These paragraphs in @npub1fdr…lvhs 's latest blog post are about as simple and digestible an explanation of the difference between what you might call "techno-libertarianism" versus "techno-socialism" as one could ask for. Plus @npub1rvu…dm8t mentioned as well.
*"What is the role of technology in this foundational struggle?
My technopolitics faction – the faction associated with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, where I've worked for a quarter-century – has an answer: the role of encryption is to provide a measure of privacy and security that is best used to organize political struggles to demand the rule of law and respect for human rights. Encryption isn't proof against rubber hoses, but it is effective against many other forms of state repression, and it can provide a technical edge for those engaged in a political struggle."*

Already side-loaded a bunch of DRM-free books from @npub1fdr…lvhs and some free theory texts I had kicking around, along with *"Hacking the Xbox"* from Andrew 'bunnie' Huang, and Cixin Liu's *"The Three-Body Problem"*.
I also bought qntm's *"There Is No Antimemetics Division."*

I don't want to be *that* kind of Marxist, but "systems thinking" really seems to rhyme with dialectical and historical materialism, or at least seems an excellent supplement to those methods.
Good shout out, I'll definitely be exploring Meadow's work.

You might disagree or hate me for saying this, but as shitty as the payment method thing is, they tell you right up front that if the Swiss government gives them a legal warrant they have to comply with it. This is not unusual and if you want full anonymity you'll need to arrange an anonymous payment method. Fuck the FBI and fuck Cop City, but please people, if you are going to do the work and take these thugs to task for their bullshit, know the terrain and do your threat modeling.

Is that an RSS reader or a browser with @npub1fdr…lvhs 's blog open? I only ask because it looks awesome.

🤣 No way that shit will ever be on my computer. If they press the issue I will find another distro.
Distro hopping as a survival strategy.

Personally, if we're talking purely about LLM's, there are likely no real gains to be had in *actual* productivity and there isn't enough venture capital *in existence* to continue more than a few quarters at present burn rate.
LLM's have no path to profitability, and the US economy is already in recession outside of spending on data center construction.
This is going to end badly.

Canada looking to join BRICS? That would be a pretty provocative move.

@npub19he…ynqw is asking for another 50 tickets to be sold within a few days, else they might have to abandon one of the large rooms they have set aside for the event.
If you have any inkling at all and the ability to go, grab your tix now. #hope_16

Super noob question:
Recently bought myself a domain/hosting and used Zola to build it.
I have essentially zero experience with web development and I followed a few tutorial videos to get it working.
If you are familiar with Zola how does Kiki compare?

Great info, thank you. 💜

I propose that I cease working for capitalist megacorp and spend my time tinkering with electronics, computers and associated ephemera.
And also that everyone is able to do this or any other thing that interests them without fear of being evicted or starving.
I don't think this is unreasonable.

What's your opinion of LibreWolf? That's my interim browser and I have Vivaldi as a backup presently.

New instance, time for a new #Introduction . To wit:
Hello everyone here at CortexImplant, Busta here. I'm a 50-ish machinist from New England. I enjoy Cyberpunk fiction, RPGs and videogames, and pretty much everything about the genre. I also am a Linux user and enthusiast, and I'll throw out the occasional half-assed book review as well.
I'm basically a communist so if you find that offensive please use the handy block feature of your preferred Mastodon client.
Peace and thanks for reading. :blinkingcursor: :hacktheplanet_1: :hacktheplanet_2: :hacktheplanet_3: :hacktheplanet_4:
