@amsomniac
'The analytics mindset' of silicon valley oligarchs, alt-right and security services surely is a problem. But complex systems with emergent form are real, and seems to me it will be good if 'we' can be tooled up to observe the emergent pattern of our own activity in the large. Their activity too! Just like statistics have been double edged for several generations (lies, damn lies etc) analytics are double edged.

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?

After weathering a rough Nextcloud upgrade, I continue to doubt the various projects aimed at allowing "regular" users to install and manage their own web apps. When it works, it's great. When something goes wrong, well... Good luck!

Anyone here (wherever here is!) involved with the Kola Nut Collaborative? Their Offers and Needs Market looks interesting.

@Rheall look into yunohost.org it's basically a turnkey Debian server that then allows one click install of many different apps, mastodon is one of them. I recommend it to everyone, it's amazing!

I'm on my masto instance of one right now;)

What's your preferred FLOSS freestanding platform tool for conducting polls? Eg meeting dates, rankings, votes.

Better/richer than Framadate, or the options in Discourse? As good as in Loomio?

I see you’ve installed the new fedwiki version, with backlinks. That’s great 😊 thanks Jon. I love backlinks, a great addition.
Welcome_visitors in mh.federated.wiki was unable, on first loading, to see rosters that live in mhresources.federated.wiki, even though that site was in the neighborhood. On reloading, the rosters became visible. Is there a problem there? Cheers

In wanting to distance myself from the "not-enough" that is abolitionism while also thinking about what is meant by some principled people when they say "abolition", I wonder if the move isn't to push for the impossibles that we are *for* like liberation, self-determination, autonomy, deep justice and of course to make it manifest in deed rather than just word.

Delete Spotify yet?

The streaming music platform, Spotify, has won a patent which will allow it to listen to users’ speech recognition and sound analysis.

The reason it wants to do this? – In order to gauge emotional states and location types to serve up an appropriate soundtrack - nothing to worry about there then.

The app will now be able to decipher the user’s age, gender and other demographics – all seemingly in the name of a perfect song list.

Having discovered NextCloud @ MayFirst - are you using it much? What for?

I just activated my MayFirst NextCloud but haven't figured what to use it for yet. I already have a NextCloud at OwnCube (100GB, 2€ monthly). This past week I started using the meet.coop NextCloud, getting the Community team off the ground . . so more inclined now to use NC, learning doc mgmt quirks.

Previously I used HackMD for ad hoc publishing. I guess now I may use md docs in NextCloud (fewer features).

Reading this review of Malm’s Fossil Capital theecologist.org/2016/apr/27/f. It recalls one of the most related clips from Marx’s Capital
“It would be possible to write a whole history of inventions since 1830 made for the sole purpose of providing capital with weapons against working class revolt”
I have a chapter built on that “Whole history” theme, here cloud.owncube.com/s/TzTHiYGNsP
