> 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.
Re-tooting this. A serious infrastructure question.
New to me, a whistleblowing/investigative journalism network. . .
https://theintercept.com/about/
A deep imbalance here, of intelligence forces. Journalism & whistleblowing are ¿no match? for
- corporate & state data-analytic machines +
- 'public' infrastructures 'wired for sound' +
- wage-work workforces in the psyops sector?
Hard to imagine what 'a balance' could look like. Let alone a *commons* of counter-hegemonic 'forces of intelligence'?

I've had an awareness for a couple of years, of Zuckerberg's intention to steal banking from the bankers, and pull the world's poorest smartphone users into a sticky platform-banking web. On cue, here comes #libracoin!

Puzzled . . @mako makes a clear pitch on "Free software production needs free tools" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_nK6nP_RCY&feature=youtu.be
And is very clear on #commons and #P2P (though says most code comes from solo not collaboration!). Yet not a hint of coop ownership of #platforms to keep tools honest & open (GitHub!). Surely tools today become platforms? And platforms require collaboration even if code doesn't? So why doesn't #coop follow automatically, as we talk tools? How does libre not equal coop in FLOSS world?
REMINDER Building a European Cultural Backbone #conference
Today's theme is #European Platforms. There are various live-streamed sessions throughout the day and you can ask questions via #Matrix.
It is important that #Fediverse is represented, and hence this heads-up to y'all fedizens.
Especially these panel discussions are relevent:
- (1 - 2:30pm CEST)
Panel I: European Platform
- (3 - 4:30pm CEST) Panel II: Shared Digital Public Space - An Opportunity for Europe

Next time someone tells you cryptocurrencies and blockchain are about decentralisation, laugh in their faces. Loudly. While pointing at them.

Hello there! I just joined Mastodon from Twitter(trying to be mostly anonymous) and have no fucking idea of how any of this works.
I will probably mostly post Bookchin memes and follow as many anarchist accounts as possible.
Jokes aside, I am interested in building a Social Ecologist movement in Italy, or at very least try to make Murray Bookchin's legacy thrive, despite some of his shortcomings.
I also want to help translate anarchist articles from English to Italian and vice versa.
Work in progress at #meetcoop - a handbook of protocols in provisioning a digital commons
https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/
VERY provisional and incomplete, being augmented thro #commonshour. In time though, it aims to be means for a kind of college of transformative digital infrastructuring in support of Making the Living Economy.
It's in gitBook temporarily. Looking for a good open-source toolset that supports nested levels of documentation, book-style. Not convinced by the popular tools among hackers

Note changed timeslot: one hour sooner than before. But that's UTC, so stays the same as before in places using summertime. Huh, timezones!
#meet.coop #commons.hour
For clarification - because of summertime changes in European and North American time zones.
Today’s commons.hour is
• 18:00 UTC
• 19:00 BST (London)
• 20:00 European Central
• 13:00 US Central Time
• 12:00 Alberta
Apologies for this timing, a bit late in Europe.
https://forum.meet.coop/t/sign-up-commons-hour-session-6/948
In future sessions we’ll bring the time forward to a more acceptable European slot.

Good analysis of why and how Russian actors in London politics used Brexit both as a tool to make key government officials cover up their work and as the intended goal, a deadly political attack on international alliances. https://bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/putin-plot-against-great-britain-and-how-he-got-away-with-it/
