Eastern Europe on a Zloty – Kraków to the Balkans https://hamishcampbell.com/eastern-europe-on-a-zloty-krakow-to-the-balkans/ Trust-based travel. Pre- #dotcons, before fear culture colonised everything. Before algorithmic sorting. Before #deathcult narratives turned everyone into either a threat or a customer. It was all human-scale. Messy. Improvised. #KISS by default.

Eastern Europe on a Zloty – Kraków to the Balkans
This adventure started out with a peace march. The Global Walk for a Liveable World had already crossed America once - LA to New York in ’89 - while I was drifting through Santa Cruz, not quite sure where the thing would begin or end. I drove across the States instead of walking it, then flew back across the Atlantic. Found out about the second stage in the usual sideways way, a line at the bottom of one of my mum’s Ribbon leaflets.
In March ’91 I rang the organisers in the States to […]

The History of visionOntv: What We Built, What We Lost, and Why It Matters Again
Looking back at the old TubeMogul stats - the archived page from 2011 - I had a jolt:18 million verified views, and when you added the torrent distribution, RSS syndication, video CDROM redistribution, and all the edge-case channels we seeded into, the total was closer to 34 million views. These were big numbers back then.All grassroots, all #KISS, all built on the early #openweb ethos, that number matters, not for vanity, rather, it showed proof-of-work for what a truly decentralized media […]

The internet itself isn’t the problem
Let’s be clear: the internet itself isn’t the problem. We knew how to build decentralised, humane, empowering networks long before the #dotcons turned everything into a behavioural extraction machine. The original internet - messy, permissionless, #4opens by default - can’t addict you. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t optimise. It just connects.
What addicts you are, the enclosure layers built on top of the internet. The sticky walls. The velvet handcuffs. The slick, dopamine-juiced […]

Blaming “the internet” hides the real problem. it’s not “the internet” doing this. The internet — the actual internet — is a set of mostly #4opens protocols, neutral, simple, robust, built for sharing and connecting. What’s keeping people hooked is the #dotcons: the corporate silos, the addictive platforms, the thin veneer of #techshit smeared over the top of an otherwise elegant #KISS architecture.
It’s the platforms, not the pipes.
