I warmly advise everyone to register for free half-day firefighting training anywhere. Any fire security representative anywhere will tell you that we need way more people that know what to do in case of fire, and how to spray an extinguisher, obvi.

    IMHO absolutely no debate around the necessity for violence. You don't bring someone back down the social ladder by gently explaining to them the importance of giving up on their privilege.

    But there is still the mecessity to write history. We need to justify the necessary violence, in our own eyes. Because it helps measure the exact amount necessary, and fine tune the approach.

    I like the idea of bringing these a-holes to psychiatric wards rather than prisons. I hate prisons and I like to take care of people. I'd love us to design whole therapies and cures and experiments to exorsize the necro-capitalism out of them.

    Showerthought: Could we portray ultrarich capitalists as helpless slave to wealth reproduction, mentally diminished by the obvious sickness brought upon them by capital accumulation, so that we can build a medical argument of care to "save" them by nationalizing the stolen means of production? I mean "it is a terrible necessity and a moral obligation".

    It is it is, that's the whole point of municipalism and things like bioregionalist anarchism. But there are stronger factors to mobilizing. Imagine a synchronized mob of 50 persons in each county. Also, France is a country built as a basic centralized system where all roads of transportation and communication lead to Paris. So, yeah, sure, but also absolutely not.

    How an artificial intelligence (as in large language model based generative AI) could be better for information access and retrieval than an encyclopedia with a clean classification model and a search engine?

    If we add a step of processing -- where a genAI "digests" perfectly structured data and tries, as bad as it can, to regurgitate things it doesn't understand -- aren't we just adding noise?

    I'm talking about the specific use-case of "draw me a picture explaining how a pressure regulator works", or "can you explain to me how to code a recursive pattern matching algorithm, please".

    I also understand how it can help people who do not want or cannot make the effort to learn an encyclopedia's classification plan, or how a search engine's syntax work.

    But on a fundamental level, aren't we just adding an incontrolable step of noise injection in a decent time-tested information flow?

     

    Self-hosting services has been a life-changer. And I thank this community for helping me a lot recently. Not only did I learn a lot more about linux, network and docker, but it helped me understand better how platforms and advertising just f*cked up the internet I grew up with.

    But I wonder: do any of you hate how self-hosting services like photo- or document-management systems, or even a simple rss tool, forces you to sort your stuff out, and put your decades old files in order?!

    I'm in the process of migrating my web browser bookmarks to linkding because it's a GREAT tool. But I have like 2k websites to manualy check wether they're still there, wonder at how cool they still are, tag properly and archive with SingleFile!

    And that's just ONE service...
