Sophists – From Ancient Greece to the current #mainstreaming
“Being in #Oxford today, I popped into the #OxfordUnion to use a room. Glancing through the term card, it’s absolutely vile - and has been consistently so for the two years I’ve been back in the city. It’s a useful, if deeply dispiriting, exercise in reading the people and place. This is where parts of the next ruling class form their opinions and sharpen their instincts. Judging by what they’re platforming, we are not heading for a good time...” One useful term about this mess […]https://hamishcampbell.com/sophists-from-ancient-greece-to-neoliberal-mainstreaming/

Google is training millions of people to scan random QR codes on websites to "prove they're human." 🚨
You know who loves that behavior? Phishers. Every scammer on the planet just got a gift from Google's new reCAPTCHA.
We break it all down in Ep 26.

The exhaustion of thinking out loud, why engagement matters
The pattern we need to compost - You write something rooted in years of experience and practical work, you try to make it accessible. Someone responds immediately with an objection that shows they haven’t read let alone followed the argument yet. Or they react to the tone, the hashtag, or one phrase instead of engaging with the substance. Sometimes the response is sincere but rushed, sometimes it’s performative, often it’s shaped by the habits we’ve absorbed from #dotcons culture, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-exhaustion-of-thinking-out-loud-and-why-engagement-matters/

Old CAPTCHAs asked: "Can you think?" New reCAPTCHA asks: "Are you compliant?"
Google shifted the question from proving you're human to proving you're their customer. That's not security. That's a loyalty test.
Ep 26 breaks it down 👇

Can you prove you're human without proving you're a Google customer? 🤔
Google's latest reCAPTCHA update says "No." It now requires Google Play Services, effectively banning privacy-focused users from the internet.
In Episode 26, we break down the "Tollbooth" and show you how to reclaim your access.

Google’s new QR-based reCAPTCHA ties web verification to Play Integrity and Apple attestation systems instead of traditional CAPTCHA check 🌐

Turning stress, conflict, and exhaustion into commons culture instead of mutual destruction https://hamishcampbell.com/turning-stress-conflict-and-exhaustion-into-commons-culture-instead-of-mutual-destruction/ Hard fight ahead, but people before us already showed that these waterways and our #openweb culture are worth defending.

Turning stress, conflict, and exhaustion into commons culture instead of mutual destruction
"To put some "commons" structure into this kindness… A path before we knee-jerk criticise members of the community we should make real offers to help repeatedly (x3) in a positive community way. Only then let the "negative" monster of judgment lose to clean up the mess. Focus on clean up first, the "common senses" desire to attack second. What do you think about growing our positive norms (common sense)." This is the hard bit of any grassroots movement of turning stress, conflict, and […] -
TIL about https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/feed-finder which is super useful to find RSS feeds on websites which don't properly announce them.

A PeerTube instance rejected my account application recently.
Reason: they're "highly opposed to AI, including education on how to use AI-assisted tooling and selfhosting."
Last line: "you might want to try a different instance."
I'm now on spectra.video, where the same content posts without friction.
That rejection isn't a failure but evidence that the structure is working. An instance that knows what it's for, knows its position is unusual, and communicates both clearly — that's governance doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
Part 3 of `Exploring Mastodon` covers what governance actually means at the instance level: defederation, Fedipact, the Truth Social cautionary tale, and why a server's code of conduct is a self-portrait, not a rulebook.

People ask why the articles are hard to follow without background, it’s a fair point
People ask why the articles are hard to follow without background, it's a fair point, but a distraction as these are not stand-alone hot takes, they are all a part of a long flowing story about how we got into this mess and how we might get out of it. So, focus, please share this and the other posts if we’re going to recover focus and direction on the #openweb path. What happened over the last ten years on the Fediverse wasn’t random. It was a slow drift away from the native path that […] -
#bankruptgoogle otherwise no one will be able to use anything at all. With idiots adapting this nonsense and closing out #openweb it will soon be useless. With #recaptcha nonsense the #googlecrap is expanding. Do not let it become a zombie web designed by the likes of #umbrella corporation of #residentevil.

A fluff view of current tech we need to compost
You know, when people are heading over a cliff, I'm more than happy to be "left behind". This story is #openwashing, not innovation. “New European social network” is actually a fork of #Bluesky wrapped in sovereignty language, as Elena Rossini says with the same #dotcons logic - PR-first launch (Davos), reality comes later (or never). This tech mess illustrates, if people start with branding, funding, and media narrative instead of community and process, it’s not #openweb - it’s […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-fluff-view-of-current-tech-we-need-to-compost/
