Let it be known that @detien.bsky.social is now on bsky with the most slept on skeets. Give them a follow 🫡

released a new version of lichen-markdown that adds an easy way to export a .zip of all of your markdown files and assets without using the terminal hoping to avoid data entrapment by big tech platforms as well as by small permacomputing cmses codeberg.org/ukrudt.net/l...

TIL that the concept/term "technoscience" was invented by none other than Harold Lasswell, the founding father of modern political psychology. (Lasswell pioneered many other key social scientific concepts, such as "the policy sciences" and "the garrison state.")

Do I know anyone who's worked in freeing OSS with accompanying stranded IP in the public sector? Situation is: - originally incubated at a publicly funded institution - open-source code - ownership of everything beyond the code is unclear (e.g. trademark, data, governance, commercial usage rights)

We're pleased to share more info about the AT Protocol Community Fund. The fund exists to provide community & event support, fund grants, and support individuals and projects. It is fiscally hosted by the Raft Foundation, a 501c3. #ATCommunityFund

Decentralize till it hurts, centralize till it works (protocolize it)

"Such fractious eras can be terrible to live through, as we are all finding out now, but they do have a silver lining: They create an opening for the ordinary individual to gain agency at the expense of both kinds of elites...These gains typically take a very particular form: better protocols."

git-merge. git-fork. Repeat. This is why experiments like www.edgecity.live are exciting to me. Still early days, but it's one way to increase the democratic bitrate in cities.

Earlier this year, we participated in the research and writing of this report on networked cooperative ecosystems. Thanks to V6A CoLab for inviting us! paragraph.xyz/@v6a/network...

I built a new tool! Semioscape.org -- it's a concept cartographer and way of probing Claude's ability to generate associations, creating a kind of mental lexicon. Someone described it as a "smart Obsidian"--give it a try!

From Lou Keep's Man as a Rationalist Animal

We're starting to get into weeds of our first in-house project at V6A and I'm realizing I've been grappling with an intense craving for legibility these last few weeks. I wonder how much we've fumbled by giving into this craving too soon. Falling into the trap of rationalism/logic-izing too fast

The Dispatches have dropped. Half an alternative vision to network states and half hyperstition, the research plays with what a localized, but globally networked world could look like. Each story focuses in on a theme, from nested bioregionalism to supermodular software and composable public policy.

Chenoe’s case studies will change how you see every building you pass. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Any NYC-based P2P/web3/open-source folks out here building in/for climate? v6acolab.org is working with Climate-KIC (Europe's largest mutli-stakeholder climate innovation partnership and accelerator) to bring part of the program to the US for the first time... 1/2

Huge illegible opportunity space for protocol entrepreneurs with the right kind of X-Ray vision to see past limited formal models of entrepreneurship

What we’re looking for in the SoP 2024 program. Know anyone who fits? summerofprotocols.com/research/sop...

Very excited to be bringing to life this vision of composable moderation we’ve been working towards since the start! We'll always provide a foundation of moderation in the app, but you'll be able to stack mod services soon like putting together lego blocks to build your own experience.

I'm looking for applied researchers with a penchant for muddling through complex problem spaces and a deep interest in co-operative ecosystems and networks. Get in touch if this is you!

Also adding a sneaky thanks to @wilkinson.graphics for sliding into the dms with some absolutely eagle-eyed design and copywriting advice 🙏🏾

I quite literally whipped up this application on my NJ transit commute home the night it was due -- So shoot your shot (a little earlier, preferably) with something you care deeply about! You might end up meeting some very cool people to mind-meld with :)

What's happening in Los Angeles? Well Causal Islands of course!! We are on the LA Luma community page (https://lu.ma/la). You can sign up directly for Causal Islands: LA Edition here 👇 lu.ma/causal-islands-la #futureofcomputing #conference #losangeles

I've been in stealth mode with v6acolab.org for a while now, but the new website's finally up and I'd love some design/copy feedback! (as someone who's most comfortable sprinting around the interstices, summing up my work in a neat box is the bane of my existence)

Denver is snowing today and 18 degrees on Friday. The plants are confused, non crypto people are confused and I'm over here trying to fit a ski jacket into my luggage while pulling out a sundress. Should be a good week.

Do I know any experienced Rust devs here looking for some short term contract work? Bonus if you're familiar with Aries (www.hyperledger.org/projects/aries) and you'd be up to mentor 1-2 junior devs. Part of some work at linkedtrust.us. Dm me if you want to chat!

If a social practice is made to be seen as unchangeable with a particular set of possibilities realisable only in a particular way, What does it take for an individual socialized into it to realize it's constructedness, it's immutability?

I'll add that The Permanent is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen in the city. Come just to stare at the ceiling in awe too :)

600+ native plants in the ground in Brooklyn this last month via @V6A_coLab. I can start to see a shift in what people see as viable, designed urban landscapes. We need to make sure these are also viable climate-wise...what works now isn't going to work 5, even 3 years from now.

Wrapping up incubation phase of Summer of Protocols. Next week, affiliate researchers join the program and we kick it up a notch. Now might be a good time to subscribe to newsletter. Next week’s issue will be a midpoint review/gear-shift. https://paragraph.xyz/@protocolized/protocols-of-transition

Do Not Disturb Mode Activated. @jzhao.xyz See you soon#dweb2023 @archive.org

Coming out to DWeb? Check out the audio-visual storytelling session that T.B. Dinesh and I are hosting on Friday. Also looking into setting up some emergent sessions on protocols and more human alternatives to the network state. keep an eye out/reach out if interested :)

sharing a mini-project, I interviewed @[email protected] and @[email protected] about their work, solidarity infrastructure, and various other things a website of hand-crafted html with the interviews is here: interviews.commoninternet.net

Well I guess I should start skeeting How's it going! I'm Michael, a story artist primarily for live action who's looking to expand my career track into animation boarding as well. I'm currently building my expanded portfolio, but here's my current one: www.miroweart.com

Can't wait for warmer weather again. Let there be green!🍃

The next DWeb NYC meetup is happening at BioTech Without Borders this Sunday! Come learn/chat about digital governance inspired by biological systems, mesh networking and the possibilities of decentralized research. https://events.nixnet.services/events/fbecbbf7-fd9d-4887-a792-35b6be0177ad

There’s a counter movement to the Network State called Communation See my ref page https://bmannconsulting.com/#/page/communation And working GDoc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TimmkfE2DCog1RVgyeo1AVOdEdGB_-I2ok2v0w10jvY/edit

I'm looking forward to joining this amazing little rag tag crew as an affiliate researcher this summer. It's a permissionless venture so please jump in the discord and explore with us, let's see what kinds of ideas and collaborations we can grow together ☀️ https://discord.gg/5uRMa7AB

I've always thought of the destruction we've caused as a species in so little time as appalling. Which it is. But Lewis Thomas reframes that feeling wonderfully: we have hope and patience for our children to learn, fail & grow, so why not for ourselves? A young & fragile species.
