Hear me out:

What if there were a master source repository of ALL open source packages?

And an audit pipeline, through which every application release must pass.

“Under a million eyes, all bugs are shallow.” - ESR.

ALL free software developers would participate in auditing that repository.

Any distribution that wants to include the known good package, would pull the source code from that repository, and generate whatever format they want to distribute the application in. Eg: .deb , .rpm , .pkg etc.

This approach would result in solid, trusted packages, for ALL distributions, instead of a hit & miss approach. It would also reduce duplication of effort.

The open question is about licensing, whether GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, or anything else.

Please share your thoughts.

How People Ditched the Search for Exploitative Jobs & Empowered Themselves:
( Future History from a Liberated Utopia )

Too many people were unemployed, anxious in their long job searches, ghosted by employers, sitting around spinning their wheels ( hopefully learning new skills to stay up to date ).

Exploitative corporations and their hierarchical mindset never suited the contemporary generations anyway. So people chose to connect with their peers, and formed egalitarian, democratic, radically transparent, employee-owned co-operatives. Equal share, equal pay, equal say, and the pride of ownership, rather than the drudgery of wage-slavery!

People pooled their time, energy, skills, money, and any other resources they could, to become owners of their own businesses, running them with pride.

In all walks of business – pizzerias, ride-sharing services, delivery services, home repair services, remote-first software companies, and pet-sitting services, people finally decided to keep their earnings rather than hand over the lion's share to some corporation.

People enjoyed all the personal freedom, creative leeway, collegial work environment and informal, no-nonsense directness that came with the pride of ownership. In many cases, family units started their own co-operatives with all adult members owning equal shares.

#SoftBank should use Off-shore 🌊 Solar 🌞 Energy!

Deploy barges with solar panels in the Ocean, in international waters.

These solar farms can be moved according to weather conditions.

They charge batteries which are brought ashore periodically.

A minimal crew is needed for maintenance of these solar farms, and to haul batteries back and forth.

This is a very efficient source of clean energy.

THE GREAT UNRAVELING OF TED TALKS

Are TED Talks less impactful now? Many think so because there are more TEDx events and speakers aren't paid, leading to lower quality ideas.

#TEDTalks, #TEDx, #IdeasWorthSpreading, #SpeakerQuality, #ContentOverQuality

https://newsletter.tf/ted-talks-less-impactful-ideas-more-talks/

TED uploads about 277 talks per year. Some people feel the quality of ideas has gone down compared to older TED Talks.

If someone ever starts a #StarTrek themed #gym, it should be off-grid. It should have #treadmills , weight-lifting & stretching machines connected to dynamos, that harvest human #energy. The gym should be net energy positive, not a sink on the grid.

The slogan — "It's gym-life, but not as we know it!"

Drug tests for most jobs are unnecessary and there's no scientific consensus saying drug testing affects the company's bottom-line.

Drug tests are a means of social control and of marginalizing classes of people.

Drug tests are corporate power exercises. One ape controls the toilet function of another ape; an invasive dominance ritual at a deeply primal level.

Eliminate drug tests for most jobs.

I am starting a car company called Einstein. What does Einstein have to do with cars? Not much, except the name makes the brand sound smarter. I am more closely related to Albert Einstein, than Elon Musk is, to Nikola Tesla.We're closer in timespace, for one.

As for licensing the name, I will just look up all the Einsteins alive, and invite them to submit bids to sell their name to the car company.

You've all seen it: On this day in 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope took the first ever photo of a Black Hole. Or rather, of the accretion disk surrounding it.

A few years earlier, Katie Bouman, one of the scientists behind this success, described how it's done:

"How to take a picture of a black hole", https://www.ted.com/talks/katie_bouman_how_to_take_a_picture_of_a_black_hole

Buddha's Palm, New Year's Drone Show, China

China invented fireworks, and has now switched to Drones to do light shows for the annual celebration. Drones are a much more Earth-friendly choice than chemical fireworks.

Also, if those Drones were carrying tiny mirrors, they could fly into a target airspace, form a large composite parabolic mirror, and use sunlight to vaporize cities from above. Again, a much more elegant and Earth-friendly way to engineer weapons of mass destruction, than nuclear/chemical/other weapons, which are crude, over-engineered, expensive and messy.

Celebrating 15 years of #TEDx

The first #TEDxStuttgart took place in 2012, and we're going to hold our 15th (main) event next year. Thank you, #Stuttgart. Here's to another 15 🥂

@tedtalks #IdeasWorthSpreading #IdeasChangeEverything

What if organizations became radically transparent and accountable in solidarity?

Whether it's a company, congregation, congress, club, or clowder, it allows full read access to all its company activity, to the public.

Anyone on the Internet can read any document or email or chat within your organization!

Public Read Access In Solidarity for Ethics!

For one company, it sounds like suicide to not have any secret actions. If enough organizations do this, transparency becomes radically powerful.

With transparency comes accountability.

With accountability comes responsibility.

With great responsibility comes great power.

Conventional capitalists compete in a dog eat dog world, duplicating effort, reinventing the same mouse trap with a few trivial features to stand out from the rest.

Transparent companies are cooperatives, that quickly evolve the best of breed solutions amongst different offerings in the same space, by consolidating, coordinating, and communicating. This doesn't limit the lone inventor in any way, from going out on a limb.

Intellectual Property is an oxymoron. The Commons grows and is the default.

Customers gravitate towards ethical and transparent companies.

Workplace issues, such as harassment, are greatly reduced. Workers no longer have to guess who can read anything they write on a company network. It's a given that anyone can.

People can hold private meetings by videoconference or in person. That's not public.

When you need to put things in writing or diagrams, when you need to place an order, when you take legal action, et cetera, that is all public.

Payment is equal for all workers, and not a thing to waste time and energy on, fussing or gossiping about.

The president doesn't live in a Big White House and star in a reality show called the government.

There are no Department of Defense Dark Budgets, because the government is radically accountable to the people.

There are no "authority figures", pandering politicians, pedophile popes, pompous panelists, browbeating us and telling us that we are too dumb to understand the issues they are working on, and should leave these foxes in charge of the coop.

"It's my money, and I want it NOW!"

For millennials lost after the mess of 9/11, the wars, economic upheaval, digital division, and social atomization, #TED was an appealing #mainstreaming alternate vision—of a society where ideas had currency, and a wider group of people could identify with the intellectual vanguard. This vision was delusion, but it easily overtook the norms of drift and disconnection in our failed alternative culture.

To have been young and thoughtful in the late 2000s was to be a citizen of TED nation – a community of dreamers more than doers, united by a common creed: that ideas matter, that inspiration is power, that the future belongs to those who can capture imaginations. This naivety was an easy path to take for the children of the #deathcult. TED’s prominence shaped the aspirations of a generation, it shaped how we thought about ourselves. This #stupidindividualism pushed the blinding possibility: you, too, could have an idea worth spreading. You, too, could be special.

TED defined the poverty of the blinded intellectual spirit of an era, a profoundly millennial idea: that we are each of us main characters and have an individual calling and a mission to “change the world” in some vaguely indefinable generally pointless way. And while the reality fell well short of the rhetoric, the animating spirit was strong and likely sincere for most people.

The priests of the #deathcult pushed #TED as class war, it was not a youthful indiscretion of a generation—a rite of passage on the road to hard-earned intellectual growth. Rather, it was a smoke and mirror mess pushed by a “progressive” #fahernistas class. In the post TED world we are back to where we were 20 years ago, the messy reality of class war, unfriendly and unwelcoming.

PS. it’s interesting to remember that #TED tried to be #openweb native at the start, they only turned to #dotcons when that path was abandoned by our #fashionistas and lead to the mess we are in today, what a mess.

Music is effectively "free" (or low cost) for the listener. But it's not free to produce, so how can artists, especially independent ones, live off of the crumbs they are getting from the streaming services? And what are the alternatives?

Elon Musk was having caviar atop a warehouse full of delicious food. It was all the food left in the world. It was guarded by a small army of lawyers and bourgeois middle managers ordering armed security guards that Musk had bribed with some crumbs. The masses of people starved outside, trying to break through the armed barrier to keep their children from dying in their arms.

What if there were a new form of cryptocurrency, designed from the ground up to:

1. Be environmentally friendly.

Imagine "Army-Lite", a branch of the Army where conscientious objectors can sign on to serve. Army-Lite trains and educates its recruits, gives them service benefits such as the Digital GI Bill, but doesn't send them to combat. Instead, these young people are deployed into civilian locations to help rebuild and serve communities. As a conscientious objector, I think Army-Lite should be made an option for those who want to serve their country, but do no harm. ☮️
