrelevant to the fact each of us only has one voting wallet. You either accept the way things are or you do not. Only you can change the culture you accept and live within. No one is born into an idealized circumstance that enables them. If you want the democratic freedoms of France you need to build and use a guillotine first. The people that do such a thing were not born into it. I'm not inciting violence. I am citing the magnitude of measurable change. No one is gong to make it easy for you. In this world people will exploit you in every way you are only barely willing to withstand. Ultimately it is impossible to set the bar of how much exploitation and abuse a population can or will withstand. That is not how society works. Governments do the minimum required to satisfy your collective community expectations enough to maintain power only. This minimum governance also involves letting business push people ad far as they can get away with before angering enough people of the wrong class to become a problem. Ultimately, you are the one that decides when to become a problem that gets attention in one way or another. You might try to become the person in power that does the minimum or you might take other avenues. However, your first and easiest vote is with your wallet. If you commit at this level, you will then feel far more motivated and vocal about the changes needed to create an acceptable culture you want to be a part of. You can't expect anyone to create a better world for you if you're not looking for one in the first place. The status que is the level of acceptable abuse with that bar set by others. You can't accept that bar if you want more or anything better.

Yeah sure, I can get on board with that. I just wrote a great 500 word response that I canceled accidentally. Fml I'm too tired, I'll try to give a quick summary.

Basically, by framing it as a cultural issue that hinges on the decisions of individuals to reject the dominant culture, you're putting the focus in the wrong direction. You're essentially trying to change human nature, instead of trying to change the specific conditions that cause humans to behave this way at this specific point in time. Fighting aggressively against the entrenched cultural realities is brave but futile.

Instead of focusing on dismantling the culture that is already firmly in place, you need to change the conditions for future generations so they can have the opportunity to develop less problematic cultures. In order to do that, you need to analyze the dominant culture and understand it, but you don't necessarily need to waste all your energy fighting its manifestations. Instead, you simply try to create spaces where people can construct subcultures which are protected from the dominant cult

::: spoiler I understand the frustration. Sorry it got lost. No hurry, and reply any time or not at all. It's all good.

I come from growing up as a Jehovah's Witness. (Atheist now). I'm intimately familiar with the blindness of belief systems and how futile they are to fight against. The best way to counter them is by example and drawing people into asking their own questions. Often we need to tell them the questions to ask in such a way that they feel as though they constructed the questions you lead them to ask. Any other form of opposition becomes a fruitless partisan opposition as a foreigner. I'm physically disabled now and my survival pivots on my understanding of this dynamic. This is not hyperbolic.

::: spoiler I understand the frustration. Sorry it got lost. No hurry, and reply any time or not at all. It's all good.

It is from this perspective that I say, you can't fix stupid in anyone else. You can only fix yourself and show others what life is like when you do not conform. Like, I rode a bike everywhere until I lost 160 pounds. Several friends and family started riding bikes as a result. I can do anything on Linux and it has caused others to question and try it. I never watch ads for anything and have no subscriptions of any kind, and yet I watch interesting edutainment. Few people understand or are willing to setup a network like mine but still find it interesting that it is possible to live without corporate influences or intrusion, especially when I have no desire to make frivolous purchases like nearly anyone on corporate social media. I think for myself because I am disconnected and that seems to be rare in the present world. I tend to be both a realist and a hopeful futurist.

The way I see it, you don't make change through authoritarianism or pocket isolationism. You'll never win the world through a partisan operation or mindset. At best you might win half, but even then, the game is already rigged by the last person that played this hand generations ago. You make real change by living it, talking about it, and making it cool. You've got to post and talk about upcycling, about the benefits of riding a bike, about reusing electronics and hacking around, you talk about how you make food without commercial recipes, your fermentation experiments without buying anything, your balcony or window seal gardening with seeds from you food refuse. If you post and talk about these things, you motivate yourself and others to change. When everyone whines at work about their commute, you tell them how great your 6 mile route down the beach was this morning and how there wasn't a person anywhere around, or you tell them about the mediative value of the hour and forty five minutes it took you to ride 33 miles like you've done for the last two years. You might be surprised at how often you find your coworkers joining you on those rides to work as you pass by their merging path from home, I certainly was for those two years before I got a better job closer to my home.

Fighting them only makes you the enemy or opposition, and oppose you they will. If you want to make change, you must show people what is possible, lead by example, travel the harder path but do it in style or just your style. This is my style. The only more direct and effective path is to get a law degree and get into political office... IMO

Ultimately, we are likely on the brink of major change in the next few decades. I think the big one will actually be from M-type asteroid mining. A single object is likely to hold more mineral wealth than everything humanity has accessed since the Holocene began. Dwarfing the wealth of the world will have massive consequences. Earth's resource scarcities are due to gravitational differentiation (all heavy elements sunk in the center of Earth when it was fully molten). Accessing the core of a differentiated body in near Earth orbit will drive humanity into space in an unprecedented shift of exponential growth and geopolitical upheaval. Wealth disparity will be massive, but the focused pressure and exploration will shift away from the general population. We will just be stuck with the aftermath of the climate change caused by space men. It is likely to be about how the 1920's were still an era of bicycles steam trains and horse carriages while the 1930's was the sudden era of the automobile for only slightly above average people. The 2030's will be the beginning of the space economy and mining colony. It is a much less hyped aspect of the current push into space, but it is the primary unspoken objective if you read between the lines, especially at what Japan has been doing to explore space mining and prospecting... but that is just my big picture hunch about where things are going and why billionaires are kinda acting like doomsday prepers in private and in business... It's probably a good time to build agrarian skills too tho

This is like if France had a 4.5-days work-week and Germany a 4-days work-week. Are those countries lacking the level of technological advancement that US has?

The set of environmental conditions is different in each country, and indeed for each individual human. The level of technological advancement only comprises a small piece of that picture.

Because of the recent rapid technological advances in the past century, essentially every society worldwide is struggling to adapt to the new technological landscape. But due to all of the other contributing factors, the struggle is slightly different for everyone.

Just looking at the average work hours is a miniscule people of the puzzle. How much money are people making in exchange for their time? Do they have to pay for Healthcare? What types of jobs are most common? What is the historical context of the population that has led them to this point? Were they working more or less 100 years ago? Did they have more wealth 100 years ago? What is the current rate of mental illness and disability? What is the historical and current prevalence of religion?

You could continue with questions in this vein more or less infinitely. And the answer to each question would vary substantially

The set of environmental conditions is different in each country, and indeed for each individual human. The level of technological advancement only comprises a small piece of that picture.

You could continue with questions in this vein more or less infinitely. And the answer to each question would vary substantially depending on the nation/community/individual that you chose to focus on. And each answer would potentially have an impact when trying to analyze how the current culture came about.

To answer your single hypothetical question, I think one of the primary contributing factors to the reduced working hours for many wealthy western European countries when compared to the US is the relative level of financial and social inequality along with the taxation rate. For France et all, the tax rate is significantly higher and the level of social support is correspondingly higher.

This reduces some of the necessity of working more hours, because the variability of income is reduced. If low-income people still make enough money and have enough benefits to make a decent life, they don't need to work so many hours just to survive. Also, high-income people will have a reduced incentive to work so many hours because the overall financial benefit is relatively smaller when compared to the US where you can avoid taxation to a much greater extent.

Technology is not inherently bad or good, it is a tool and like all tools, those who design and make it can do so for more control or less control.

If technology was truly in the hands of the people, everything was open source, changeable and collaborative then it would make our lives better.

It’s October 2024 and I’m sitting here in my creative maker studio, wearing a bright t-shirt that excitedly bellows “MQTT 25”! To my left is a top-end Bambu Lab X1C 3D printer, that uses MQTT internally for communication. On my wall are a variety of connected gadgets that display data or that light up in response to MQTT notifications. Node-RED is sitting quietly on a Raspberry Pi in the corner, processing MQTT messages as they come and go.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the publication of what would become the initial MQTT specification.

I’m not going to post a complete history of the past two (plus) decades of this technology, but for those just joining… what the heck is MQTT, and… how did I come to be involved?

Connecting things

Here’s the tl;dr – MQTT is a network protocol that was originally designed to enable small devices on lightweight or patchy networks (we’re going back to the late 1990s, remember!) to publish and collect / receive data. Say you’re an environmental monitoring device in a far-flung area where there’s occasional network coverage, and you have limited power available – it’s important that you use power and network bandwidth and availability efficiently, to send sensor information (in a minimal, but useful, format) to a larger system. MQTT is a great fit here. It turns out that a highly optimised and efficient protocol like this, also scales up extremely well. As networks got better (faster, more stable, and more widespread), and as we moved through a period of greater access to efficient computing devices for edge-of-network, home automation, and in-your-pocket use cases, MQTT remained highly valuable. The simplicity of the protocol is very powerful.

What’s my connection?

In 2001 I got my second full-time job after university, and joined IBM as an IT Specialist – a consultant working with IBM software, primarily on-site with their customers, implementing what we used to call business integration, message queueing, application connectivity, middleware etc.

Within a few years I was pretty experienced within the IBM middleware portfolio – I’d been helping to implement banking payment systems and other projects using “full size” IBM MQ. Around that time, IBM was starting a marketing push around something they would ultimately call Smarter Planet. I’d gravitated towards IBM’s fantastic Hursley Lab as an engineering hub in the UK, the home of MQ and also, the base of Andy Stanford-Clark, who was one of my mentors. A bunch of us from there started to hack with this MQTT thing, which was at that time externally published as a protocol, but little-known or implemented outside of IBM. I became something of an accidental advocate for MQTT, and looking back now, I count that as my first “developer relations / developer advocacy” role, even though it was informal and my day job was something different¹.

Looking back in this blog, I was posting about MQTT regularly back through ~2009-2011, which was really the period where we started to make progress in socialising the protocol beyond smaller IBM implementations. We went from having a small number of message brokers – the enterprise and very expensive IBM WebSphere Message Broker, and the excellent but closed-source microbroker and, also closed-source but freely-available Really Small Message Broker from the labs – to Roger Light‘s creation of the Open Source Mosquitto, which remains one of the more widely-used free implementations out there². I was one of the folks who had the keys to the MQTT Twitter account and community website, and one of my goals as developer advocate was sharing and promoting all of the cool ways that folks were using the protocol³.

In 2011 I was heavily involved in IBM’s donation of its MQTT implementations to the Eclipse community, as the Eclipse Paho project. After I left IBM in 2012, I continued to have a strong connection, and I played a role on the Paho project through my next job at Cloud Foundry; but, after I joined Twitter in 2014 I needed to step back from formal involvement. That was the time at which MQTT went through formal standardisation, at OASIS and ISO/IEC.

Success and growth

It is not my place or part in the story to talk in depth about the different companies that have thrived in the past 15 years, and helped to make MQTT as ubiquitous as it has become, but it is truly one of my most proud personal achievements, helping this technology grow to beyond the walls of IBM – into an open protocol success story. Today, 25 years on, it is in many things and places you may not realise – hobbyists and makers use it, it’s used in (for example) Dyson’s air filters and their associated apps, in 3D printer control systems, in home alerting, and across industry and manufactuing. It’s almost certain that more than one of the apps on your phone right now, is using MQTT somewhere in the stack.

Andy Stanford-Clark recently did a “fireside chat” with our friends at HiveMQ. This is worth a look, and a much better place to learn more. HiveMQ also have a podcast series called The Unstructured Message that you can subscribe to for more!

Examining Octavia Butler's unpublished Parable of the Sower sequels

I gotta say that I feel weird reading this examination of Octavia Butler's notes.

I'm reading Parable of the Talents right now, and I had to stop. It's gotten too fucking dark. It's about the fascist takeover of America by Christian Nationalists, and a major character just died, and there is sexual exploitation of children... I really like Butler and Parable of the Sower, but this just got so dark I decided to read the summary and find out if I wanted to read more, and I don't think I can read this, at least not right now.

Reading about the unpublished sequels feels even worse. It seems like Butler had a head full of so much darkness and cynicism, and her published works were just the processed output after she managed to find the least brutal version of her thoughts. These books were her at her most hopeful! YIKES.

I like her and these books, but I just had to vent about some of this.

Wow, this is super interesting. I don't know if these sequels would have been successful (premise seems removed from the realism that made the published books so great), but if anyone could pull it off, it's Butler.

It'd have been a sad but potentially interesting critique of power to show Olamina become a darker character, as was suggested. Idk how I feel about the next book jumping to Earthseed having fulfilled its mission (in part) - seems like there'd need to be a transitional book with them making all the preparations under potentially new leadership first.

Yeah. I think there's a lot she could do with the stories, but I really need more hope right now. I think Parable of the Sower managed to provide just enough of that.

I don't fault her for being so brutal. It's honest. Reading both this and Parable of the Sower, I couldn't help thinking that there are people in Haiti and Palestine for whom these books are just their present reality. I even feel bad that I'm so demoralized, because I know that I need to toughen up. This is what the real world looks like. But I need to have enough composure to be an effective dad and activist, and it takes a balance for me to do that. Too much truth can leave me too drained and despondent to be the force in the world I want to be.

In the bustling city of Campo Grande, Brazil, an abandoned bus stop has been revived and reimagined by DUUDOOR, an innovative artist collective consisting of father and son duo, Ernando Jacques Sanches and Eduardo Fernando Savala Sanches.

The pair had been on a hiatus from art, seeking inspiration and motivation to return to creating. When some friends showed them a project where a local artist had infused new life into a bus stop with Simpsons-themed art in Porto Murtinho, they knew they had found their muse.

Excited by the idea of not only creating art but also revitalizing neglected urban spaces, DUUDOOR set to work on their own bus stop project. What emerged was not just an aesthetic transformation of an ordinary space, but a demonstration of the power of art to spark joy and community engagement.

After completion, they reflected on the gratifying experience of witnessing the impact of their art. It was a reminder of art’s power to transform and inspire. This first project was financed solely by DUUDOOR’s own resources, but their work’s impact has led to offers of support for future projects, for which they are deeply appreciative.

Rejuvenating forgotten corners of the city with art, DUUDOOR’s project is a testament to the transformative power of creativity. Their initiative invites us all to imagine how we might use our own talents to breathe life into spaces around us. It’s a powerful example of how art can not only beautify a space but also bring together a community.

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io obviously `context` isn't good enough to identify the thread relationship. Trying to hijack it is contrary to the AS2 spec and common interoperability. One proposal tries to specify it by duck-typing every object; the other by defining a new Collection type. The clearest way to define the relationship is with a property, `thread`, which is specific, clear, and requires no other changes.

"context" isn't good enough to identify any relationship; this is the fundamental problem. It is a property that should never have existed. Today it identifies one relationship: the (loosely defined) thread. I would argue that this is in fact "common interoperability". I would also argue that this fully meets the incredibly vague letter of the ActivityStreams specification.

I have yet to see an alternative use of context that would not be better served by inventing a more specific term. Yes, this applies to use of context for thread too, but we have 7 years of its user to identify the thread as a defacto standard.

i don’t think “conversational thread” is a special semantic relationship, and i certainly don’t think it is equal or equivalent to a reply tree! the basis of 7888 is that context should be used for purposeful logical grouping, as it was intended and as it ended up being used in pleroma for years. an unresolvable opaque uri is 7888-compliant. so is a collection with an owner. so is anything else. but IF it is a collection,

…then it makes sense that the collection ought to contain items sharing the same contextual grouping. it’s similar to how hashtags are content-addressed grouping, but less purposeful, and no one owns them. the key is that even if you can’t resolve anything out of whatever is in context, you can still use it for grouping by opaque string matching. so there’s clearly defined graceful fallback.

as far as reply trees go, it should be clear that they are not the same as a conversation or context, and inReplyTo exists completely separate and parallel to contextual grouping. the “reply tree” model falls apart the second you reply to multiple things, or reply to something in a different context, or reply and change the context, or set a context but no inReplyTo. i’m not sure why you say Announce has anything to do with it

I have an example of a reply to multiple things in the FEP.

"Comment but don't participate in thread" is a quote boost. It also works for forking to a new thread.

So, that's what `Announce` has to do with it.

Conversation threads are *usually* reply trees, and we should optimize for that easy base case. The advanced tree-pruning and -grafting you describe are possible with a reply tree.

this is an anti-pattern. conversations are only represented by reply trees when there isn't an actual conversation. reply trees are a poor substitute for that.

> "Comment but don't participate in thread" is a quote boost.

i'm talking about participating in a thread without responding explicitly to anything. or responding to something, but in a different thread. no one is boosting anything.

Als Antwort auf infinite love ⴳ • 10 Monate her • •

Maybe we need to agree that we are talking about different things.

I think that `context` is great for a related collection of objects, including for a project or event, as defined in AV.

For the specific collection of objects that are members of the same reply tree, we can use `thread`.

If it doesn't matter to specify that it's a thread, you can link to the exact same collection with `context`. It is, after all, also a related collection.

Als Antwort auf Evan Prodromou • 10 Monate her • •

Sure, it's possible to declare both a `context` being whatever grouping, and a `thread` being specifically a reply tree. (Perhaps `thread` should be renamed to `replyTree`, and `root` should be renamed to `replyTreeRoot`?)

I'm specifically against conflating the two concepts, though. I also would prefer to not give `inReplyTo` any undue deference beyond simply being metadata. For as many systems that rely on it, there are systems that don't.

Als Antwort auf infinite love ⴳ

Evan Prodromou

Als Antwort auf infinite love ⴳ • 10 Monate her • •

sounds great.

I'm going to stick with `thread` and `root`.

They're already namespaced, and these are clear terms for these concepts.

Thanks for the help with additional use cases on forking and grafting. I'm going to add some explicit user stories to the FEP and show how each one can be handled.

Als Antwort auf Evan Prodromou • 10 Monate her • •

One thing to note: If the AS2 context extension policy ever gets adopted and these terms likewise get adopted into the w3.org/ns/activitystreams context document via that process (or any other process), then this creates an issue for any other case where someone wants to use the plain-JSON keys `thread` and `root`.

3D Zebra Crosswalk To Slow Down Speeding Cars

In the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in pedestrian crossing safety has just popped up – almost literally. A new kind of speed bumps has been painted that appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion.

Not only does the innovative design give foot-travelers the feeling of walking on air, but the 3D painting also gets the attention of drivers, who will be sure to slow down their speed once they spot the seemingly floating ‘zebra stripes.’ Icelandic environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla called for its placement in Ísafjörður after seeing a similar project being carried out in New Delhi, India. With the help of street painting company Vegmálun GÍH, his vision of pedestrian crossing signs became a reality.

[Request For Comments] Can you recommend any groups/books/papers/blogs/keywords/etc on the topic of UN reform and global constitutionalism?

Wasn't quite sure where to ask the question in the title, or if this is even the right question to ask, but figured a Solarpunk community would be most likely to have the answers I'm looking for...

My reasoning is we are facing some global problems here, you know with all the climate change and whatnot; So we need global solutions for them; Therefore the obvious solution seems to be the United Nations 2.0, or League of Nations 3.0 if you will. Basically a global constitutional assembly, hopefully before it all devolves into total war again this time, or worse.

So I want to read up on what thought or maybe even activism there is out there specifically in this regard. Anything to read, recent or historic, you can recommend?

Any thoughts you want to share? Why can or can't this work? Am I being to naive here? Explain it Like I am 5 please!

I think you are being naive. The LofN failed, the UN is now failing too.

None of them really can do much other than issue recommendations, which are then used for political plays for optics on the international stage. They by definition cannot solve problems. That said some related incentives have succeeded, such as the WHO. The idea of a United earth authority is not unappealing, but it needs to have teeth, and that's not easy to achieve, because geopolitical power today stems from cultivating economic dependence and nuclear stockpiles, without both, the any United earth is out of the question.

However, I think something like the European Federation is in theory, more feasible, these countries are not only dependant on each other, but they are culturally adjacent, an easier sell. However even that is extremely difficult, potentially impossible, in a world where national idea won over the solidarity idea. EU is failing too.

The EU is failing because some of the individual member states are too strong. The same is true on global level where some overly large states or similar constructs form competing power blocks.

Increasing regional integration is basically a local optimum that makes global integration impossible.

That's kind of the crux here though, it can solve problems and it does. People are being fed by the UN every day. Yes, it's not good enough at solving the problems it is charged with solving. But that makes improving upon it the obvious course of action, does it not? What else is there except apathy?

Bodies like the LvN and UN are inherently going to fail to achieve peace because they rely on willing compliance with almost zero enforcement mechanisms.

Because having enforcement mechanisms slams face first into the principle of state sovereignty.

The only way you'll build a world government is through the slow, grinding establishment of transnational federations like the proposed European Federation and East African Federation. Technically India is that already. Pan-Arabism seeks to establish a state of this sort.

The UN won't become an effective governing body until it's made the governing body of a united federation of earth, probably built over a VERY long period of state mergers between democratic nations.

Picture how unlikely it would be just for all of NATO to agree to a single constitution for all of them to join as a single state, now scale that up exponentially for the amount of work it'd take to convince Russia or China to democratically merge with such a state.

I agree on the state sovereignty part. But both the LvN and UN bettered the world within their limited means, while obviously more often failing than succeeding. So I don't agree on the failure part entirely. They may be inherently aspirational, but they tried and managed to improve conditions somewhat, exactly by being an (if ever so slight) impediment on state sovereignty that didn't exist before.

But yeah the general consensus seems to be that the UN is a failure, so I'm just looking for people who are thinking about what to do about that. Seems like the only people talking about it are the World Bank and Russia with its multipolar world order.

I have no suggestions of groups, books, papers, blogs and etc regardin global constitutionalism, but I have an opinion.

Creating bigger and stronger governments will only lead to the protection of an elite that is way too irresponsible with their powers.

Right now the vibe is against oil, gas and pollutants and in favor of sustainability mostly globally. It’s genuinely very hard to find someone that says: “I don’t care about microplastics, “I have no issue with air pollutants causing cancer” and “I don’t care we are trashing the ocean”.

And this is sort of where solarpunk fits extremely well in. I don’t know if governments and corporations will solve the climate crisis, but goddamn I’ll do my part and help businesses and others do their part too.

Well I clearly see the danger. The many against the few is a problem as old as society. And where there is power, there will be abuse. And every system we have, like separation of powers and checks and balances, is flawed. But the cold hard truth is that we have run out of time and I don't really see any other viable solutions. If somebody has one please let me know, that's why I made this post.

Help me open source ClubsAll - need a senior security engineer to review code

Hello everyone,
We built clubsall, a frontend for federated content.
Since the goal is to help build a reddit competitor, open sourcing is the logical next step.
However, without a review, I am afraid website could get hacked quickly.
Does someone with experience in scanning code for security issues or white hat hacking wants to help increase confidence so I can open source it?

An interesting short: "HYPERVOLTAIC CHRONICLES" by THE LINE ANIMATION

cross-posted from: slrpnk.net/post/14202920

There was a post on Reddit that praised the ubiquitous "Dear Alice" commercial, and inevitably a comment criticizing praise for a commercial. This led to me to wonder more about who it was that made this famous solarpunk advertisement. The answer is an animation studio called The Line. I went looking at some of their other work, and came across this interesting demo short for what appears to be a proof of concept or pilot for a solarpunky animated monster hunting series.
I don't love the heavy use of guns. But setting that aside, I think the art is interesting. I'm fascinated to see what people are doing with the artistic and conceptual toolset solarpunk offers, and I think this is a use case that I wouldn't mind seeing more of.
Unfortunately, this demo is as far as the project went. But I'm happy to see that the folks at The Line appear to have some broader interest in solarpunk, and I hope they keep putting it into practice in unique ways.

How these volunteers are getting solar power to help Hurricane Helene’s disaster zone

About 23,500 of the 1.5 million customers that lost power in western North Carolina still lacked electricity on Sunday, according to Poweroutage.us. Without it, they can’t keep medicines cold or power medical equipment or pump well water. They can’t recharge their phones or apply for federal disaster aid.

The Footprint Project is scaling up its response to this disaster with sustainable mobile infrastructure. It has deployed dozens of larger solar microgrids, solar generators and machines that can pull water from the air to 33 sites so far, along with dozens of smaller portable batteries.

With donations from solar equipment and installation companies as well as equipment purchased through donated funds, the nonprofit is sourcing hundreds more small batteries and dozens of other larger systems and even industrial-scale solar generators known as “Dragon Wings.”

Regensburg bis München war nur insofern ein „Problem“ als dass die Bahn hier statt REs einfach alte S-Bahnen einsetzt, die entsprechend windig, laut, und schlecht gepolstert sind. Zwei Stunden (mit längerem Stehen, dank Verspätung eines vorhergehenden Zuges) sind da schon maximale Obergrenze.

In München angekommen ist der RE5 so voll, dass wir selbst in den Gängen eng gedrängt stehen. Etwa 1/4tel der Sitze sind von Taschen und Koffern belegt, die Gänge mit Bikes zugestellt. Regionalverkehr am Wochenende halt.

In München Ost bleiben wir dann stehen und werden aus dem Zug gebeten. „Stellwerksschaden“ und damit keine Weiterfahrt nach Prien. Die holen wir im 101 Minuten verspäteten EC nach und sind gegen halb sechs (geplant war halb eins) endlich am See.

Mit Klettern und/oder Trailrun ist es heute damit Puste, schauen wir mal ob wir es morgen schaffen.

Economy of the Common good could be Solarpunk adjacent

I found this the other day, while I was paddling with a green kayak. I would not say it is solarpunk, but I think it could lead us to the right direction

What is the Economy for the Common Good?

ECG is an economic model, which makes the Common Good, a good life for everyone on a healthy planet, its primary goal and purpose.

At the heart of this concept lies the idea that values-driven businesses are mindful of and committed to:

Human Dignity
Solidarity and Social Justice
Environmental Sustainability
Transparency and Co-Determination

Such businesses gain a competitive advantage in this new economy.

The good thing about this "new economy" is that it is compatible with capitalism in such that you can start with your current company, but make an extra Matrix, which can then be used by other companies.

It is already in use and not an inaccessible theoretical idea, which might never work.

They've been doing a bunch of cool solarpunk art for a bit, and they've started releasing it CC-BY (I think) including on wikimedia commons, which is great because otherwise the solarpunk category over there was mostly a bunch of AI art and proposed flags. (I'd added some of my photobashes so it wasn't just AI representing the genre, but I'm very glad to have them contributing art with a lot of intent behind it.) I think a lot of the planning for their scenes comes from the solarpunk prompts podcast these days.

Huh I didn't know that. I'll make sure to keep out an eye for their work. Btw was looking through your website and I like how thought out your photobashes are.

Also as an aside since it seems you put a lot of thought into this kind of stuff do you have any thoughts on how much of a solarpunk future can run on only renewable material? I see a lot of art that focuses on solar panels and stuff but I've recently been thinking that it might not be possible to have too many of those long term because repairing them probably would require a complex supply chain and extraction process that we probably would have to move away from as society gets transformed.

Thanks!

I do have thoughts on that! This might be a little jumbled as it's mostly off the cuff, but I think how much a society can be run only on renewable materials will depend on how much they're willing to change their whole default framework, and what they're prepared to give up in the short and long term to do it. Degrowth and library economy concepts would certainly apply. (I really like library economy stuff because I really like reuse).

I think there's an abundance of resources, from existing usable items to raw materials which have already been extracted already accessable to us out in the world.

Thanks!

I think there's an abundance of resources, from existing usable items to raw materials which have already been extracted already accessable to us out in the world.

Right now there's this default pipeline from extracted raw material to new (ideally fragile/flimsy/disposable) products to landfill. A library economy on steroids might include both tons of long-term reuse of whatever's already been made, but also recycling of available materials that have already been extracted. There'll always have to be new manufacture but ideally it'd be much reduced and anything made new would be designed to last and to be fixable. But that takes a ton of commitment on a societal level to using less and to sorting and distributing everything that already exists. It means mining junkyards and landfills for already-extracted raw materials and generally changing how we do things.

When it comes to energy, I think there's a sort of hurdle we have to get over - first we need to get most of our energy to renewable, then we can optimize for long term repairability. There's a lot of interesting recycling processes ramping up for solar panels, and as I understand it, there are less-efficient designs that are more fixable. So for the short term, I suspect whatever designs get the job done we use, and after that, we can start adjusting for long term.

My art tends to be of a society that's as obsessed with reuse and externalities as ours is with money. They're a society of scavengers and fixers and makers. That handwaved cultural change is sort of what I've chosen for my spec fix suspension of disbelief. Most of the tech I include already exists, but examining what a society that makes all its decisions around reducing harm would do with them is what I really enjoy.

Als Antwort auf JacobCoffinWrites

Danterious

Als Antwort auf JacobCoffinWrites • 10 Monate her • •

Honestly I love the direction you are going with this. I agree with you about the abundance especially if the people in this world have culturally shifted so that most things do get shared. And I do think that in a real life transition we would definitely see a lot of people scavenging and recycling stuff and relying on each other for daily needs.

I also think it would be cool to see how much of nature we can use to enhance existing technology or maybe even create a whole new tech tree that is run with mutual relationships with different organisms. Like there was a group of scientist that found bacteria that produce concrete when exposed to water and another group that is working on a chemical computers. What if we reinforce buildings by planting trees that grew around them, worked with some animals to build stuff that benefits both them and us at the same time, or used organic computing (maybe using slime molds) to do complex, long term, calculations without the need for electricity and it being much less fragile.

The thing is that for what I'm describing it wouldn't

Introduction

Hi all!

We’re a fledgling movement with a handful of members in Africa and then me who is currently in Sweden. We have some plans for various projects in Africa that align well with the overall ideas of the solarpunk movement. I’m here hoping to make new friends and learn about what everybody else is doing.
I believe that change is possible on a global scale, and that the hegemony of the mainstream, greed fueled, centralized status quo can be challenged most effectively by a global movement of decentralized, grassroots communities working together.

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through our entire site! I’m so happy to hear that it inspired you. This means a lot to us! Ghana is a beautiful country, but a lot of people there are also struggling because of the living conditions our global society has afforded them.

I wholeheartedly agree with your theory! The trauma is insane and it runs so deep. How do we communicate the need for this to people and enable them to be a part of the solution?
I’m also passionate about talking to people about the need to understand our own minds, so we don’t become slaves to our instincts. I think that’s another key component.

How to move daily computing/electronics to solar?

I got a little inspired by the solar powered EDC post and it made me think about my computing setup. I use a modern smartphone and a higher-end desktop that is almost always on. I also have an e-reader and some ear buds. I often charge the smaller devices with a power bank. It would be interesting to see if I could move my computing from my desktop to a (preferably second hand) laptop and find a means of charging all of these devices without using the electricity from the utility company.

I already have a small 250W solar array on top of my garage with three golf cart batteries. It runs some lights and occasionally charges devices via USB on the controller. The issue is that it is a bit of a hassle to use due to the garage not being well sealed or climate controlled. It's dusty and there's grease and other things from my mechanical projects and it's always very hot or cold depending on the time of year.

The perplexing part of this for me is charging laptops. Inverters are wildly inefficient but I'm not sure of a way to sufficiently charge (or power) a laptop without on

You can always look for a 12V car adapter charger for your laptop. For older 19V input ones (or similar) they are quite cheap and not that inefficient.

Modern laptops with USB-C power-delivery complicate things a bit as they use variable voltage and thus you need a special charger.

The perplexing part of this for me is charging laptops. Inverters are wildly inefficient but I’m not sure of a way to sufficiently charge (or power) a laptop without one. What are some solutions here?

What you want is called a downconverter. It will accept a wide range of inputs e.g. 22-40V and will output the voltage you need. Example. I am powering a small computer from a 48V e-bike battery with one of those. (Well not that one exactly as they do not accept up to 48V, but the same type of thing)

Check on your laptop power supply what output voltage it has. 19V is common but there are 12V ones as well. You will need to solder a fitting connector. Some can be bought, but more often than not, they cost the same as a second hand supply.

About 6 months ago I moved from a big desktop to a laptop with much less compute power. I had to change a lot of my workflow and software because I didn't realise how much background compute and stuff everything was doing on the desktop.

I do miss some of the features, but overall I feel better about myself and my situation. I feel more in control and aware of what is going on with my hardware and that is satisfying.

I was able to tune the desktop down to about 65-85W usage, but prior to all that, it was pulling like 180W just doing nothing. I found the most gains by turning down my monitor from 100hz to 60hz and turning on eco mode for the CPU in the BIOS. The laptop uses about 10W even under load.

Best of luck with the switch!

I use two Ecoflow batteries, a smaller 2kAh model and a 4kAh one. I have solar panels on my Garage roof, the big battery lives there. I charge bike batteries directly with the big battery, and use the big one to charge the small one for use in the house.

The setup is expensive overall, but the results are great. The batteries have USB C that can charge laptops and other devices, and the AC outlets are powerful enough for the vaccum cleaner, coffee machine, basically everything in the house that can be plugged into an outlet other than some power tools.

Edit: Actually I haven't installed the panels yet, I've been too busy. When I first posted it seemed like an unimportant detail, but yeah, no. I have been using the little battery for about 18months already with a smaller portable panel that moves around the yard to get the best sunlight, so the details about using the batteries are true. But I'm still unsure how to charge one battery with the other. The AC outlets will work for this, but the conversion losses are a problem, and I'm looking into how to do DC transfer.

Als Antwort auf keepthepace • 10 Monate her • •

Techno-optimism means thinking that a technological solution will fix our issues. As solarpunks we, for example, are critical of a lot of tech uses and a lot of incentives that do not allow the best tech to emerge just by being “better tech” like a tech optimist would think. Check out Californian ideology stuff.

About longtermism: basically it’s caring less about the suffering of today thinking about working towards better condition for the people of tomorrow. In a stupid simple way: giving 10€ to research for fusion instead of using them to feed a child for one month because people will suffer anyway and the faster we arrive at the fusion the less people will suffer.

That said, I don’t think kurzgesagt is that much tech optimist, it’s just a channel that focuses on harder sciences so it’s easier to focus on “can this technology work” more than “can this policy work”

For the longtermism part, some video ye lol

I was about the fully agree with you and still upvoted your comment but their perspective on climate politics is very techno optimistic and actively anti-degrowth and against trying out new ways to organize our society. It's one thing to focus on technological solutions but they also talk against other ways to solve things. Watch the video in my first comment for a deep dive into it.

It’s about probability… Like an AI will have the same bias as the data it’s trained on, only talking about data and trends when talking about politics shows us the most probable stuff without taking into account the very good solutions.

Basically what I’m saying is: kurzgesagt it’s not a politics channel but a science one. They take data and read it for us. At most they are being a bit reactionary, but I wouldn’t say techno optimist :/

We want to aim to solarpunk society for sure but that doesn’t mean we have to ignore that it’s slow, hard and the actual trend is different.

I don't see how being critical and optimistic about tech is mutually exclusive. And tech is solving some of our issues and will solve more in the future. Not all of them, but to me being tech-positive and understanding technologies can be sustainable is at the core of solarpunk.

About longtermism, ok, I did had that definition of the term. But to me solarpunk is not about being delusional about the climate crisis but still being optimistic about the horizon past it.

Cyberpunk was co-opted by the Californian ideology but “techno-optimism” I don’t think so…

Techno-optimism has always been used to criticize this attitude, together with techno-chauvinism. Techno-utopianism is a less loaded term that might encompass more positive visions of technology, like the attitude towards space exploration in the 60's coming from the soviet union.

"Optimism" in general is not necessarily the term we want to reclaim from the right: it's wishy-washy, boring, mediocre. "I'm not going to do much, I'll be on autopilot, because tech is good and it will sort stuff out. I don't care too much about taking a position, beyond passively trusting tech". Optimism is the happy trust of a dog on a leash going for a walk.

Isn't optimism the raison d'être of solarpunk? It is a reaction to dystopias and proposes an optimistic view of the future.

solarpunk is inherently utopian. Utopias exist to inspire and to reflect on the present. It tells us that there can be a social system in which technology is good, but then if to be optimistic or not is very subjective. Many pessimistic people like utopias exactly because they highlight the ugliness of reality.

I think there is some overlap. Solarpunk is a bit more grounded in simple solutions that are needed now but long term I think we have somewhat similar goals.

Technically, I think solarpunk is both optimistic about technology and concerned with long-term issues, just not to the illogical extreme of some members of those movements.

For me, Longtermism doesn't just mean thinking about long term consequences but it implies not caring about today's problems like climate change and poverty because the needs of the future generations outweigh the needs of our generation. I come from a perspective of "building the new in the shell of the old" and achieving long terms goals that way which is the opposite of Longtermism.

Well that’s kind of what I meant by taking long-term thinking to an illogical extreme. I’m not plugged into that community enough to say whether that is universal or just one voice among many. If that is the predominant view that we need to ignore present or even what most people would consider long-term problems in favor of trillions of future AI souls or whatever then I agree there is a bigger conflict.

I’ve not seen kurzegesagt saying anything like that though. Even in the video criticized above they are discussing the importance of dealing with climate change, albeit in a way that is not sufficiently critical of existing social structures.

Longtermism doesn’t mean long term thinking and techno optimism doesn’t mean not being negative about technology my friend

I understand your point but we have to accept that longtermism and technoptimism are the terms we use for what you call extreme. Like racism is not just “talking about race” and so on :)

We have a term to call ourself and it’s solarpunks!

The core difference between longtermism and solarpunk is that longtermism stems from an utilitarian frame, while solarpunk rejects it. Radical utilitarianism like longtermist fashos and oligarchs gives them a way out to commit the worst crimes against humanity because of a supposed good that will materialize in a distant future. It's a moral free pass, exploiting the life of future humans (who cannot protest) to justify the oppression and exploitation of current humans (who are indeed protesting these assholes).

Solarpunk and longtermism are in no way on the same spectrum.

Thank you, TTT's video was what i thought of.
Worth mentioning for anyone wondering why, that green growth is not compatible with solarpunk, because solarpunk has a large intersection with degrowth.

The truth about mass migration

Edit: Please watch the video before commenting or reporting this... it seems like a lot of people assume it is some right-wing BS based on the title alone, which I can assure you it very much isn't.

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/20625279

From the description:
"I'm Andres Acevedo and this is The Market Exit. During the migration crisis of 2015, the small country of Sweden admitted a very large number of refugees. What effects did this surge of migrants to Swedish have on the Swedish economy? To find out, I met professor Peo Hansen, author of the book "A Modern Migration Theory" and from our conversation, I realized that many of the economic models we use for assessing our economy and society are deeply flawed.
In the conversation, we talk about the field of research called the fiscal impact of migration. We talk about the difference between real resources and financial resources. We talk about the so-called brain drain within the European Union. We talk about why politicians are so afraid of speaking the truth about migration."

This video looks to me like it’s ideologically driven and doesn’t really want to understand immigration and the economy.

Reducing the effects of migration to the economy is also far too simple. Crime, social cohesion, demography, infrastructure, education, pensions, debt, housing are all affected by migration.

They think they're going to build a god to save us all. In the form of a perfectly rational machine (in their view), the perfect authoritarian. A mysterious algorithm noone can understand that must be correct because it's made of mathematics. I'm a little freaked out.

They’re rebranding American Christian milenaranism. Much like the second coming and/or the rapture, the AGI god will be here Real Soon Now, so please pay your tithes and trust that the church fathers are doing the right thing.

Much like the older cults it mirrors, it isn’t capable of delivering on its promises, but it is capable of doing substantial amounts of regular damage in the meantime, and that’s the only thing worth freaking out about.

Steinböcke und Toast am Morgen

Ach, ich liebe das neue Haus. Nicht nur, weil es innen so schön warm-hell und gemütlich ist, sondern auch, weil das Haus wirklich eine Minute vom nächsten Naturwald und zwei Minuten vom Nutzwald entfernt ist. Also bin ich heute Morgen zum ersten Mal hier

Also bin ich heute Morgen zum ersten Mal hier joggen gegangen. Apple Watch und Garmin haben ja „Trackback“ Features, also habe ich nicht viel geplant, habe meine Entfernung auf 5 km gestellt, und bin los.

Die Sonne ist gerade aufgegangen und ich habe meinen Atem schon sehen können. Ist ziemlich flach, also in den Wald und dann durch ein paar Höfe auf der anderen Seite (eine Alpaca-Farm ist da auch dabei), und plötzlich stand ich unter Hirschen und Steinböcken.

Der Wildpark ist ganze 2.5 Kilometer vom Haus, und anscheinend haben die Tiere hinten ziemlich weiten Spielraum bis fast an die Höfe ran. Habe einen Steinbock gestreichelt, der wohl auf der Suche nach Futter in meinen Taschen war, und bin dann wieder zurück gejoggt.

The minutes from yesterday's Forum and Threaded Discussions Task Force monthly meeting can be found at this Google Docs link

Apologies in advance if I misrepresented anybody or missed any crucial bits of information.

Of note:

Mastodon and its treatment of non-note items

Darius Kazemi (@darius@friend.camp) reports that Hometown already supports improved conversion of non-note items (like as:Article) into statuses, and that this serves as a working proof-of-concept towards getting this merged upstream into Mastodon proper.
We discussed briefly the Mastodon PR approval process and how it sometimes drives away contributions
- Darius emphasized the importance of showing real user support to facilitate the merging of pull requests.
