Why arenβt the βgodfathersβ of AI talking about the massive data theft from artists & their lawsuits eg? Because that discourse is too beneath their genius brains to cover? Because they have to talk about grand endeavors like SAVING HUMANITY? Because their own practices would be also implicated?
Made it to my destination, a friends meadow, to camp. My kind of campsite, nobody else around π
... And a few more impressions along the way
(Sorry can't do image descriptions easily right now)
More joy, a little bike trip! π² πΏπ
Starting out along the same old railway path I used to ride along as a kid.
No matter how busy the coast gets, once you move away and up itβs a different story. Todayβs Daily #Wales is part of the old network of droversβ roads, this bit still in use, heading to Llety Lloegr - the βEnglish shelterβ, one of the stopping points on the journey east and south. #Cymru #photography #landscape #LandscapePhotography
catching up on the little reddit to lemmy migration thats happening and so cool to see all sorts of people joining the fediverse not even realizing it. that they can be followed and interacted with by the whole fediverse and not just lemmy is the most striking part of this situation though this is like a side note or added feature in a list of "reddit alternatives"
@becha thanks! irrational.org is a parked godaddy domain, maybe a typo somewhere?
What potential do you see with community mesh networks out of interest?
In the next city over we had https://www.bristolwireless.net which used to run rooftop wireless stuff, but from their experience: "the rise of 4G mobile technology has resulted in reduced reliance on fixed broadband and home phones. One consequence of this is that fewer people are interested in networking in general."
The truth about Jamie Driscoll goes much deeper than Labour factionalism. Here is the reality π

Nice article @neil π
And it introduced me the "Digital EcoSocialism" term I hadn't come across (https://longreads.tni.org/digital-ecosocialism).
My sense is we need local groups that can support local digital needs within an understanding of this wider context.
I'm slowly brewing a sense of how to do this here, but takes a lot of connections to build up first I think.
Today on #RIPE Labs: βecosocialismβ¦. with a strong anti-colonial and anti-capitalist sentiment that moves beyond private profit to socially useful and ecocentric production. Digital ecosocialism is the extension of ecosocialist ideals into the digital realm. It is ICT that embeds the values of planetary stability, social equity and agency throughout the sectorβ. https://labs.ripe.net/author/neil-mather/amazon-doesnt-care-how-you-heat-swimming-pools-ict-and-ecosocialism/ by @neil
And:
"The Hive should create a plan to create a dialogue with local groups in a sustained and meaningful way. The purpose of this should be to ensure rebels understand why having a disciplined structure is vital to our success"
I am wary of trying to "ensure" other people understand something.
I don't think understanding works that way, and I value the insight that comes from peoples own pathway to understand what they need to understand.
And:
"Make SOS training to intermediate level and follow up SOS refresher training and coaching as a requirement for all Coordinators"
I appreciate much about #XR.
Some language in latest strategy sounds more domination-based, less self-organising though:
"Extinction Rebellion has implemented a decentralised decision making system in the βSOSβ (Self-Organising System) which is resilient and effective. However, with many new rebels joining and many more expected to join the Extinction Rebellion fold over the next two years, there is a need to double down on its full use throughout the organisation."
π€© I'm very into non-commercialised social space, and hope this place can grow into a nice space for interesting encounters.
π» I write community/people-focused software (https://fosstodon.org/@karrot) also doing a bunch of local things now.... getting myself grounded here.
π³ I love growing food up at Dry Arch (https://bath.social/@DryArchGrowers), swimming in the river, camping out, cycle travel, ....etcetc..
