anarchists are just people who want to unfuck the world while also having tactical and realistic beliefs about power

Of course Elsevier's "enhanced pdf viewer" tracks where you click, view, if you hide the page, etc. and then transmits a big base64 blob of events along with ID from University proxy when you leave. I'm sure straight to SciVal for sale.
Is this the way we want science to work?

hell yes another believer in irresponsible use of the dave

alright I'm going to boot up one of these #atprotocol graph indexers and start sampling the firehose. even doing that feels like an invasion of privacy but I gotta know what ya can do with that

what it takes to become a bad actor in a "federated" system

if ur data model of everything has people writing ontologies in yaml and writing custom code generators to convert to it after more than 20 years of well-supported work u know something has gone drastically wrong somewhere.

friends, do I reach anyone who knows of writing about the cognitive design of single bar search, it's relationship to expectations about access to/organization of information on the web, and its relationship in facilitating technologies like context infill via surveillance and structured query parsing via #SemanticWeb tech?

#STS, #MediaStudies, #HCI, or any critical socio technical perspective welcome :)

idk if enough people appreciate the double-sided nature of #AI Dogshit and search engines/info companies. It's a classic grift: invent the disease and sell the cure.

Making tools to generate massive amounts of fake information is actually great for business, because then only Google and Microsoft can afford to invest in filtering it from their search results. So they win both ways: chat AI can feed you bad info, but you can still only access good info through them.

people keep spending too much time thinking about what a technology *is* and not enough about *who owns it and how they profit from it.*

and even less time thinking about *how they can destroy that property relation and liberate the underlying technology* if it's useful

why the heck do some #p2p protocols get hung up on discoverability with a single method, isn't that what ended up happening with #BitTorrent anyway? trackers, but also DHT, PEX, multitracker announces, hole punching, etc.

esp. with identified peers/signed data, I want to be able to be able to do global peer exchange, but then also be able to have specified shibboleth friend peers who can point to and sign for me, point with a rel="me" from a URL at me and my servers and my friends servers...

ok does anyone have a better system than just having every possible AC-DC inverter for the problem of "I sort of regularly have weird electronics that need power and can't remember what needs what"

I fucking hate LaTeX but being able to make a fucking gorgeous PDF on the fly is actually probably one of the most important survival skills i have under capitalism when it comes right down to it. bosses and landlords and granting agencies and shit really love a good pdf.
