I googled "eco-atheism" and dedicated a post to what I found: https://awful.systems/post/5314810

I like that his first argument out of the gate is "You call us a secular religion? Well maybe we are, what happened to religious tolerance?" Just perfect how you tee yourself up to fall in line with the religious conservatives when needed.

We really need bring some sceptical epistemic attitudes back. Maybe some kind of eco-atheism, keeping yourself grounded on actual real shit. (for some definition of real)

This was one obscure shitpost to decode.

The Brian Merchant article shared recently made a good point. It's most likely a symbiosis of an organic AI panic from incredibly out-of-touch people and savvy capitalists that learned to use it for marketing.

Gutes Material eigentlich, aber "Klirrer" bringt die Message 0% rüber bei mir.

Als einzig würdige Übersetzung des C-Worts würde ich hier akzeptieren, was die deutsche Syncro von Stern Kriege die Klon Kriege gewählt hat. Und das war garantiert nicht "Klirrer".

Obwohl ich kurz verwirrt war, warum diese Zeitung eine Fleischtheke hat...

Musste es 2mal lesen, um zu checken dass das nicht über Bayern ist.

Wär für die Urlaubsplanung gerade echt prakrisch.

UPDATE:

Der gesuchte Pfostierer war @larstransportworld@mastodon.social . @f04rb@feddit.org hat das Rätsel gelöst und mein Busserl errungen. Danke an alle Lemminge, die ihre besten Bahnnetzkarten kommentiert haben.

Falls es interessiert: ich hab nach einer entspannten Route mit coolen Zwischenstopps von der belgischen Küste nach München gesucht. Es sieht nach Strassbourg & Zürich aus.

Pfosten die man machen tut, wenn man versucht die materialistische Psychoanalyse von Deleuze und Guattari zu verstehen und im ersten Kapitel von Anti-Ödipus steckt.

 

I haven't watched it. I don't know how well she will cover the subject or how deep the rabbit hole she will venture.

All I know is she's delightful and I sure as hell won't read that bilge myself, so I'm looking forward to an entertaining summary.

Edit: I watched it. I had a good time.

So I recently got an excuse rant about my opinions on federated tech. I think it's pretty much the best we can hope for in terms of liberating tech, with very few niches where fully distributed tech is preferable.

Needing a server places users under the power of the server administrator. Why do we bother? "No gods, no masters, no admins!' I hear you shout. Well, there's a couple reasons...

Maybe using software is just an intrinsically centralized activity. One or a few people design and code it, and an unlimited number of people can digitally replicate and use it. Sure, it may be free software that everyone can inspect and modify... but how many people will really bother? (Nevermind that most people don't even have the skills necessary.)

Okay, so we always kind of rely on a central-ish dev team when we use tech. Why rely on admins on top of that? I believe the vast vast majority of people doesn't have the skills and time to operate a truly independent node of a fully distributed tech. Let's take Jami as an example:

"With the default name server (ns.jami.net), the usernames are registered on an Ethereum blockchain."

So a feature of Jami is (for most users) implemented as a centralized service. Yikes. You could build and run your own name server (with less embarrassing tech choices hopefully), but who will really bother?

But say you bothered, wouldn't it be nice if your friends could use that name server too, and gain a little independence? That sounds a lot like decentralized/federated tech.

Keeping a decent service online is a pain in the butt. Installing SW updates, managing backups, paying for hardware and name services... nevermind just the general bothering to understand all that mess. And moderation, don't forget moderation. I'm saying it's not for everyone (and we should appreciate the fuck out of [local admin]).

I believe that servers and admins are our best bet for actual non-centralized tech. A tech-literate person tending a service for a small- to medium-size community is much more feasible than every person running their independent node (which will probably still depend on something centralized).

And maybe that's just the way we bring good ol' division of labour to the Internet. You have your shoemaker, your baker, your social media admin. A respectable and useful position in society. And they lived happily ever after.

 

Apparently a senior SW engineer got fired for questioning readiness of the product, dude must still be chuckling to himself.
