- I also serve our English masters, I keep their precious trains running
- Are you happy keeping their trains running?
- Happy? I don't know, but I'm good at it.
- I dream of hunting in this jungle of metal and asphalt. I imagine my true form leaping from beam to ledge to terrace roof until I am at the top of this island. Until I can growl in the faces of all the men who believe they can own me.

yes, please take over this shitshow, don't trust anyone over 20.
"“Why don’t we radically reimagine school? When they say we are ‘behind,’ we are ‘behind’ what? All of this stuff is made up,” said Judai Smith, a senior at Kenwood Academy in Chicago. “We could literally change education. What is the stuff that we really need? What is the stuff that is actually going to help us grow?”"

@xiroux interesante pregunta :) hasta el momento yo diría que tiene que ver con qué puede implicar ir lento, hacer fricción, ser no productive; renunciar a la vida que los grandes medios e ideologías nos proponen, pero sin tener que "irse a una cabaña en el bosque".
a pesar del nombre "how to" no es un recetario: a propósito divaga, se desvía por tangentes, no da fórmulas.
esta plática alguna vez la compartieron por acá y me fue invitando a querer conocerlo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dveUrpp6vs8

If you dig into the files leaked by Edward Snowden, there's a British Powerpoint presentation called "The Art of Deception" which includes using UFOs to deceive and misdirect the public away from the real secret programs.
And they mention that such conspiracy thinking is so vital to the human mind that civilians convinced of the deception cannot be swayed out of it by the actual facts because they have placed personal value onto their beliefs as the one who knows "the truth".

Apple, Facebook, Slack, Telegram, Discord, Signal, etc. are not your friends. They demand all communications happen in -their- systems.
Ask real friends to move to platforms that give -you- control of your freedom and privacy.
I recommend Element.

How much creativity is stifled because it cannot be expressed profitably? Capitalist system is not just cruel, but it also limits the potential of human expression, which is literally the only thing that creative endeavours are concerned with. https://drewdevault.com/2021/12/23/Sustainable-creativity-post-copyright.html

The only good future is decentralized or distributed. If we allow everything to be centralized for the sake of convenience, or whatever, then the same dynamics of colonialism will play out as did in the physical economy. Colonialism may be efficient under some very narrowly defined metric, like profit, but it is not ethical.

This toot got several "the war over the word '#hacker' is lost" replies, so I need to respond to it more generally.
Thankfully, I have a FAQ about it, since I encounter it so often:
https://rys.io/en/155.html#isnt-the-fight-for-this-word-already-lost-wouldnt-it-be-easier-to-just-find-a-new-word-for-this-community
tl;dr:
1. Whichever other word we choose and fail to defend, is going to be abused; see: "hacktivist". I draw the line on "hacker".
2. LGBTQ+ community reclaimed the f-word, African-American community -- the n-word; it *can* be done.
3. Nobody gets to tell me what I can call myself, and what that means.
