"in persuading people to buy things they don't need, with moeny they don't have, in order to impress others who don't care, commercial design is probably the phoniest field in existance today."

Is anyone creating videos and uploading them to #PeerTube?

I ask because I'd love to have something to watch on here. 😛

The ecological principle of unity in diversity grades into a richly mediated social principle; hence my use of the term social ecology.

The history of the catholic church and the papacy is constructed on targeted hate. From the antisemitism and racism it spread at its inception, today that hate for "the other" is aimed at LGBTQ people, in particular transgender people. Wim Wenders propagandising Pope Francis as a progressive is disappointing. I dont really care what good acts you do when one of their functions is to provide cover for you to spread hate of people who are already powerless, harmless and ostracized the world over.

If we do not do the impossible, we shall be faced with the unthinkable.

#introductions Hey y'all, I'm new to the whole mastodon)thing, but I'm happy to be here! V interested in programming and technical solutions to achieve #solarpunk results. I'm a #maker and #developer by habit and by trade, so ways to improve people's lives using tech is a genuine concern. I love #videogames #discworld #scifi and much more. #creative and #polyamorous and always down to talk.

There was a fuss that #peertube is bad, because users need to use #VPN to have some privacy and they cost money. Bandwidth costs money too and most small organizations can't afford running a video streaming service. No matter how hard they want. Most people can afford a cheap VPN though. There's even free VPN in Opera browser. Actually, maybe the PeerTube model is the best model we may get. People are not eager to donate money. Moving the costs on their side may be the only viable solution.

"(...) about 1.3 million children a year were working in tobacco fields in 2011 and, according to the UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO), the numbers are rising with a shift in tobacco growing from some of the better-off countries to some of the poorer"

I'm increasingly convinced we do need to establish an alternative physical network on a large scale if we want to circumvent all the bullshit political control over our existing comms medium.

From my research so far, cjdns meshnet over mid/long range wifi approach seems to be the most appropriate. Using it in concert with the latest decentralized tech like ssb/ipfs/dat we could create a serious uncensorable alternative.

Things you won't hear at E3:

"We made this game without mass-exploiting skilled labor, paying some of our workforce near-starvation wages, forcing people to do multi-hundred-hour crunches, getting themselves hospitalized, then laying them off."

Something else you won't hear at E3:

The eight-hour day is an anachronism when at current levels of productivity most people should be working only three. It was an achievement more than a hundred years ago when Uruguay made it the law in 1915, but it's not a great thing to not make any progress in a hundred years.

The show must move on.
