Happy holidays, fediverse!
I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us.

É un affresco potente e lucido dei presenti che stiamo attraversando. Ammiro tantissimo chi, scrivendo, riesce a mantenere complessità, idee, opinioni e contraddizioni tutte insieme, senza ostinarsi a cercare soluzioni a tutti i costi, o come dice donna haraway, é capace di "restare a contatto col problema" ❤️

Join the workshop at #39C3!
NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.
Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?
This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.
These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.
Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

Finally got around to reading @pluralistic Enshittification - a shame it took me this long.
Important book. A must read for everyone.

Implementing Encrypted Messaging over ActivityPub
One of the project areas of the Social Web Foundation for the last year has been end-to-end encrypted messaging. ActivityPub, the standard protocol that powers the Social Web, has privacy controls, but they do not protect the content of messages from server operators. Encrypted messaging has become a common feature on many social networks since ActivityPub was created, and its lack has inhibited Social Web adoption and public trust in the network.
ActivityPub is extensible, though. As part […]
@snow @xabacadabra @tassoman @kenobit altro possibile fronte di azione comune: azioni legali per chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione che espongono le icone dei social commerciali di dotarsi anche di un account nel fediverso, con esposto all’antitrust e alle associazioni dei consumatori se qualche ente pubblico favorisce piattaforme commerciali discriminando gli utenti di quelle libere.
@gubi@sociale.network @kenobit@livellosegreto.it @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione (o a qualunque sito/progetto finanziato con fondi pubblici) di quantomeno inserire link a social aperti è anche una delle proposte spinte dalla nascente Social Web Advocacy Group...
Ho scoperto da poco questo evento che sembra andare in quella direzione fedivariety.org/unconference
@gubi @snow @xabacadabra @tassoman
Per organizzare una festa del fediverso, contate assolutamente su di me. Mi sembra un'idea bellissima e potremmo farla in più parti d'Italia.
@kenobit@livellosegreto.it @gubi@sociale.network @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social concordo tantissimo sulla festa itinerante!

wow c'è un nuovo centro culturale a gaeta, la #casamatta!
If you're looking for a quick present for someone, ebooks are always great, and I've got a great one for the poli-sci, cyberpunk, big data nerd, and/or sci fi political thriller fan in your life. www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/...
Always cool to read Donna Haraway and realize how much influenced bonfire and how much it is connected to it:
"Thinking-with / Becoming-wth : A practice of engagement where one takes up ideas or relationships (like a cat's cradle) and carries them forward, creating new patterns, emphasizing trust, relay, and shared making rather than individual ownership."
Moved to @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net and feels very good so far 🙃
