Well, I found two(!) routers so far, which is nice, I'll have a use for those too!

Just a thought: algorithmic social media is doing the same thing to online communities that cars did to cities. It is creating little pockets of isolated individuals in a sea of people instead of creating communities. It gives people an impression of being surrounded by people without actually forming real connections

"The #UN General Assembly has voted to replace the traditional world map with one that more accurately reflects the size of #Africa.

"The 'Correct the Map' resolution, sponsored by Togo and backed by African Union (AU) members, passed with the support of 164 nations..."

"The #USA was the only nation to vote against it..." (sigh*)

"The UN vote is non-binding but will see changes to the maps used by institutions around the world."

Como bien sabéis, cuando hablamos de soberanía tecnológica pensamos en todos aquellos pequeñas infraestructuras que pueden permitir la comunicación de colectivos fuera del marco capitalista.

Uno de los más míticos es el colectivo Autistic, un colectivo italiano que daba soporte en forma de blogs, correo etc, a todo tipo de asociaciones y colectivos sociales.

Esta semana, el gobierno de EEUU ha considerado que no puede existir vida fuera de sus Big Tech, y les ha acusado falsamente de terroristas.

La primera consecuencia es que sus cuentas han sido bloqueadas, y sus servicios cerrados.

Si os queréis informar del tema, podéis seguir la cuenta de @cavallette

Y una de las maneras de ayudar es escribir a Fiare, la banca ética donde estaban sus cuentas, para mostrar vuestra disconformidad.

The one thing I totally, unreservedly like about Bluesky over Mastodon is that on Bluesky it's possible to put your account in a state where your screen name shows as ⚠Invalid Handle and also your address shows as ⚠Invalid Handle and it's impossible for anyone to @ you or even figure out who you are without specialized tools. This has been an issue with the Bluesky frontend and all its forks since day one, and they've never taken the least steps to fix it. I just think that's delightful

The EFF is way less on your side than you think. It's mostly a libertarian/tech corporation lobbying group.

VI PRESENTO L'ARCHIVIO ECN

L'Italian Crackdown fu un'operazione condotta dalla polizia italiana nel 1994. Portò al sequestro di centinaia di BBS, accusate di violare i diritti d'autore e di diffondere software pirata.

Le indagini, che ebbero eco a livello globale, furono caratterizzate da abusi e si conclusero con un nulla di fatto: nessuna delle BBS sequestrate aveva commesso il reato che veniva contestato. I giornali italiani in quei giorni furono presi, come non di rado accade anche oggi, da isteria e criminalizzarono ogni attività di hacking.

Mi è tornato in mente quest'episodio viste le recenti sanzioni che hanno colpito Autistici/Inventati che, a differenza di allora, sono tutte politiche. 1/2

In #Tigray tornano gli scontri e i civili restano senza giustizia https://www.africarivista.it/in-tigray-tornano-gli-scontri-e-i-civili-restano-senza-giustizia/321426/

il fatto che gli stati uniti abbiano votato contro solo per sembrare più grossi farebbe tenerezza se non fossero così pericolosi

Staffers at the #Wikimedia Foundation "voted 158-14 to join the Communications Workers of America labor union. The US National Labor Relations Board..."

Wikimedia employees say "they will now have a mechanism to challenge management as the organization faces growing competition from AI chatbots and a drop in volunteer editors."

"Concerns about pay and benefits were not major motivators for the #union drive..."
