Decentralization is more than code. It’s governance, resilience, and community.

Been thinking about digital access recently. A lot of the organizations that recondition and distribute computer in the community have tied themselves to corporate sponsors and forsaken open source.

I saw this with Austin Free-Net in #Austin and Free Geek here in #Portland

Now, with the forced migration to Windows 11, all that highly usable equipment becomes e-waste.

The failure to adopt user-friendly open source (such as Linux Mint) is jeopardizing #digitalDivide efforts.

We shouldn't need platforms owned by the biggest losers on the planet to live happy, healthy, connected lives. Our fledgling network of technologists and organisers aims to make tech billionaires obsolete by co-creating our own means of production.

@gfsc So excited to read all of this! Your analysis of where #CommunityTech is currently at and how to help it grow hits on all the challenges and opportunities that has been pinging around in my brain.

I'd love to collaborate. I'll follow up directly. ✨ 🌐

Just read this movie review of Neptune Frost through the lens of #CommunityTech

It's codirected by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman and it looks like a really interesting afrofuturist film.

Definitely going on my "to watch" list as the nights are now longer than the days.
