Excerpt from:
»How are we preparing for the long web?«
„The digital dark ages has been circulating among archivists and information scientists since the late 1990s. In 2018, a data preservation director at Google noted that we may end up knowing less about the early 21st century than we do about the early 20th, as early 20th century records were made on paper, while so much of what we create now is born digital and dies digital, without ever becoming physical.
All of this writing. All of these photographs. All of these communities. Less legible to a historian in 2125 than a handwritten letter from 1925.“
Reading "Careless People" by Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn Williams. Even though its stuff we've known about and/or suspected for a long time, it's still a mind blowing indictment of the abuse of power by big tech. And of course, they are all at it
I just stumbled upon "Flarum", an free and open source forum software.
Looks interesting!
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!

Next step: mobile interface improvements. There are some bugs and I have some code to integrate.

Tens totalmente razão, mas ao mesmo tempo as coisas podem accelerar subitamente dando um entorno legislativo adequado... Ya se ha visto antes...
@ferrebam we live just outside to the south of the Sierra Nevada. 58kms from the city. I don't think there is too much to be worried about, we have a lot of quakes in this region but there aren't many above Mag4. I have been here 24 years and today it was the first time I have felt anything. There was some minor damage and I think 3 people were slightly injured, I guess by falling debris.
@epn4littlefedi Do you live in Granada? This next week we are going to travel to Granada city to visit family and friends, we have not done so for years and we are a little worried about the situation
"Global Photo Project 2026. One day, one world, many ways to see it.
On August 19th, 2026, people everywhere will take photos of daily life. We will all capture one day on Earth together. This is the birthday of photography, and I want to invite you to join.
The idea is very simple. Just take one photo on August 19th, wherever you are and of whatever you like. You do not need special gear or skills. You can use any camera, including your phone. Everyone can join, whether you are just starting or have been taking photos for years.
After August 19th, you can send your photo on the website. The submission link will be sent after the 19th of August 2026. You will have time to send the image until August 31st. All the photos will be shown together in a big gallery and also in a book. This project is not for profit. The money from the book will go to charity. You will always keep the copyright of your photo."

@francois @santiago@mastodon.uy @gusdelsur@mastodon.social @gabriel@ahsocial.ar Eu espero que façam mas a dependência das big techs é enorme a migração para fora delas não é simples. e tem resistências. Eu não subestimo a Europa, disse que há uma distância enorme entre intenção e gesto
Pulling up my own comments from the thread
clearly they're trying to hide their shame. Why are you doing something you're ashamed of, choose not to or don't be ashamed and stand by it.
If you think the technology is so great, stand behind it and disclaim, rather proclaim, your use. WILD!
@xenotar @santiago@mastodon.uy @gusdelsur@mastodon.social @gabriel@ahsocial.ar
Não subestima à Europa.
- Olha pra o seu iPhone, se tiver.
Apple quer ou não, mas carga com USB-C. - threads não foi lançado na União porque não respeitava a vida privada, e ainda agora que sim existe, é uma versão diferente do resto do mundo.
- etc
Ha muitos outros exemplos.
E tens razão: não vão fazer.
Estão fazendo / a fazê-lo.
A legislação ja existe e vai entrar em vigor em breve.
@renata@cosocial.ca @autobrain@arram.senta-la.cloud Eu também não quis perder a piada do Millor. Acho que esqueci de colocar um :)
FreeBSD 2.0 was announced in November 1994; however, the first batch of CDs from Walnut Creek, released in January 1995, was labeled "January 1994." Jordan Hubbard decided to give that batch away to anyone interested, and yesterday I found the CDs I received from him. I got this image from archive.org because I don't have access to a scanner. FreeBSD 2.0 was a watershed moment in the history of FreeBSD.
