Some links may be missing still, but we’re working on it…

"No one would do anything if they wasn't paid!"

Yesterday 150 locals alongside a variety of public bodies, local orgs and special interest groups cleaned up some 2000 tyres, up to 100 trolleys, and a fridge out of the River Ogmore in Wales.

Anarchism is this, normalised.

Fair enough. I try not to be a zealot but it is increasingly apparent that we need to break from big tech and support those FLOSS projects we love. We are || this close from being the equivalent of Gap on Mainstreet in terms of tech biodiversity.

Baby steps...I increasingly feel there are two 'tech' consumers...and convenience is tough to beat 😞

@sam only $300k?
#ICANN really lowered the prices...

I remember when it was like $1M non-refundable application fee and $100k per year maintenance fee...

In Oct 2009 I ran spontaneously behind the Google Streetview car on Borsigstrasse Berlin. One year later the Streetview pictures were published by Google and my action became a performance piece. I called it “15 Seconds Of Fame“. I could be found on the service for a very long time, for almost 14 years. Google never updated the picture set because there were big discussions over privacy questions in Germany back then. But couple weeks ago, on July 25th 2023 Google ran an update and I disappeared from the service. „15 seconds of fame“ turned into almost 15 years ;)) The work is finally complete.

@EU_Commission We used to have a decentralised Internet in the 90s. It was called "the Internet".

i tweeted last week about how "if you're uncomfortable with being the admin of on-prem gear, moving things into the cloud doesnt make things better" - welp. here's your sign:
