The LabLab Camp team is happy to invite participation to the 2026 camp building on the CoolabCamp + DWebCamp held in Ubatuba, Brazil, in 2023. It will take place from March 12 to 15, 2026 at the ecological farm in the Nova Esperança Settlement of the Landless Movement in São José dos Campos – São Paulo, Brazil.

It will be a meeting between farmers from the Paraíba Valley and a network of people who think about and practice solidarity-based techno-science with a focus on agro-ecology, community technology and open science. There will be exchange on decentralized networks, food sovereignty and experimentation in practices and technologies geared towards autonomy in agro-ecological family farming.

Each time a new privacy-invasive
feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely.

If each time a new privacy-invasive
feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued.

Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters.

It is an act of self-protection but,
perhaps even more importantly,
it is also an act of protest.

A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights.

The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse.

If we do not refuse,
if we do not fight for our privacy rights,
we will lose them all.

@greytheearthling @Forbearance Yeah, sadly most creators that I know who use the usual corpo social networks fall into category 2. Even when the platforms actively screw their "reach" they're reluctant to try some weird alternative they've never heard of.

@mauve @Forbearance I reckon there are 3 categories of YouTube uploaders with different needs:
1. If you just want to publish videos, PeerTube is great!
2. Some people believe they need YouTube for the reach, so that their videos will be discovered by their potential audience; this is something the Fediverse could fulfil in future (or perhaps already, depending on your expected scale).
3. But the hard problem is that some people depend on Google's advert money to make a living. (If Liberapay or Patreon would be enough, you're in category 2 instead and we're back in the race.)

@mauve can we seize and redistribute YouTube specifically

@Forbearance It's hard to convince creators to migrate. I think some science channels are migrating to curiositystream.com/ which I've been curious to try. Else I think we need to archive channels onto peertube instances. 😅

@taulant Yup! Sadly a common side-effect. I try to take it earlier in the day to combat this effect. 😅

Instead of profit, society should be optimized for "the love of the game"

@Forbearance It'd be nice if all the weird youtube nerds got enough UBI to just make stuff without having to seek sponsors

Food 

Made a rly big soup for dinner and got to use the new bowl my mom bought from a local indigenous artist. 🥰

I hate advertisements so much. Whenever a 10 min video is interrupted by a "sponsor segment" it just makes me hate whatever product more and often leads me to just block the channel. I pay for the premium ad free stuff and yet I still can't escape the ads

Got mauled by a vicious beast today. My cat got spooked while I was holding her up to look at my gecko
