Ein kleiner Gastauftritte des #fediverse im aktuellen richtig coolen philosophischen Radio (WDR5) zum Thema "Kritik der Digitalisierung" mit Daniel Martin Feige.

"Die Zucchini gibt es nicht, es gibt nur Zeichenfolgen und Zeichengruppen. Menschen tun gut daran nicht alles zu glauben, was sie denken. KI kann weder glauben noch denken"

MediathekDaniel Martin Feige: Kritik der DigitalisierungDie zunehmende Digitalisierung und besonders der Einsatz von KI haben gravierende gesellschaftliche Folgen. Der Philosoph Daniel Martin Feige spricht mit Jürgen Wiebicke über eine grundlegende Kritik der Digitalisierung und die Bedeutung von Kunst.

Friends who are interested in #cooperatives, #commons, and #solidarityeconomy, please make a donation to GEO.coop. I found GEO when I was first learning about solidarity economy, submitted an article or two, and ended up joining the collective. A look at the website shows what a unique independent resource GEO is, covering organizing efforts around the world, sharing the work of leading theorist-practitioners like Jessica Gordon-Nembhard and @luisrazeto . :TwinPines:

#Commoms sind gemeinschaftlich regulierte wirtschaftliche Güter, die in der #Wirtschaft oft künstlich verknappt werden um der Tragik der Allmende zu entgehen. #Olstrom hat gezeigt dass mit gut designten Regularien diese Güter zum Vorteil der #Gemeinschaft organisiert werden können. Insofern würde ich tendenziell manche #Genossenschaften und das #Fediverse als #Commons einstufen, wegen der gemeinschaftlichen Regularien. @commonsnetwork

We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.

We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).

You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.

It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.

This is a strawman.

People are (rightly) upset at billionaries stealing both from the commons and from everybody else.

The problem is that right now #copyright (that backs #copyleft) and #dataprotection (#GDPR and so on...) are the only (weak) shield people have to fight back.

They are in fact too weak.

We need a total ridefinition of #PublicDomain, turing the default to a strongly protected #common that can be used freely but only to produce more content (#software, #art...) under the same public domain regime.

We need to turn unprotected #commons to an exception.

And we need stronger data protection and privacy laws, that grant people the right to be paid for any abuse of their data an exponentially growing amount (say 1€ for the first bit, 2€ for the second, 4€ for the third and so on).

Finally, we need to get rid of billionaries. Hopefully, without too much violence.

I think this is a really cool style, it's simplified and abstract enough to transmit a positive and childlike (?) excitement, and complex enough to celebrate the intelligence and craft, hard work and creativity of this effort.

I think the current thing with billionaires and profit sort of pisses all over the rocket scene, I don't care if they all explode over (or under) the water 😃

TIL via @benwerd that governments in France and Germany (through their 18F equivalents) made an #opensource alternative to Notion/an offline Google Docs docs.numerique.gouv.fr/login/

(IMHO a great publically-funded and maintained #commons project because other private models haven't succeeded… IIRC this is what Sandstorm tried to make a decade ago, before their sunset???)

Für mich eines der wichtigsten und inspirensten Bücher die ich je gelesen habe. In diesem zeitlosen Werk steckt soviel Weisheit, Wissen, Ideen, Erkenntnisse und Hoffnung. Ich kann euch nur dazu ermutigen es zu lesen. Ihr könnt es euch als PDF runterladen. Zudem ist es als offene Rescource unter einer Freien Lizenz veröffentlicht. BY-SA und das war kein Zufall. Also nutzt die Chance.

@zbrando @morrick @ueeu You’re not wrong.

But, looking ahead, we can do so much better than the commercial domain name system.

Commercial domain names are a gold standard example of artificial scarcity. A domain name registrar cost next to nothing to operate. It’s tiny rows of text in a database. It could easily be free to own your own domain name – a huge part of what constitutes identity – on the Internet.

In fact, a non-commercial service has been operational for 24 years. It would be trivial to regulate that browsers in the EU implement support for it and work together with, say, @letsencrypt to ensure it can handle TLS.

That would be an amazing addition to the commons and a future-proof way forward that we could lead on with next to no investment.

"There’s also been an impulse by #creators concerned about #AI to dramatically limit how people can access their work…This too closes off the #commons, making it more challenging or expensive for those “every single human beings” described in #openaccess manifestos to access the material that was originally intended to be #commongoods.

Often by trying to wall off those considered to be bad actors, people wall off the very people they intended to give access to."

"Nick Dunn, a professor of urban design in the United Kingdom, has talked about the idea of 'nocturnal commons' as a way to envision our shared responsibility to maintain night skies as a public good. Whether DarkSky certification will be an effective way of resisting the privatisation of the celestial realm is debatable, given the gulf in power between corporate and community interests.”

"How a network of relationships are allowing us to survive"

This is a 25-minute talk by historian Dipesh Chakrabarty in which he explains why technology today needs to be thought of in terms of survival and participation (in effect, he is talking about convivial technology), and why living well with technology on Earth must first and foremost involve protecting the critical zone (from soil to air) that makes life (human and otherwise), and thus all technology, possible. In the face of a crisis of civilisation, Chakrabarty argues that it is important to rethink technologies by understanding the impact of the general on the local.
