Die unsichtbaren Ketten unserer Geräte: Warum wir eine Werkstatt für digitale Souveränität brauchen!

Mein Computer und mein Smartphone sind mir näher als die meisten Werkzeuge. Sie sind Fenster zur Welt, Archiv meines Lebens, Verlängerung meines Denkens. Und doch, in immer klareren Momenten, spüre ich: Sie gehören mir nicht wirklich. Ich besitze die Hardware, ja – aber die Kontrolle? Die liegt anderswo. Bei Konzernen, deren Geschäftsmodell darin besteht, meine Aufmerksamkeit zu verkaufen, meine Gewohnheiten zu protokollieren und meine Abhängigkeit zu zementieren.

Die Grünen verlassen also nun X. Das finde ich gut. Das man als erste Alternative den nächsten Broligarchen Datensilo Bluesky nennt ist jedoch einfach nur dämlich. Anders kann ich es nicht ausdrücken. Man geht von einer US Venture Capital Fascho Bude zur nächsten und feiert das als Fortschritt.

Aber ganz ehrlich: ich erwarte von den Grünen inzwischen auch nicht mehr. Das Netzpolitische Verständnis hat in der Partei in den vergangenen Jahren auch konstant abgenommen.

Dabei haben die Grünen unter https://gruene.social seit Jahren eine eigene Fediverse Instanz.

Wer so agiert hat das Problem ganz einfach nicht verstanden!

As some of you have already guessed: the progressive parties in German politics (and the social democrats 😉) have jointly decided to leave the manipulative and abusive cesspit that twitter has turned into. I‘m very happy and also a little proud of this.
If you want want to do me a favor, be ready to welcome an influx of mildly woke people.

Es ist zu begrüßen, dass viele Politker:innen nun endlich #X verlassen.

Mögen Sie den #eXit auch in den #Ämtern und #Behörden vollziehen, in denen sie Verantwortung tragen.

Als soziale Medien, mit denen die #Demokratie gefördert wird, sehen wir #Mastodon und die anderen Dienste des #Fediverse.
#BlueSky und #EuroSky erscheinen uns keine sinnvolle Alternative, um wirklich #sozialeMedien aufzubauen.

Vom Regen: Mit dem Hashtag #WirVerlassenX werden #Grüne, #SPD und #Linke ihren Mitgliedern heute den Ausstieg aus dem sozialen Netzwerk #X empfehlen und mitteilen, dass sie ihre Accounts dort nicht mehr bespielen werden. „Unseren Parteimitgliedern und Gliederungen steht es natürlich frei, selbst zu entscheiden, ob sie auf X bleiben wollen“, sagte Grünen-Geschäftsführerin Pegah Edalatian dazu, auf die die ganze Initiative auch zurückgeht.
In die Traufe: Es wird empfohlen, stattdessen zu #Bluesky zu wechseln.

Dear #fediverse, I've been working on some projects (as a #solodev for the past year and I've always been afraid of sharing them for fear of sounding like a shrill.

I believe in digital and infra sovereignty and I have been building tools around that, but I have been very afraid of sharing my thoughts for fear of criticisms.

I have been feeling torn and stuck because of this.

I would like to ask, is it ok if I start talking about my products and what I have been working on?

I don’t have all the answers yet. Diagnosis is still preliminary (Asperger's mentioned, AuDHD suspected).

But I’m starting to accept that my brain will probably always do this dance.

What’s helping a bit:

- Fewer tools (I'm trying to kill half of them)
- Accepting that "good enough" is better than “perfect but abandoned”
- Writing things down immediately instead of trusting my memory

If you're also stuck in the endless app-switching hell… you're not broken. Your brain just needs different rules.

Would love to hear how other people handle this.

April was rough, but these two kept me going.

My Apple Music Replay shows 252 hours of listening this month - with Kælan Mikla as my №1 artist and Moby right behind.

Their atmospheric, melancholic sound was exactly what I needed when things felt heavy.

Kælan Mikla (BTW - Icelandic darkwave/post-punk) especially tracks like Sólstöður and Stjörnuljós (sorry, I had to copy the titles since I have no Icelandic layout) felt like cold northern light cutting through the fog.

Haunting, beautiful, strangely comforting. Moby’s Natural Blues and The Sky Is Broken hit different too (like in my previous post).

If you haven’t heard Kælan Mikla yet, start with their latest album "Undir Köldum Norðurljósum".

I can’t recommend them enough.
Music really does save us sometimes.

good #tzag, #fediverse! are we having a good weekend?

wild that the band MASTODON

#mastodon #fedi #fediverse #HeavyMetal

I had the opportunity to tell the founders of the Sovereign Tech Agency (@sovtechfund) that I'm a big fan of their organization. I firmly believe that other countries should have similar initiatives. In fact, the EU should have one too.

Their recent €600k+ grant to Mastodon is a great example of what public investment in open digital infrastructure can look like. It strengthens the Fediverse, a real alternative to X. As I’ve argued in the #LeaveX campaign: we already have a viable social media alternative to X (1) and what we lack is sustained funding and political commitment. (2)

Thus, if more EU countries invested in improving Mastodon, how quickly could it become Europe’s de facto public square?

While most European politicians still prefer X for their official communication, reducing technical barriers could attract a more diverse audience, including the people our representatives want to reach, like journalists and the general public.

By the way, it's interesting, though not surprising, that the Sovereign Tech Agency has almost four times as many followers on Mastodon as on Bluesky. It would be great to see them highlighting posts and profiles of some awesome open-source projects active on the Fediverse. 😉

Hmm. Das #freakstock sucht nach Menschen die #Workshop s anbieten. Ob ich mich mit einem Workshop zu einem dezentralen sozialen nicht zu #BigTech gehorenden Netzwerk, konkret dem #Fediverse um einen Workshop Slot bewerben sollte?

I'm so excited for this next year on the #Fediverse.

And the more I learn, the more I think #BridgyFed is going to become a foundational part of our network.

I just posted my first messages from #Emissary across Bridgy to my account on BlueSky.

I still have some things to fix (on my end, not theirs) but it worked.

IT WORKED.

NGL, I feel a little like Morpheus right now. And just think of what it will mean for every account set up on #Bandwagon...

This took a bit longer than expected, but it's finally here: the "Join the Fediverse!" zine!

https://jointhefediverse.net/zine?lang=en-us

#fediverse #JoinTheFediverse #zine

I think that once #Collections are up and running and have become well-established, and once people have curated some good #folklore and #mythology - themed Collections around here, I will write a "Folklore on the #Fediverse " page for my website.

I've long promoted a free and open approach to folklore research (which is why I have put all my translations of German folk tales under a Creative Commons Zero license), and thus it is in my best interest to promote the Fediverse as a great place to hang out for folklore enthusiasts.

And I remember what a massive boost Collections were for Google+ until Google killed the platform, so I hope Collections will do wonders for the popularity of the Fediverse.

(As a reminder, I want the Fediverse to grew much larger than it is currently so that it can supplant commercial social media platforms - most of which are now among the primary tools of fascists, and thus a dire threat to the long-term survival of human civilization.)

A kookaburra is perched on grass, holding a raw sausage in its beak. Surrounding it are green leaves and fallen brown foliage. A kookaburra at my house whilst we were preparing a barbecue. We had raw sausages ready to cook. (We should know not to leave any meat unattended as Kookaburras have a keen eye and smell). They also frequent nature reserves and wildlife parks when they smell a barbecue, and will often swoop down to steal raw or cooked sausages or any meat from a barbecue or even from the table where people are sitting! How dare they! Most Aussies are aware of this and many have had some of their meat taken by Kookaburras, but we all love them, and their great laugh that they make.

Controls (Modular World Anniversary Show performance [from the archives, 9 May 2021]). Originally performed and recorded for the Modular World 1st anniversary show (8-9 May 2021) which was a massive livestream event of 33+ hrs during the pandemic lockdowns.

During the lockdown years, Modular World became one example of a fairly niche thing gathering people together worldwide to make experimental art online - when it was not possible to organize the usual small local performances - to create something positive and reach more people than they ever could individually. As the pandemic finally, thankfully, subsided, however, it seems that people went back to the enclosed local communities, and these types of global online communities lost their drive. 

Also the rapidly accelerating #enshittification cycle of the past few years has buried the visibility of these kinds of communities from all major social media platforms. Of course, as Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) has been pointing out for years, the enshittification of these platforms started much earlier. But somehow amid the pandemic, this niche scene still seemed to flourish, and it was only after Silicon Valley lined up to kiss the ring that the aggressive changes to the algorithms really seemed to change things. 

Maybe this is correlation more than causation, but as activity at such niche scenes is often also created by fairly principled DIY-oriented people, it seems that many (myself included) have struggled with justifying why we keep feeding these platforms. This disillusionment is further exacerbated by the rise of the AI-slopmachine that will rip off all the non-commercial work from these platforms just like everything else. Online activity that gathers enough momentum to actually keep things active has in these types of niche scenes been very much dependent on instagram and youtube. Over the past few years, the visibility of this type on stuff that doesn’t try to optimise for the alorithm has plummeted. 

Perhaps all of this has resulted in events such as the Modular World shows reaching fewer and fewer people. As wonderful as the promise of #Fediverse is, so far it seems that we’re very far from reaching the critical mass where it would actually start reaching new people. If the utopian enclave remains enclosed, it eventually dwindles away.

But we can try! I’m posting these weird little Johannes Karkia mini music videos and performances here bit by bit. It’s a transfer of archive, posted on insta & youtube over th years, and also new work now & then. 

But also Modular World does still exist! Go check out their channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/07ErB3AjlAo?is=qr9q2pXlhWm7Hie2 (Full performance of this piece, and interview with MW’s Johno Wells there on the Modular World youtube channel and on the Johannes Karkia youtube channel [link in the bio above], audio track also on Bandcamp).

Hey #fediverse I'd like your help and thoughts. I believe that the work you create in any software program should be portable and yours to edit anywhere, but companies lock that work up in proprietary formats meaning you have to pay their license to access your work.

I think file formats should be open and I'm proposing legislation to help, customers and allow new companies to join the market.

@paco @davidgerard Former chemist, so a nerd snipe on anything to do with rapid oxidation and other fun material transformations is possible, but I'm going to give it the ol' Fermi problem try first.

A US note (regardless of denomination) is 156x66 mm, or about 0.01 square meter. Let's start by laying them all flat, in a single one-bill layer, to keep things simple. Assuming we're going to burn $100 bills (to maximize our literal cash burn), that's about $10,000 per square meter or 20,000,000 square meters to equal $200B.

This works out to a circular disk of $100 bills about 2523 meters in radius.

Individual bills are thin. They'd burn pretty fast, once lit. If we light the middle of the circle and the flame front expands radially outward by 25 mm (about an inch) per second, that's enough to consume an entire bill (lengthwise) in 6 seconds. Sounds about right, based on how fast thin paper seems to burn. At that rate, it'll take 2523 meters / 0.025 meters/second ~= 100,000 seconds or about 1.15 days to burn the entire disk of flammable currency.

But I suspect that past a certain point, the expanding fire might be hot enough to start igniting things further ahead of the immediate flames, in which case the flame front would expand much faster. Also, you'd likely get some updrafts that would carry burning Benjamins further afield, which would start spot fires in other pars of the gigadollar disk some distance away, each one burning at a similar rate. Spot fires could sharply reduce the total time, easily a factor of 10 or more, especially if they started fairly early on. My Fermi-inspired guess is you're looking at "a few hours, maybe longer if the fire is extremely well-behaved, maybe less if it goes total chaos muppet", to torch things that way.

I don't have a good sense of whether making stacks (more to burn per area, but less area) makes things go faster, and that's a branch of material science I'm not super familiar with, so I'll leave it at that.

In his latest “Pivot to AI” OpenAI faces cash crunch in 2026 as bills come due, @davidgerard (accurately) says: “#OpenAI works by setting as much money as it can on fire, as fast as possible.”

But I want to know: if we had $200B in, say, $100 notes, and we literally set them on fire:

• would it dispose of the money faster? How long would it take?
• would the impact on the environment be worse or less bad?

I gotta think there is someone on the #fediverse with the wherewithal to figure this out. Surely if we boost this, it will nerdsnipe the right person and we will learn the answer.

Thanks to @deadsuperhero for the collaboration on this update to my article from last summer. As Sean put it: "It's a way to reflect on how things have changed over the past six months, with clear ideas on where things are headed." Hope like the last time, this sparks good conversations and further motion.

The funniest (and saddest) part? I keep buying into the fantasy version of myself.

“I'll become that organized person who uses one clean system.”

“I’ll finally be the guy who journals every day.”

“I’ll turn into an anime watcher and use this subscription.”

I pay for it. I set it up. I feel good for three days.
Then real life happens, my energy crashes, and the whole thing dies.

It's not even about the tools anymore.

It's about constantly chasing a version of me that doesn’t exist.

Anyone else living in this loop?
