Save Social - Wie bekommen wir ein besseres Netz?

Die "Save Social"-Initiative sprach vielen aus der Seele, dass wir uns bessere Soziale Medien (zurück)wünschen. Wo sind wir gelandet und wie bekommen wir gemeinwohlorientiertere Öffentlichkeiten, die nicht in der Hand einzelner Milliardäre und ihrer politischen Agenden sind?

Ich finde solche Initiativen eigentlich total klasse.

Was ich noch ausbaufähig finde, ist, dass die Diskussion nicht mehr so sehr auf Twitter verengt geführt wird. Die Social-Media-Welt besteht nicht nur aus 𝕏, sondern aus vielen anderen Plattformen, die die Daten ihrer Nutzenden auf viel krassere Art ausschlachten und monetarisieren.

Global Outrage Erupts over US Aggression against Iranian Nuclear Sites tn.ai/3340616

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Should Be Ended

In the early evening of April 4, 1968, a gunshot rang-out in the Memphis sky. It immediately shattered the peace and quiet of an otherwise uneventful day at the Lorraine Motel, and soon after, the peace of an entire country.

The death of Martin Luther King Jr., at the hands of James Earl Ray, brought about a period of unrest and Black violence that . . . theoccidentalobserver.net/2019…

Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E…

Now with the US getting itself dragged into another Iraq style war by Israel, Ukraine could suffer in two major ways:

  1. Western military aid will be cut short in favor of Israel and US
  2. The rising energy prices will lead to Russia's strained warchest to replenish and could even lead to EU countries easing sanctions to buy oil and gas from Russia again.

Ukraine is being played by the US and Israel but either plays along because Zelensky is high on Zionism or because Ukraine by now is owned by the US and he has to say everything Trump wants him to say. Either way this is bad for the Ukrainian people and it is delusional to think that anyone in the West would feel emboldened now to bomb Russia.

This is clear whataboutism. Iran and Israel can both be bad. Ukraine wants max pressure on the Russian war machine. So they cheer the weakening of a Russian military supplier. They also probably figure that if America is itching to fight again, it might as well help them out. They also probably sense the news cycle further shifting away from Ukraine and are trying to bring themselves into the conversation.

I approve of this message.

Trump loves saying 'You're fired.' Now he's making it easier to fire federal workers


The Trump administration's plans to convert some 50,000 civil servants into at-will employees has some worried that essential government functions will be politicized.

Wham! - Last Christmas (Official Video)


Lyrics
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love. You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I gave you my heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special

Special
Someone
Someone
I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special

Who give me something in return
I'll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone special

Gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone—

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it away

I'll give it to someone—
I'll give it to someone—

US farmers face a tough outlook as China's imports of various US agricultural products plummeted in May.

The trade war and China's concerns about the long-term relationship with the US could have deep implications for global supply chains and the US farm sector.

Capitalism is when the guy who builds a social media app and shares it freely with the world gets next to nothing for their effort while the fascist convicted criminal who uses their work makes billions.

Please, tell me again how capitalism breeds innovation. All it breeds are greedy psychopathic parasites (aka billionaires).

Shenzhen: The Silicon Valley of Hardware (Full Documentary) | Future Cities


Future Cities, a full-length documentary takes us inside the bustling Chinese city of Shenzhen.

We examine the unique manufacturing ecosystem that has emerged, gaining access to the world’s leading hardware-prototyping culture whilst challenging misconceptions from the west. The film looks at how the evolution of “Shanzhai” – or copycat manufacturing – has transformed traditional models of business, distribution and innovation, and asks what the rest of the world can learn from this so-called “Silicon Valley of hardware".

@shannonkay Well, if you want to, Kitten’s pretty much ready to play with today (kitten.small-web.org). The bits that aren’t ready yet are the Small Web hosting service for deployment (although if you make anything you want to deploy, I’d be happy to do so for you on small-web.org and/or, of course you can deploy on any VPS, etc., yourself, and the peer-to-peer social web app built with Kitten.

Reminder: The web you might miss of the 1990s or 20'00s is still out there!
So I feel no reason to miss it!

Its just that now these cottages lie within the shadow of corporate skyscrapers which dominate the skyline.

For all the vilification "the deep web" gets (not that there's a clear demarcation), I see most of the harm lying on the surface!

Empire is losing the narrative and its grip on the masses.

Empire always pairs physical war with media propaganda campaigns.

And right now, the propaganda is propaganda-ing.

The toxic and manipulative abuser (i.e. United States Empire) will go to any lengths to try to maintain control and possession. Fortunately, more people in the imperial core are recognizing this.

Americans don't want Trump's war


Donald Trump has dragged the United States into another unnecessary war because his “America First” agenda is failing at home. He is using big bombs like a little man.
