It's September 17, the anniversary of the start of Occupy Wall Street—a protest movement that, with each passing year, fewer of my students remember. So I wrote a book: ntnsndr.in/books/thank-you-ana…

Google and Microsoft recently admitted their emissions are soaring as they build out data centers to power the AI boom.
But new analysis from The Guardian suggests the data center emissions of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple are 662% higher than the companies reporting.

Initial temperature check for #Socialcoop members:
What would you think of enabling members to have [user].social.coop as their handles for Bluesky?
This would require no data storage or throughput from us, just a DNS record: bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-20…
How to set your domain as your handle - Bluesky
Using a domain as your handle helps with account identity, verification, and portability. Here's how to set your domain as your handle.Bluesky
- Love it, I would use it (16%, 2 votes)
- Fine, I guess (58%, 7 votes)
- I have reservations (reply below) (8%, 1 vote)
- Definitely not (16%, 2 votes)
My own perspective is that I think this could be a low-hanging way for Social.coop to become cross-platform and to explore what it means to have a cooperative presence on ATProto/Bluesky. It would also advertise our collective existence there.
Personally, not sure I'd use it, as I already use my personal domain (@ntnsndr.in) on Bluesky.
I gave a talk** at Berlin Fediday this weekend entitled A Bigger, Better Fediverse. I talked about what has been happening on the Fediverse in terms of growth, but also what’s been improving in terms of trust and safety. I also talk about why these two dimensions go hand-in-hand, and how we can’t have one without the other.

** Almost. There were technical issues, so I had to record the talk and then upload it. All the better for you!

💬 Share your thoughts and let us know what you think!
Love how you're making the videos available on a decentralized, community-run platform like Peertube, in alignment with your stated values!
Even better is how you've continued to engage with the community on this issue rather than just ignoring it and funneling users onto centralized surveillance platforms like YouTube! Way to go!
...Right?
#Nextcloud #Hub9 #Peertube #Youtube #FOSS #Google #Privacy #Decentralization
Why did you mention the "Nextcloud Social" app as an example of your commitment to the values of decentralization and federation, when you made it into abandonware by changing app interfaces and destroying it with a Nextcloud upgrade?
That sends the opposite message: that you hate decentralized and federated services, and that if anyone tries to integrate any social or federated apps with Nextcloud, you will destroy their hard work.
A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.
