CET, it’s in the title

I guess here the topic is more of insurrections, like what’s happening in Iran right now or how it went on in HK

I think the point is more general about profiting from “renting” their music rather than from their labor. The fact that Spotify gives them peanuts make their position even more miserable.

If you want a sandwich, you have to make it.

I don’t think AIliens are the same as AGI. I believe in this frame AIliens exist in the mind of people, rather than in the machine. It’s behavior complex enough to be interpreted as such, rather than a sentient being thinking of itself as sentient, as AGI implies. It’s alive in the same way an organization is alive and thinking, or a mycelium network. AGI is human-like intelligence reproduced in silicon. AIliens are… alien.

who here is terrified of technology?

A lot of these spaces are reading, writing and designing around so-called “anti-capture” protocols exactly to avoid that.

I’m one of the few volunteer contributors to Bonfire, and I would never dream of recommending Mozilla to use it. You have to reach out to people where they are at, not pick the tools based on prime principles. American platforms are blackmailing us by gatekeeping access to audiences, but it’s not like you can pretend most humans are reachable on microscopic federated platforms.

ok, scab

We are throughout USA and Europe. I can give you personal advice as someone who emigrated, and you might want to ask the question in the community chats of different chapters, but TWC is for collective action, not for individual career support

we don’t take dues and we are not an union in a legal sense. Requirements: time, energy, and motivation to learn and contribute. You’re going to get trained on things once you join.

I actually teach how to plan, execute, and assess political and social impact, beyond practicing it in my orgs. Are you aware there are plenty of disciplines working exactly on this? Your rethoric is just a way to justify your inaction. If nothing can change, it means you’re exempted from your responsibilities. Too easy.

Everything made by humans can be destroyed by humans. No social system is forever. The rest is just skill issue.
