@koalie @w3c The bit of technology that makes the web overwhelming impactful in our lives is <a>, the link. Without hyperlinking, the web would not be the web. The link is everything.

I'm really excited to be presenting my work on using Datalog to build decentralized systems at @causalislands later this month, in Toronto!

It's a future of computing conference some of my colleagues are putting on, and the lineup is full of some fascinating talks by people like @edwinb, @maggie, and @jenn!

Testing Hubzilla again, one federating software i found, that installs on shared hosts with Cpanel, but w/o (real) root access.

The concept of a "nomadic entity" is enticing.

This is part of a grant project i 'm currently working on & to show, that we artists & musicians can do _much_ better in _not_ submitting our own audience to personalized user tracking etc.

We've to demonstrate through our own use of tech, how to do this right.

Please follow
@jrp for more.

It's incredible how much space is given to a few people in motor vehicles vs so many more people on foot or wheels. It's a vast inequity.

Nowhere is this more stark than #ShibuyaCrossing; the world's busiest pedestrian crossing with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Compared to around 12 cars fromone direction of the junction in one sequence. #Urbanism #CitiesForPeople

Last year I sat looking at my psychologist, explaining that I couldn't come out as a #trans woman, because I couldn't face the hate that would come at me from every direction. She told me, bluntly, "Get off Twitter. The real world isn't like that."

Since I came out, other than keyboard warriors, I have been embraced and cared for in ways that I literally could not imagine, I have been accepted and loved well.

This afternoon, I sat face to face with some friends and had The Conversation, again. With the same outcome.

Acceptance, & support. Care for both my wife and I, as we grapple with something that I spent the last 7 years trying to avoid, for her sake above all else.

I've always tried to be authentic, consistent, and transparent (no pun intended).

I don't know if that's the reason that the people I've had The Conversation with have treated me the way they have, if I'm just privileged to know a bunch of wonderful folks, or if it's just that most Australians aren't transphobes, but this has been a blessing beyond words.

So this is my #TransJoy, and even though I know it may not always end up like this, I just wanted to share it.

The Guide to Peer-to-Peer, Encryption, and Tor: New Communication Infrastructure for Anarchists

"An exhaustive anarchist overview and guide to various apps and tech that utilize peer-to-peer and encryption.

Shhhhh
This is a discussion about digital tools for communicating securely and privately. To begin, it must be stressed that a face-to-face meeting, out of sight of cameras and out of earshot from other people and devices, is the most secure way to communicate. Anarchists were going for walks to chat long before encrypted texting existed, and they should still do so now, whenever possible."

So AI can just use whatever text it hoovers up off the internet, but the IA can't even lend out e-books one by one?

If you need more evidence that our legal system is dominated by the interests of capital...

Mastodon is basically The Danger Room from X-Men. a bunch of unpredictable obstacles and enemies designed to keep you on your toes, but at the end of the day none of it is real and you voluntarily walked here for some reason.

@AnarchistFederation "If we frame our struggle as an attempt to change the minds of our oppressors, we will eventually become disillusioned and tired when we cannot secure our demands or when repression increases."

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.
