I don't know much about co-ops and education. But this is an interesting development:

If you want to enable a new kind of Internet I suggest you get yourself to the 2018 #DWebSummit at the @internetarchive
The 2016 event was a watershed moment. Both @matrixdotorg and @ipfsbot launched there amidst a rich tapestry of technology, philosophy, ethics, and activism.
I'm going to work with my IA friends to make sure that more #platformcoop will be on offer. In 2016 Maira Sutton from Shareable was there, hoping for a lot more.

On birdsite people looking for a certain neoliberal mistakenly @ me. Looking for a good way to respond... Any Die Linke folks here who want to help with some good snark?
Everything in our world will soon be technology-mediated. @anildash offers some wisdom on how we can make these changes in a net-positive way. Recommended.

It was a blistering July day in Las Vegas, with temps hitting 109. Inside the SIGGRAPH 91 convention hall Yello's Rubberbandman looped on the speakers. On each chair: a red/green paddle.
I was a student volunteer, stamping the finest hands in Computer Graphics. Those hands (and my own) each controlled those paddles. Then 5000 people looked up and saw a Pong Game appear on the screen.
And then.. the machine started playing us.

Surprised no one has mentioned the RChain / Resonate announcement yet. Two coops cooperating. Really interested in seeing what results.
Heard a CashCall radio ad to refinance and “buy the bitcoin dip”. Shades of 1999 #bubble when our WaMu loan officer told us invest our down payment...
@lindner I want that too. Key is making the model compatible with investment, and making a co-op structure that allows for the very fast material decisions that startups need. But all of that is possible! Co-operative structures can have very productive, fast management hierarchies while remaining accountable to their members and there are many positive business use cases.
Someone posted the 2016 talk by @aparrish a few days ago here. I found it to be one of the better ways of illustrating #cybernetic concepts.
Software is really just Variety Attenuation (The Law of and Requisite Variety). And the complexity of your model has to reflect the system under control. (Good Regulator Theorem)

I would dearly like to see open source and decentralized startups apply to Matter. I’m on your side. https://medium.com/matter-driven-narrative/build-the-media-platform-of-tomorrow-49e00e246d20?source=linkShare-3b16402f5b9d-1520003023
Imagine a github for #platformcoops
brainstorm features....
Since I'm on a roll with unpopular opinions these days...
When it comes to privacy and safety, people in your community, friends, family, mates - those are the ones who are interested in violating your privacy.
Victims usually know their rapists and murderers.
Friends-admining-for-friends-and-family is the WORST model there is for user privacy and safety. Hands down. The worst.
If safety is a goal, people should either run software themselves or be a needle in a well run megacorp haystack.
