> 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. . .
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 !

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?

Started donating $15 month to GEO, a fantastic online publication that maybe has the best collection of articles about cool projects of all medias out there.

Focused a lot on co-ops, but also other forms of counter-economy based on mutual self-help.

Recommend you check out the site and become a donor too.

This virus that's punched a hole in all our lives this past year . . Well here's 'a scientist' knows more more about it than most:
sott.net/article/439296-Dr-Mic

And would you trust them? Nope, not as far as I could throw a bus. A career of dedicated persistent skilful wheeling dealing infiltration enclosure business.startups and gaming.systems. That's success in science. Known in the trade as 'networking'. Just another day in the life of a professional.

Every time I've tried to be "social" (on Twitter as well as Diaspora, Identi.ca, and Gnu Social...) I've never been able to keep it up, so I started on social.coop with a pessimistic £1/month contribution. But here I am on social.coop for 6 months. Hooray! I just raised my contribution. Thanks everyone for a building a create environment.

What's in a tool? What's in a space? Central questions for us who build digital-mediated spaces. A way of revisiting Ivan Illich's question abt 'tools for conviviality', thro a contemporary, intersectional, bodies-in-plural-spaces lens.

Just came across some great sites for helping people be more secure online. The target audience is women's righs and sexual rights activists, but they are broadly useful for everyone: safesisters.net/, digitalsafetea.com/ (it's a game!), en.ftx.apc.org/shelves/ftx-saf.

This looks like it'll be a good discussion.

How do we democratize technology? How can we develop better models for developing, owning, and organizing the infrastructures of our lives?

Brazil, coronavirus 

BBC reporting

>With so many dead, Cida de Moura struggles to understand how [Bolsonaro] remains in office. "He is still in power as if nothing has happened," she told us. "He should have been pushed out. I would like to hear that Bolsonaro is not president of Brazil any more."

> Like many of the bereaved she is hoping that Brazil's dead will speak, and there will be a reckoning at elections next year, if not before.

Inclusion is easier than justice.

If they're just giving it to you without even breaking a sweat, it isn't worth much. In fact, it's probably helping them immeasurably more than you.
