Last Notes npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Brazil, welcome to the fediverse! npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1ftd…4cve that's what I'm hoping for. And preferably one provided by an organization that is not actively exploiting scholars for free labor and libraries for exorbitant subscription fees. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider What is your search engine for scholarly publications? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider If you wanted to build a database/website on Notion but then instead wanted to do it in a portable, FLOSS-y way, how would you do it? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I am noticing, in a discussion on indigeneity, how my own lineage of exile, migration, and diaspora makes me more comfortable trusting trans-territorial networks than territorial states. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I have never been to a protest that didn't have its moments of cringe, of awkwardness, of appalling ugliness. You must balance that with the beauty and the bigger picture. The mess of humanity comes out in force in struggles for justice. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider The moon is rising and npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I especially appreciate this in light of @npub1ftd…4cve's account of web browser financing as a tax on search: https://darobin.github.io/wise/ npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I'm really appreciating this idea on FOSS from my colleague Bo Waggoner—not just "free as in speech" or "free as in beer" but "free as in way." Increasingly, that is, FOSS acts like a freeway. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider We don't ask this question nearly enough. Part of a plea (at Princeton last week) for designing online governance for an internet full of #GovernableSpaces. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider As Reddit goes public, remember that so much of its success comes from the extent to which it enabled #GovernableSpaces among its users. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1trd…ussx nope it is focused on non-digital practices. See govbase.metagov.org and communityrule.info for the digital side npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider This is an incredibly important book—an in-depth, gripping account of among the greatest economic development achievements in US history: cooperative rural electrification. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Toronto-area friends! Please help spread the word about an event next Tuesday for the launch of my new book, #GovernableSpaces: npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider TODAY IS THE DAY. Allow me to introduce you to my new book, "Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life" (w/ beautiful illustrations). npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1pdv…gqz2 or at least an army of edgetrolls npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Great summary by @npub1xkg…gph9 about why you don't need to read a book by an investor whose company helped ruin the internet about how his investments will save the internet. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Wherever you are, I want to introduce you to my new book, #GovernableSpaces. Please come to a special book-launch edition of the virtual Metagov Seminar on February 28: https://lu.ma/governable-spaces npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Please consider lending your name in support of Amin, one of the most talented activists and teachers I have ever known. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider New Yorkers, just announced! A release event for my book Governable Spaces, featuring talks by brilliant governance-tech innovators. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1axm…dsle Thanks:) You can start using @npub1zxn…7s3u at the Matrix.org instance: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I wish more people used @npub1zxn…7s3u with me. It really is a beautiful blend between Slack and Signal, except federated and secure. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1g57…y839 Beautiful, thank you. What were the care packages? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Thought experiment: Would you use email if you couldn't interact with Gmail or Outlook accounts? Who would not be on email were it not for a Gmail or Outlook account? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1ptm…2xku That's insanely cool! I love the idea of making the terminal feel more integrated with the rest of the OS. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Signal is a good reason (along with Wikipedia, Mastodon, and Firefox) that we need way more nonprofit tech. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider This is as good a moment as any to remember that the United States of America is a mortal danger to the universe without a very big, very powerful antiwar movement. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Powerful reportage by Brandi Collins-Dexter on cryptocurrency and Black Americans in @npub12dd…jscn: https://www.wired.com/story/what-can-crypto-still-do-for-black-people/ npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Thread: WeWork is imploding. This is a case in point about the problems of relying on venture-capital financing for everything... npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Why do people go to jail for defrauding investors but investors don't go to jail for defrauding workers? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1lsl…9c2x I used your new trust and safety game in my Intro to Social Media class today. It was fun! Mostly good reviews from the students. One suggestion was that there is a lot of text that slows down gameplay. But thanks for this great tool for thinking about tradeoffs! npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I know this is unusual, but I just said something nice about @npub1gzc…fsz3 on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/17c2g8w/comment/k6jwp8n/ npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Happening now at the National Mall, thousands in prayer for peace and justice in Gaza #ceasefirenow npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider I am grateful for people like Andreessen for continually making the job of media studies scholars way too easy by providing cartoon versions of what would otherwise be more challenging to critique. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Ooh, I'm super excited about two new articles that I just encountered: npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Reminder to #Socialcoop members from the Finance Working Group: npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq Absolutely true. The situation is in not simple, but few matters of international relations are. But there are other ways in which it is simpler than the global discourse makes it appear. A decades-long military occupation. That is what provides the fodder for others to exploit. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq Me neither. My time there was 10 years ago, and from what I read things have only gotten worse: https://killingthebuddha.com/mag/dispatch/the-hourglass/ npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq It doesn't take long visiting the West Bank, and seeing the settlements and the Israeli-only roads, to understand that the "two state solution" was always a fiction. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq Because the policy of the Israeli state is to undermine the possibility Palestinian survival. Having friendly Palestinian neighbors would be pressure to make those Palestinians full citizens, which would make it harder to have an ethno-state. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq Because the policy of the Israeli state is to undermine the possibility Palestinian survival. Having friendly Palestinian neighbors would be pressure to make Palestinian citizens, which would make it harder to have an ethno-state. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider So are we ever going to be able to follow Threads-ers? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider BBC gives up Threads, sticks with Mastodon: https://darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-threads-by-instagram-sticks-with-mastodon npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Mastodon running on an Apple IIc at the @npub14dp…9jyw!!! npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1gaj…78dz An audio file that has some kind of clipping npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Anyone with amazing audio editing skills willing to see if you can rescue a podcast I screwed up? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Not important in the scheme of things, but... npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1gzc…fsz3 Are the tabs ever going to go away and be replaced by the Spaces menu? They seem almost redundant. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider Just started a thread on having the #SocialCoop Finance Working Group develop an annual comprehensive budget for the co-op—members, please join: https://www.loomio.com/d/wRZ9K2As/developing-a-social-coop-cohesive-budget npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1g57…y839 That is helpful perspective, as I'm starting to feel deeply frustrated about progress on things I've been working on for about a decade. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider (Asking for an in-law) npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider What mastodon instance would you recommend for someone interested in college sports, architecture, food, and history? npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1trd…ussx NewPipe was working okay for me today npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider @npub1u27…3qfq Thanks for the context! And yeah, I can't turn off the setting because I only sign into Google on isolated container tabs. npub14ke5t3d7uqwz9jx3qwr7fkukydjze29p6hgdeer8fgxsqqz608wsxjmlx4 Nathan Schneider If you were looking for a US antiwar movement nowadays, where would you go?
