Oh! the irony.

#Kingsnorth has a new piece out called The Trap - A conspiracy theory.

From the introduction it appears to be about building a "great mind" through data harvesting -

"...We need the people to tell us everything. We need them to tell us every day, in a continual flowing stream...."

🙂
And you can read it for free; - if you add your data to the machine.

We might assume he's choosing to end the publicly readable intro here in order to make a point?

Working with a community network installation that has their own fibre, I wanted to help get connectivity to some people who are beyond the reach of the current fibre rollout.

I decided to grab some #Ericsson #RBS equipment that was gathering dust at the TIC-AC offices and at the same time, install another site that would make use of tic's #900Mhz band concession for social use.

In order to temporarily install the #LTE unit; while a new hilltop tower is in the works, some members of the radio station committee kindly converted a disused toilet room adjacent to the studio into an Ericsson cabinet :-) with some makeshift but sturdy shelves made from fresh pine, which is getting warmed slightly by the equipment, and it smells great!

There's a QR code on a poster on the door of #PanConMadre. Seems to be advertising a multi-lingual get together; QR code has this url: https://qr.me-qr.com/gb0ucGae

Now, that seems to be some kind of MITM advertising serving service, (successfully blocked by browser), but I can click a "Skip ad" button and get redirected to this URL: https://www.instagram.com/luditalk/ in which there is a thumbnail that appears to mention a language exchange event in #Oaxaca. Clicking that leads me to this screenshot. 😕
