There’s a language field in the database to map the language too. The fact that there are only english-speaking communities is a temporary focus, because they allow to reach a broader target, but submissions in other languages are more than welcome. I’m actually not based in an English-speaking country and I’m not a native speaker, so for my own stuff I will eventually start contributing by mapping other spaces.
Me, 404media or Zuckerberg?
I made it! It wasn’t that hard, the API was quite straightforward.
fixed, sorry
Vintage Story in solo, but I gave up because it’s too cumbersome to play without a team. Necesse with a team, lol. Mechabellum in solo multi AoW4 as a filler
Do you ever make things harder for people around you intentionally? If so, why? If not, why do you think do that against you?
not a single word about crypto is present in the video
are you familiar with left-wing blockchain and that whole strand of research or you just talk because you have no clue about the fact that there’s always been plenty of anti-capitalist and post-capitalist in the blockchain scene?
Have you watched the video or just stopped at the title?
There’s a lot of lefitsts spaces in the blockchain. While they are minoritarian, they have a distinct political agenda and set of values, separate from most of the web3 world. They either envision the usage of blockchain for local economies (an evolution of circular economy and local currencies that were popular in the 90’s and 2000s), or more global scale realignment of incentives, either through socialist market economies or more planning-oriented solutions.
because it’s in Latin (or Italian)…
I know people that occupied the offices. They were perfectly aware they would be fired and the people selected for the action were the least vulnerable economically, because retaliation was certain. Anything else is journalistic spin.
solarpunk is inherently utopian. Utopias exist to inspire and to reflect on the present. It tells us that there can be a social system in which technology is good, but then if to be optimistic or not is very subjective. Many pessimistic people like utopias exactly because they highlight the ugliness of reality.
The core difference between longtermism and solarpunk is that longtermism stems from an utilitarian frame, while solarpunk rejects it. Radical utilitarianism like longtermist fashos and oligarchs gives them a way out to commit the worst crimes against humanity because of a supposed good that will materialize in a distant future. It’s a moral free pass, exploiting the life of future humans (who cannot protest) to justify the oppression and exploitation of current humans (who are indeed protesting these assholes).
Solarpunk and longtermism are in no way on the same spectrum.
Techno-optimism has always been used to criticize this attitude, together with techno-chauvinism. Techno-utopianism is a less loaded term that might encompass more positive visions of technology, like the attitude towards space exploration in the 60’s coming from the soviet union.
“Optimism” in general is not necessarily the term we want to reclaim from the right: it’s wishy-washy, boring, mediocre. “I’m not going to do much, I’ll be on autopilot, because tech is good and it will sort stuff out. I don’t care too much about taking a position, beyond passively trusting tech”. Optimism is the happy trust of a dog on a leash going for a walk.
you use “luddite” as if it’s an insult. History proved luddites were right in their demands and they were fighting the good fight.
we do, and anybody telling you “it’s complicated” has an agenda.
Please yankee, don’t make everything happening in the world about you
Gnosticism is by definition the epitome of duality. That said, conflict with a reactionary entity doesn’t imply you’re not reactionary. Russia and Ukraine are at war with each other and they are both very reactionary, becoming even worse due to the needs produced by such conflict.
Also, hackers tend to hold libertarian (in the European sense) values and that’s how they pick their targets for direct action. When I say they are reactionary, they are reactionary in effect, not in intent. That makes them even more problematic, because it’s not immediately obvious what’s the problem.
I track everything private and professional on Notion.
I have dedicated databases for
