We shouldn't need platforms owned by the biggest losers on the planet to live happy, healthy, connected lives. Our fledgling network of technologists and organisers aims to make tech billionaires obsolete by co-creating our own means of production. gfsc.community/our-plan-to-...

Working in tech is weird and wobbly right now. So this month I joined a tech union. Maybe you should too? #uxdesign #techjobs #holdsteady

No Palantir in the NHS and Corporate Watch reveal the real story behind Palantir's NHS data platform rolllout in a NEW REPORT out now! corporatewatch.org/foi-requests... #NoPalantirintheNHS @medact.bsky.social @justtreatment.org @goodlawproject.bsky.social @foxglovelegal.bsky.social

GFSC are a collective imagining hopeful post-billionaire technology and finding scraps of pleasure in a crumbled social order. Read about our new plans and support our tentative (but necessary) optimism in an update from founder @kim.town. gfsc.community/the-future-o...

How do we cultivate infrastructures of solidarity with each other? Join us in September to explore grassroots ways of building independent tools outside techno-capitalism in Solidarity Infrastructures, taught online by Meghna Mahadevan, @notplants.bsky.social & hushpuppie io ༻ Apply @ sfpc.study

Most communities have zero experience or capital to self host anything. That's why they all end up on discord. What are we doing to fix that? What if your community could pool storage to self host it's own images? What if the network of compute that runs the service was maintained cooperatively?

Thank you to the great Colorado-founded @catalyst.coop for this deep-dive on worker co-op management & governance!  And thank you GEO Collective for publishing: geo.coop/articles/wha...

To the folks who insist worker ownership isn't compatible with "human nature"—we have empirical research over decades that shows the exact opposite. Worker ownership and participation are linked to increases in satisfaction and productivity. Psychological ownership is a real, studied phenomenon.

Great piece of clear writing on organising from Geeks for Social Change, from political to community activities. Worth a read for anyone in an activist organiser capacity. kim.town/minimum-viab...

Hi folks, we've received feedback about the pricing for our docs.coop hosting. We've decided to drop the price to £30/mo for a small Docs instance. This comes with an SSO provider (such as Keycloak or Authentik). Hit us up at [email protected] if need help deGoogling your office suite!

Hm. A "proof of concept" pull request that adds "preliminary ActivityPub support" to Bluesky. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/3943 Screenshots via https://bsky.app/profile/distraction.engineer/post/3lql7jiqaac2a #bluesky #fediverse #socialmedia

One of our fellow worker co-ops @autonomic.zone have developed a new collaborative document platform as alternative to Google, Microsoft etc - check it out docs.coop

What a great list! I’d also add the excellent resources by radhr.org

We're thrilled to announce our new project: docs.coop! Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (docs.numerique.gouv.fr), we're offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.

Modern computing is made possible by anarchist organizing. Free software runs the planet, and it's organized by anarchism. Anarchy works, the proof is all around you.

excited to share the third round of class projects from solidarity infrastructures: from local archives of neighborhood street art, to an rfc for maintenance dinners, to a self-hosted signal directory, and many other experiments and reflections on servers and infrastructure infrastructures.us/e...
