In case you didn't notice yet: #38C3 will have an actual 1990s circuit switched ISDN telephone exchange (Siemens EWSD) providing wired POTS and ISDN services on-site: https://youtu.be/qIpDiiJTZTA?feature=shared #retronetworking #ccc2024 #ccc #isdn

Video is such a big part of how we share, learn, and stay updated online. But with #BigTech monopolies and censorship (both private and state), it’s key to have alternatives.
This month, we’re talking to @peertube a network of independent, self-managed and interconnected platforms. They received a grant from @NGIZero as part of the #NGI0 project.
- Do you want to see how can make this vision real?

#ISOC are so funny sometimes (as in comically transparent) :
From their 2022 report on their concerns about #DigitalSovereignity:
"... it summarizes recent trends in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Europe (including Russia) — the regions where digital sovereignty has manifested most explicitly in public policy and government rhetoric. "
That is to say, the "regions" that represent a clear majority of the "global" that they are also want to go on about.

Without FFmpeg, we couldn't watch YouTube, yet the people who maintain FFmpeg don't get paid. Tell your employer to join the Pledge and #PayTheMaintainers!

As for the article, well, to try + make a reply as short as possible, yet not pointless, there are a couple of things I would disagree with, but my post was not so much to call attention to this article in particular.
So - What's wrong about it? as in EFF? -
Could I just say, I would not have a problem with eff if they were called something like the "silicon valley corporate and cultural domination promotion psyop foundation". Although that IS a bit of a mouthful, I would have to agree
@adra
That's a good question, and makes me think that I don't really have a lot of desire to get into it here - Which makes me wonder, why then did I post this comment? Perhaps, I too fall prey to the desire to probe for resonance on "social" media. A "fav" or a quick response makes one feel less alone.
I also thought about how one could write something like "it's nuanced", or "If you know, you know", and I put that here now as an insight to the process, not to actually say those things.
#EFF once again giving reasons to question their motives and allegiances

Impedir la explotación es bueno; pienso tb en:
¿que se necesita para que hayan plataformas mexicanas, O mejor, - hasta locales, comunitarias?
¿Formación?
¿Acceso a computadoras? ¿hospedaje de servidores?

So, there was a question in the Presidential Press Conference about a #sovereign #socialnetwork.
https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=aiRzBFPB27s&t=1h6m12s
Interesting theme.
The question was from ECOS Media Mx, which looks very "startup", not really into sovereignty or autonomy; https://ecosmedia.mx/
Looks more into the standard publicity model, "influencers", centralised platforms + the usual that goes along with that stuff.
All the same, It would be interesting to talk about how they perceive a sovereign "Social Network"
Si alguien responde, se hará otro #PLQQ este jueves 17 de octubre a las 16 horas.

And I think that leads me to a concern I have been brooding over in the last few weeks:
👉 The #Fediverse is not a drop-in replacement for #Twitter.
And it shouldn't be, because that would undermine the added value that comes
1) from local communities, connected by shared values, that also federate,
2) from empowering individuals to be in control of their identity and data, and
3) from the open standards that allow extending the "language" of the network.
(5/7)
You might rightly suggest that there is bias due to happening to live in these particular times, but here's a statement;
The worst event to ever afflict humanity is the emergence of the #Mobile #Phone, aggravated by the #Internet.
At times I do consider that ironically, recovery could be via the internet itself, or #digital #technology in general. Other times not, and I'd say better cut losses now.
However, many of the people I work worth are not even open to observing the problem. 😞
