The #geekproblem need for "control" is a #blocking of our humanity.
#privacy
#encryptionists
#security
Vs
#geekproblem created this mess, #geekproblem cannot fix this mess.
The #geekproblem built the #dotcons The #geekproblem played its role in destroying alt-media and the #openweb
The #fahernistas embraced the mess for sugar and spices.
Shovels and composting come to mind - I use the shovel metaphor because its our sweat and work that will get us out of this mess.
The is no magic tech fix, it's a human problem that needs humane crew to solve it.
The #geekproblm blocking humanity.
Am trying to talk people through how to install Xmpp chat - its way #geekproblem
And "conversations" is the easiest/best #openweb chat app we have found....
The #geekproblem is coding for Serenity/security/certainty where it does not exist - this is the root to the withering tree of digital fascism.
It's anti-human not surprisingly.
The #geeksolution is trusting in humane networks to build their own workflow of "trust" this is the root to #4opens democracy.
This is human, all to human.
Yes I really do use the word "fascism" as this is where the current #techshitpile leave us with the pushing of #climatechoas driving righwing politics.
The #geek[problem see standards like a "cult" sees standards
The #geekproblem see #UX like a "cult" sees behaver.
Neo-liberalism sees economics like a "cult" sees the world. In this it can be seen as a #geekproblem as it has the same roots.
Have had this on the side of my blog for more than 10 years "A river that needs crossing political and tech – On the political side, there is arrogance and ignorance, on the geek side there is naivety and over complexity"
Just to add that I was involved in the history of these though took no part in the project ripping.
From my view you have two sides both deeply #geekproblem
The #open federates who were full on #fashernistas at #BeTheMedia
And the #silo centralized contoling of the (#encryptionists thinking) at mayday.
Open grassroots media was pushed onto the trash heap by #geekproblem agenders.
A bad outcome #indymediaback
We need to build #4opens based infrastructure. This needs to have radical social DNA at its roots #PGA and #indymediaback are examples of this. We need to abandon the 100s of pointless #geekproblem tech projects and at the same time step away from #NGO tech. An example of what we need #OMN a simple #KISS path out of this mess.
Approaches to security are subject of debate.
For example, in debate about security strategies, some argue that security depends on developing protective and coercive capabilities in order to protect the security referent in a hostile environment (and potentially to project that power into its environment, and dominate it to the point of supremacy). The #geekproblem strives for this outcome without putting it into words.
We are doing the same project at the #OMN though we clearly let the users/producers define the community growing from the grassroots use. If you don't trust the people you cannot have real democratic institutions and are left with feudal (#mainstreaming traditional open-source dev), capitalism (the #dotcons) or #geekproblem (most radical tech) as a path, none of these are the world we need to be building is my view.
Trust nobody is neo-liberalism in code "there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families"
The #encryptionsist and the #geekproblem need to be made to see this in their own works.
https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption The is no fix for this that the #geekproblem can come up with. the #encryponist agender is killing us all and this is not a metaphor #XR
Fluffy self-help advice for the #geekproblem we have to mediate to start to shovel the mess https://wiredforhappy.com/the-true-meaning-of-the-phrase-i-dont-trust-anyone/
#encryptionists #geekproblem #dotcons #stupidindividualism #deathcult its a mess that we need social sulutions too. Shovals and composting comes to mind #OMN
The implementation has suffered from the #geekproblem in that they have a #closed mod workflow rather than a #open trust based workflow. This is a normal issue and a clear #block on the rollout of #openweb projects. To be discussed.
This is a #peertube instance http://visionon.tv displaying a video from another peertube instance called kolektiva - they are talking #activitypub the same feed language as mastodon so their posts can be shared and commented on from your mastodon account but you might have to work out how to do this as it's still a bit of a #geekproblem
The #4opens takes how programmers think code should be written and tests it against how collectives feel code should be used.
It's a simple idea and not a new invention.
It is a #KISS core to overcoming the #geekproblem within the #openweb reboot of #OMN project.
The #4opens takes how programmers think code should be written and uses it as a test of how code should be used. Its a simple no new invention idea. It is #KISS core to overcoming #geekproblem with the #openweb reboot of #OMM project.
In webdev #KISS is more valuable than functionality as people can create their own functions and workflow from #KISS tools, but they can ONLY do what the #geekproblem tells them to do from functional tools.
I learn this from the rise and fall of the wonderful couch-surfing DIY project and the death of the bad couch-surfing #NGO project.
The #deathcult has played a role in main streaming the #geekproblem of course I like meany people, here, love #geek culture. Let's be clear what we are talking about. Click on the hashtag above to get a path to understanding what the problem am I talking about. If your interested that is :)
http://visionon.tv loving having a upto date #peertube instance. But the moderation tools are bad, they have a NEGATIVE agenda where it would be much better if they had a POSITIVE agender. We should be moving content not blocking content when we moderate. This is left over thinking from the #dotcons the problem we face is getting #geekproblem understanding of this "soft" approach against the instinkt for the fast "hard" defaults that come over from the mainstream.
