Giving up on all the fancy stuff and just transitioned my newsletter back to a simple Mailman operation. There's a form at the bottom of my website: https://nathanschneider.info/

Bye, bye, tracking and formatting.

@light oh, maybe I need to update that? I set it up pretty early on. Is that the problem?

@ntnsndr@social.coop avatar

@light thanks for explaining this. On the app GUI they only offer the plc option. I can understand it as an attempt to walk the line between laying decentralized groundwork but also making the onramps as accessible as possible.

I learned a lot from this great talk by Glen Coulthard on third-fourth-world solidarity: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/dene-self-determination-glen-coulthard-1.7208086?s=09

The role of Israel-Palestine conflict in shaping the 1970s stuggles—what a rhyme.

@quinn ah yeah that too. Basically all the stuff about nature we humans are too thick-headed to figure out ourselves.

Thanks to @Matt_Noyes and @geosocialcoop for this fabulous interview with Brazilian philosopher Euclides Mance on liberation theology, solidarity economy, and the perils of switching from PHP to Java. This is a great gift to us mono-lingual English speakers.

So far, are AI chatbots saving you work or giving you more to do?

ntnsndr,
@ntnsndr@social.coop avatar

@rose_alibi @JeffC1956 It is really hard. I am in awe of what they can do, in some respects, but I also assume that any email I'm not willing to write myself is probably not worth writing.

That said, this is a world that demands many emails be written that are not worth writing.

Maybe the question of whether a system is governable matters more than whether it is open.

Ooh I just noticed that the PolicyKit website is much improved—nice work @axz and team! https://policykit.org/

@light @axz decentralized in what sense? That word can mean nearly anything. The project is open-source and plausibly self-hostable, I believe.

@ntnsndr@social.coop avatar

@axz @light That's phenomenal. Thank you for sharing!

Turns out when you build a co-op news org, you get awesome coverage of co-ops.

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?

Back home after a very busy week in San Francisco. I spoke with @caseynewton, @mmasnick, @harrymccracken, @laurengoode, @chrismessina, @Markoff and so many others. In an age where the old web is gradually getting killed off by AI, there is still hope for the future in the shape of the fediverse.

@Gargron @caseynewton @mmasnick @harrymccracken @laurengoode @chrismessina @Markoff Ooh that is a great set of folks! You certainly got a very skewed impression of our strange country.

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.

@ntnsndr@social.coop avatar

@jonny totally. Though land-centered non-state Indigenous perspectives can be anarchist too. I am just seeing how there is wisdom both in land-centeted stewardship traditions and network-centered diasporas.
