A town or neighborhood generally functions as a large village.
But a city does not function like a large town or a large neighborhood. It functions like a collection of competing and cooperating towns and neighborhoods.
I think this is a big reason why capitalism and our car dependent zoning has broken the way cities function. Urban and civil planners and franchise planners, etc. plan out development to optimize cities, not to optimize towns/neighborhoods.
For example, when Walmart plans a new store, they plan to optimize their sales based on service to the larger city, not in service of the town/neighborhood they are opening up in. When city planners plan a new highway, they plan it to optimize transportation in the whole city, not to optimize transportation in the town/neighborhood. Everything is planned to optimize on the city level and the village/town/neighborhood level is sacrificed as a result.
That's why people have to drive 30 minutes to go to a grocery store and 40 minutes to go to church, etc. this is what has killed our communities.
To expand on this, this is also why our "global village" of the #internet fails as a village. Because companies that have taken over the internet didn't treat it like a village, they treat it like city planners treat a city. Optimize everything for the greatest number of users.
Which is part of the interesting thing about #Mastodon and ActivityPub. An individual Mastodon server really does function more like a village than it does a city. It's a small group of people collectively trying to make their little internet community better, and they are more able to police their own users as a result. #ActivityPub is able to function like a more healthy city that supports cooperating and competing towns and villages.
Potrzebuję kupić domenę i myślę o tym, żeby wziąć też kilka literówek. Zastanawiam się tylko jak skonfigurować przekierowania, żeby mierzyć ich przydatność, a co za tym idzie konieczność przedłużania na kolejne lata. Istnieją jakieś narzędzia, dobre praktyki w tej materii? Jedyne co mi przychodzi do głowy to ustawienie przekierowań w Cloudflare. #internet#domenyInternetowe#pytanieDoEksperta
Chcemy zrobić coś dla planety? Internet i związany z nim przemysł cyfrowy odpowiada za tyle samo emisji co przemysł lotniczy. Hm... pora spojrzeć prawdzie w oczy, drodzy Fediwersjanie. 👀 :fediverse:

>> The fastest growing sector of the culture economy is distraction. Or call it scrolling or swiping or wasting time or whatever you want. But it’s not art or entertainment, just ceaseless activity.

Wczoraj odkryłem ciekawy program, którego szukałem od lat :). Mowa o programie #termshark. Z wyglądu i funkcjonalności przypomina program na desktopa o nazwie #Wireshark.
Z opisu wynika, że obsługuje także inne platformy:
La perméabilité aux mensonges et fake news semble être une drogue à accoutumance et Facebook est le dealer.
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que ceux qui décrochent guérissent (en partie)
Studies Show We Have Better Well-Being With Internet Access
'We’ve been left to think that being on the Internet is a waste of time and not good for us overall. However, results of a recently-published survey shows that we have a better well-being with access to the Internet.'
Ich werde heute Abend wieder dort sein und neben dem spannenden Vortrag vom Timo Grossenbacher auch nette Menschen treffen. Wer nicht vor Ort sein kann, kann den Vortrag auch über einen freien Video-Stream auf @c3voc über das Internet verfolgen.
The internet and time spent online is often cited as one of the biggest contributing factors to low self esteem and poor mental health, but a new study has found the opposite to be true.
“Nearly everyone seems to think that internet-powered technologies are driving an epidemic of ill-being and mental health problems,” said lead study author Dr. Matti Vuorre, assistant professor of social psychology at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, in an email to @CNN.
“Our study of over two million individuals from 160+ countries runs contrary to this idea.” Here’s more on the findings.
