A few single outliers are probably missing. Bring 'em back in, responding here, if you like?

> when the output of one process becomes the input to another

That sounds like a job for . . Superwiki! If each process was a page in a fedwiki (constructed from various pluigins, computing various stuff, drawing on data and results from other plugins/pages) then this capability would be a given.

Your wiki would be 'an app' not just a UI.

And self-documenting, if pages were thoughtfully written.

Puzzled . . @mako makes a clear pitch on "Free software production needs free tools" youtube.com/watch?v=U_nK6nP_RC
And is very clear on and (though says most code comes from solo not collaboration!). Yet not a hint of coop ownership of to keep tools honest & open (GitHub!). Surely tools today become platforms? And platforms require collaboration even if code doesn't? So why doesn't follow automatically, as we talk tools? How does libre not equal coop in FLOSS world?

Pretty damn please, if you publish something, anything, on a blog, site, whatever... I beg of you, make sure that publishing date is stated somewhere!

For example: how am I supposed to know, for example, if this is a freshly added new functionality, an old and since deprecated tech preview, or something in between?

Seriously, just display the damn publishing date, people!

I have this image of The Queue as a thread being slowly teased out of the wider population, a certain strand of the British community drawn into a manipulable form where it can be wound onto a giant bobbin and then put someplace secure where all those folk feel comfortable and safe. The stark dissonance between the gap-between-monarchs as a moment to reflect on the hideous brutality of Empire and royalty and how all the entrenched hierarchy it enables actively thwarts our work to find solidarity and fix a planet in terrible crisis, on the one hand, and all the heartwarming stories from The Queue on the other, is a dreadful symptom in itself of the sickness that allows corporations to erase ecosystems and empires to starve colonies for profit.

Toda died Pablo Fernández, a great man that always worked for others, and a great example that having a physical disability has nothing to do with a person's value (in Spanish): uxdi.org/20220911-fallecio-pab

Many knows him for hist TEDx talks (16 minutes, translated to english): youtu.be/_DgpIDlV_CY

His family, friends and colleagues are devastated, but his example will still inspire us while we live.

Australia elected a Labor PM in 1972 and briefly became independent, abolishing royal patronage and expressing solidarity with non-aligned countries.

Then MI6, the CIA, Nixon and the queen used "coupmasters" who previously worked on the coup against Indonesia's anti-colonial president Sukarno AND Chile's socialist leader Salvador Allende to trigger a "constitutional crisis" in Australia and simply fired the PM using "reserve powers."

They're figureheads until they're not

Not a coop. Not a commons. So, 'just' a player in the automotive market? No, some kind of 'social enterprise' - see the values of the NER Group.

Good old-fashioned workers' control? Plus ethics.
