A brief personal reflection on #2MR:

1
The many lovely people from different backgrounds, yet with quite similar values, created a fantastic active atmosphere. I hope that, as a community, we can pass this spirit on to colleagues in the communications departments of #universities, #associations, #government agencies, #MPs’ offices, #companies and so on!

Es ist vollbracht. #cachyOS läuft. Nach #Meta und #Apple und #Google konnte ich nun endlich auch #Microsoft den Laufpass geben. Damit bin ich technologisch fast vollständig frei von der amerikanischen #broligarchy. Und alles nur wegen eines unterhaltsamen Vortrags auf dem #39c3 von @marcuwekling der verteilte Bedenken zu einem klaren Handlungsvorschlag zusammengefasst hat. Da muss man sich an der Stelle wohl mal bedanken! 🙏

PS: Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 sieht jetzt sogar besser aus als unter Windoof.

PPS: Ich bin echt kein Informatiker. Wenn ich das kann (und du auf Mastodon bist), kannst du das auch, Diggi!

Passend zum heutigen #DigitalIndependenceDay:

Dieser etwas längere, aber dafür inhaltlich umso reichhaltigere Artikel aus #Noema zieht Parallelen von Plantagen, #Massentierhaltung und der autogerechten top-down #Stadtplanung zur monopolistischen Struktur des Internets und schlägt analog zum #Rewilding von Naturgebieten ein Rewilding des Internets vor.

"The story of German scientific forestry transmits a timeless truth: When we simplify complex systems, we destroy them, and the devastating consequences sometimes aren’t obvious until it’s too late. …

Internet infrastructure is a degraded ecosystem, but it’s also a built environment, like a city. Its unpredictability makes it generative, worthwhile and deeply human. In 1961, #JaneJacobs, an American-Canadian activist and author of “The Death and Life of Great American Cities,” argued that mixed-use neighborhoods were safer, happier, more prosperous, and more livable than the sterile, highly controlling designs of urban planners like New York’s #RobertMoses."

"Technologists are great at incremental fixes, but to regenerate entire habitats, we need to learn from ecologists who take a whole-systems view. Ecologists also know how to keep going when others first ignore you and then say it’s too late, how to mobilize and work collectively, and how to build pockets of diversity and resilience that will outlast them, creating possibilities for an abundant future they can imagine but never control. We don’t need to repair the internet’s infrastructure. We need to rewild it."

Simon McGarr completely captures the Irish government’s obtuse determination to do nothing in the face of the illegal and immoral behavior of many American tech enterprises

While many Silicon Valley leaders are overtly supporting a democracy subverting American regime, the Irish ruling class class clings to a see no evil obtuseness as the techno spigot pours money in

An all too predictable step in the progression to a #fascist America.

No doubt the #broligarchy will be facilitating #Caligula and his new Praetorian Guard

The #SiliconValley tech stack grows ever more toxic.

It’s now a race between #oligarchs and the 99% as to whether we will continue to have a #Democracy. The #oligarchy is driving hard to cash in on it’s paid for political class to disenfranchise #voters in this year’s #midterms

"This [NSS document] is the 'Great Replacement' theory, applied globally. It is the same might-makes-right worldview of the worst neocons, but in service of the abhorrent principle of segregation instead of democracy, and suggesting a future of American imperialism unmoored from any pretense of a belief in the equality of mankind."

For anyone who wants to understand US politics better: do take a listen. It’s dire, and probably worse than you think #TheNerdReich #Broligarchy https://overcast.fm/+AA3ppj0Ta1k

#HowardLutnick ran #CantorFitzgerald

Lutnick resigned as CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, an investing behemoth, upon taking office & began the arduous task of divesting his interests, as required by #law.

His two 20-something sons were given the reins of his financial empire. Brandon Lutnick was named chair of Cantor, while Kyle Lutnick was tapped to be executive vice chair. But his most recent #ethics filing from June 19 stated that he was still selling his holdings in the firm.

@zannesan @wjmaggos yarvin sucks but tbh he's a lot less important to the tech #fascist movement than journalists in search of a coherent narrative want to believe.

i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.

The point is that the person I'm replying to is bringing to the "fediverse" the very worst of Twitter.

Her entire usage of the Fediverse seems to amount to emphatically writing, in the #most #vapid #sort #of #language, about how she's... using the Fediverse to write about how she's using the Fediverse to share about how she's using the Fediverse to...

...ah, right: to escape from (and I quote) "the #broligarchy" and "right-wing #haters".

One would not suspect an ulterior motive, were it not for the fact that, according to her WIkipedia page, she "is the founder and editor-in-chief of a now-defunct website that aims to provide 'positive role models' for young girls" and founded "a platform empowering companies and organizations with innovative tools to measure the gender gap", as well as having self-produced a "documentary about the marketing of unattainable beauty ideals around the world" so maybe it's a bit of a serial thing?

I didn't want the Internet and I certainly don't want the Fediverse to be captured by this kind of individual.

In other words, I think the individual in question is a very refined sort of (political) spammer and profiteer.

I would ordinarily just ignore the post, but renotes occasionally catch me off-guard.

I do apologise for that, a grownup ought to be able to ignore.

"Bender and Hanna show you how to spot AI hype, how to deconstruct it, and how to expose the power grabs it aims to hide. Armed with these tools, you will be prepared to push back against AI hype at work, as a consumer in the marketplace, as a skeptical newsreader, and as a citizen holding policymakers to account."

Fascinating look at some connections from America's "Crypto & AI Czar" (and Twitter's #1 Vladimir Putin fan) David Sacks to the massive #Wirecard fraud via disgraced Yammer executive Keith McCarty.

(ICYMI Wirecard was a nation state sized Russian money laundering operation disguised as one of the biggest companies in #Germany).
