As long as the weather cooperates, I’ll be pulling my kids out of school next Monday to drive east into the path of totality during the solar eclipse.
Do you have #eclipse plans?
It is a super hot topic here in Ohio. Totality passes over my house!
There are LOTS of naysayers in the crowd, though. During a meeting yesterday, someone mentioned that the weather was going to be bad, so they are moving it south a few miles. I thought that was the greatest thing i've yet heard.
I am taking the day off, and tyring to get a pass to get to the top of the library of our local university.
There is no democracy without a commons.
This week I am grateful to be discussing #GovernableSpaces on the Frontiers of Commoning podcast with one of my heroes, David Bollier: bollier.org/blog/nathan-schnei…
David's books are a phenomenal intro to the power and craft of commoning.
Also get him to join the fediverse on a nice instance and send my greetings, please.
We're close to finished publishing the patterns in French at languedespatterns.commoning.wi… and there's work in the horizon for debating commoning in times of platform cooperativism and capitalism platform.commoning.wiki
Both may be part of an educational project in the next year with Remix the Commons.
@boris also suggested to look at what is to be protocol commoning.

Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

AI hallucinates software packages and devs download them – even if potentially poisoned with malware
Simply look out for libraries imagined by ML and make them real, with actual malicious code. No wait, don't do thatThomas Claburn (The Register)
BAM! Let's put this bill over the line!
It’s time to give Australian courts the power to break up big firms that behave badly
"The so-called Competition and Consumer Amendment (Divestiture Powers) Bill would enable courts to break up firms that misuse their substantial market power under section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act."
It’s time to give Australian courts the power to break up big firms that behave badly
US courts have had the power to break up badly behaving corporations for more than a century. There’s a bill before the Australian Senate that would give our courts the same power.The Conversation

Have you done any testing to ensure the apps you proclaimed so proudly in the past haven't been made abandonware by your inability to stabilize and standardize app interfaces? Your existing users are still sad that you broke PicoCMS, News, Social apps, and more, by your negligence in previous versions. Are you doing better this time?
Will we ever be able to use those abandonware apps again, or are they useless forever now?
