Leitfaden: Feedflucht (Blog-Beitrag)
"Feedflucht" von @verwaltungsrebell@mastodontech.de ist ein interessanter Leitfaden, um sich aus den Fängen der algorithmischen Konzern-Medien zu befreien.
Die minimalistisch anmutende Seite ist unterteilt in sechs Kapitel:
"Der Tunnel: Warum der Feed dich gefangen hält
Du bist nicht schwach. Der Tunnel ist gebaut, damit du drinbleibst. In diesem Kapitel zeige ich dir, wie Feeds, Algorithmen und Datensammler wirklich funktionieren – ohne Technik-Kauderwelsch und ohne Zeigefinger.
Der Ausstieg: Schritt für Schritt raus
Du hast entschieden: So, jetzt lösche ich das Ding. Gut. Dieses Kapitel nimmt dich an die Hand: Schritt für Schritt, jede Anleitung ohne Fachjargon, dafür mit Rettungsplan für deine Daten.
Alternativen: Dienste ersetzen – ohne Datenkraken
Der Ausstieg gelingt dauerhaft, wenn etwas Besseres auf dich wartet. Hier bekommst du für jeden Dienst aus dem Tunnel einen ehrlichen Nachfolger – mit allen Vor- und Nachteilen, wie ich sie selbst erlebt habe.
Werkzeuge: Freie Programme, die dich handlungsfähig machen
Freie Software ist kein Nischenkram für Nerds, sondern der Werkzeugkasten für dein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Hier zeige ich dir die Geräte, die du wirklich brauchst – und wie du sie ohne Studium bedienst.
Anschluss: Was wirklich gegen Einsamkeit hilft
Der Feed simuliert Nähe und liefert sie nicht. In diesem Kapitel geht es um die Mechanik der Einsamkeit im Netz – und um erste, echte Schritte raus zu Menschen. Wichtig: Ich bin Fluchthelfer, kein Therapeut; wo professionelle Hilfe nötig ist, verlinke ich sie.
Freiland: Nachhaltig und sozial leben – als Gewinn, nicht als Askese
Willkommen draußen. Nach dem Ausstieg beginnt der eigentliche Gewinn: Zeit, Hände, Wetter, Nachbarn. Freiland heißt: mehr Leben statt weniger Konsum – und es fühlt sich besser an als jeder Feed."

@kuketzblog Es gibt ja noch das "alte" Netz, wir dürfen nur nicht so bequem werden und nur noch konsumieren... Ich habe das Projekt Feedflucht geschaffen, um einfach mal die Mechniken und Alternativen aufzuzeigen https://feedflucht.org Dzu gehört aber eben auch, dass man bei sich selbst anfängt. Ich habe wieder einen Feedreader auf dem Mobiltelefon und nicht 25 Nachrichten Apps, ich habe mein Social Media gebündelt auf 2 Kanäle, einer davon als Ersatz für LinkedIn. Ich nutze wieder Foren

»Linux: 35 years in 35 facts in 35 minutes«
„Linux kernel source expands beyond 40 million lines“, while it started with just 10.039 lines in 1991.
„Many companies build their businesses on open source software, code that would cost firms $8.8 trillion [in German: 8.8 Billionen $] to create from scratch if it weren't freely available.“ (OpenSource as a whole)

"How to live on Earth"
“Singapur has a philosophy of making space for nature throughout the city. This philosophy runs so deep that it’s even applied to a hospital.”
--
Have you ever seen this kind of lush green within a hospital?
Sooo beautiful, don't you think?
Shouldn't it be that way everywhere, in every hospital?
Nature heals people, what do you think?
(Benedict Cumberbatch is a great narrator in this documentary!)
Take your time and watch this inspiring documentary!

Kalia Vandever, a young person, their trombone, a computer and some effect devices.
Result: an unusual, yet beautiful sound creation.

BiblioReads (alternative.to GoodReads)
Just found an alternative frontend for goodreads, called biblioreads.
Clean graphical user interface, like I like it.
Zine Exchange Club
"Connect with fellow photography zine makers and exchange your creations with enthusiasts around the world."
Interesting idea as well :)
Postcard Exchange Club
"Connect with fellow photography postcard makers and exchange your creations with enthusiasts around the world."
I like this idea! :)
„Friendship grief (...) remains oddly invisible. Nobody teaches you how painful it feels to slowly lose access to someone who once knew your inner life intimately. Someone who understood the silences before your sentences. Someone who could identify your mood from the way you said ‘okay’. Someone who knew everything about your crushes and petty insecurities.“

What is »permacomputing«?
„Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology inspired by permaculture.
There are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, and permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth, ecologism.
Permacomputing is also a utopian ideal that needs a lot of rethinking, rebuilding and technical design work to put in practice. This is why a lot of material on this wiki is highly technical.
Most importantly, there is no permacomputing kit to buy. See permacomputing as invitation to collectively and radically rethink computational culture. It is not a tech solution searching for a problem. You are free to start your own initiative and use the term permacomputing, however please make sure you understand the purpose and ethos of this project.“
Hm, interesting concept!

toki pona in your English classroom?
Haha, that's something for the FediLZ ("Fedi Lehrkräfte-Zimmer", "fedi teacher's room"):
If you teach advanced English classes at your school, you could let your pupils watch this youtube series by jan Kekan San.
They teach the constructed language »toki pona« („The Language of Good“) with the help of a blackboard and an antromorphic star 😄
Really well done, entertaining and inspiring.
Give it a try?

"Why light-weight websites may one day save your life.
Imagine being in a situation where you have limited internet access: your internet is slow, or you're relying on a small data bundle, or you are stuck in the middle of nowhere with spotty coverage.
Now imagine that suddenly, you need help. Emergency medical information, food resource locations, shelter, assistance, anything.
Then, in your emergency state, you look up resources on the internet and find... a website that first requires you to load 500 MB of JavaScript, and lord knows what else.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's ReactJS. 💅🏻
(Post-publication addendum: 500 MB is an exaggeration even for React. But you catch my drift.)"

LittleFedi asks in the compose field:
"What is worth sharing?"
Interesting question 🤔
Other clients ask, e.g.:
"What's on your mind?"
(you don't want to know, really 😁)
or
"What are you doing?"
(nothing really, watching my timeline fly by)
Another question could be:
"Have you really thought about what you are about to share with the public / whole wide world?" 🤔
I'm very much interested in "constructed languages".
Beside being able to understand Esperanto, I learned about "Lingwa de Planeta (Lidepla)" only last year.
Lidepla is constructed out of the 10-12 most spoken languges of the world, what makes it more international than Esperanto does.
Here are some example sentences:
"Some phrases will almost seem to be Russian:
Yu snova dumai om sey nove filma.
You think about this new film again.
Some phrases may consist almost solely of Chinese words:
Ta shwo ke ta bu yao chi yan, ta yao nangwa.
He says that he does not want to eat mutton, he wants pumpkin.
Some may consist of Hindi words:
Me jan ke mata pri pi chay.
I know that mother likes to drink tea.
And some are of Arabic ones:
Juma sabah me safari.
On Friday morning I am going for a trip."

I like the considerations they made while developing the Lingwa de Planeta :)
Their slogan: "Fo unitaa de Arda! - For the unity of the Planet!"
