Initiatives like @SafeguardingResearch work hard to rescue that are (about to be) deleted by the Trump administration, by using a Bittorrent network where many small nodes contribute.

This is a very way of doing science: community-driven, decentralized & resilient .
Some tinker projects:

🎯1. Develop the most low-cost (in €, material resources, and CO2) p2p solution for data rescueing.

Maybe a + existing HDD? Reuse existing hardware. Compute costs in absolute and relative way (€ and CO2 per terabyte of data stored & shared). Is a bigger server plugged to a uni network more efficient in relative costs?

🎯2. Run a hackathon, help others to install the bittorrent clients on whatever machine they have.

🎯3 (Bonus): Build a purely solar powered, autonomous seeding node. E.g. the went a long way in optimizing a web server that runs on solar …

The anthropologist Marshall Sahlins, surveying the data on contemporary hunter-gatherers, exploded the Hobbesian myth in an article entitled "The Original Affluent Society." They work a lot less than we do, and their work is hard to distinguish from what we regard as play. Sahlins concluded that "hunters and gatherers work less than we do; and rather than a continuous travail, the food quest is intermittent, leisure abundant, and there is a greater amount of sleep in the daytime per capita per year than in any other condition of society." They worked an average of four hours a day, assuming they were "working" at all. Their "labor," as it appears to us, was skilled labor which exercised their physical and intellectual capacities...

Gerade weil die Lage ernst ist, die weltweite Emission von Treibhausgasen noch immer steigt, brauchen wir - . Und Wissen. Und Tun. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/die-vier-vorteils-dimensionen-erneuerbarer-energien-klima-frieden-wohlstand-demokratie/

They'll make AI workers create products that AI consumes. They have no jobs that pay money, and we have no money to spend on their AI products and services.

Soooo.... they can have fun with that.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are forced to build out own economy and means of exchange.

I think I'll use tech and automation to do the hard and boring stuff. Make it to where I have more free time to spend on art.

Much better than automating art and leaving drudgery to a couple random folks to do manually.

Participatory Urbanism: A beginners guide

I recently did a speech to my local Rotary Club about a Participatory Urbanism project I am working on. To my surprise, the audience appeared equally interested in the whole Participatory Urbanism concept, as much as the project itself. So I thought it would be good to put together a quick explainer, which I can point people to, if they are interested.

Participatory Urbanism is an approach to city planning and development that actively involves citizens in the decision-making processes, right from the start, to create more inclusive, responsive, and sustainable urban environments.

Urban planning, once the exclusive domain of architects, developers, and policymakers, is slowly opening its doors to the people who live in the neighbourhoods they are shaping. This movement—known as Participatory Urbanism—is about putting residents at the centre of urban change. Unlike what we see right now, where residents are on the periphery …

I'm gonna tell my fellow white Americans, if you're trying to decolonize, or want to decolonize, and are overwhelmed, start somewhere. Start with something you feel like you can do, and start gently questioning everything else, and planning the next step.

Lifestyle changes are stressful and a lot of work. Impossible to do all at once. But it's better to do some than none, especially if it's a journey towards doing more.

Each step, I find ways that whiteness holds me back, sucks me dry, and has isolated me from nature and my own humanity.

Much of this is mental. Whiteness is a cult. Almost twenty years ago I thought, "Now that I'm learning about cults, I wonder if larger society is also a cult?... someday I'm gonna tackle that."

Whiteness/capitalism *is* that cult. That's the supporting doctrinal structure of the whole package I call Abuse Culture.

Whiteness isn't a …
