Nous sommes au mois du Busard...

(pour comprendre, il faut avoir lu l'article sur l'An 07, et téléchargé ce magnifique calendrier, librement téléchargeable et imprimable. :)

Nous avons renommé « busard » le mois de septembre. Il s’inscrit dans le calendrier écologique révolutionnaire qu’a imaginé Reporterre, pour repenser notre passage du temps à l’aune d’un autre rapport au vivant. Voici une présentation non exhaustive des évènements et penseurs célébrés en busard. Ce mois est, en leur honneur, décrété « mois de la convivialité ».

A quotation from Bronowski, Jacob

What we really mean by free will, of course, is the visualizing of alternatives and making a choice between them. In my view, which not everyone shares, the central problem of human consciousness depends on this ability to imagine.

Jacob Bronowski (1908-1974) Polish-English humanist and mathematician
The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination, ch. 1 “The Mind as an Instrument for Understanding” (1978)

Ich kann da nichts schlimmes empfinden. Wer einmal von Apfel der Weisheit gebissen hat, wird immer wieder zurück kommen.
Aber im Ernst. Die Nutzenden entscheiden sich irgendwann für eine der Plattformen, die am Besten zu ihnen passen. Das ist einfach so. Daher ist der Gedanke der Föderation so wichtig, in dem die verschiedenen Produkte/Projekte/Protokolle miteinander sprechen (das Fediverse ist dabei nur ein Teilaspekt)

The Great Fediverse Exodus: What's Really Happening?Yes, you read that right. While the overall numbers might suggest growth, a deeper look reveals a worrying trend: the monthly active users on the Fediverse have plummeted to half of what they once were. Even the big profiles are feeling the pinch with dwindling interactions. Could it be that the Fediverse honeymoon is over?

Meanwhile, Twitter/X is seeing a resurgence. More and more users are flocking back, reigniting the platform with a surge of interactions. Is this the beginning of the end for the Fediverse, or just a bump in the road?

Let’s hear your thoughts!

BlablaCar pas écolo
Ah enfin un article pertinent dézinguant la plateforme de covoiturage qui monopolise l'usage fRançais du partage de trajet ! Depuis le temps qu'elle m'énervait... La conclusion me plaît beaucoup : "On ne peut pas laisser une entreprise privée, dictée par des impératifs financiers, organiser le covoiturage. Je crois beaucoup à la possibilité de faire d’une plateforme de covoiturage un bien commun, non lucratif, sur laquelle les usagers aient leur mot à dire, ainsi que les pouvoirs publics. Il suffit de réquisitionner Blablacar. Il nous faut créer une dynamique dans ce sens, j’ai l’intuition qu’on pourrait être nombreux."

/e/OS un Android dégoogelisé – Gaël Duval – e Foundation & MURENA

illustration

Créer un OS Android libre, degoogelisé et respectueux de la vie privée ? C’est le pari lancé par Gaël Duval !

Dans cette interview, nous abordons avec lui la création du projet, la structuration entre société et association, le modèle économique ainsi que les relations de /e/OS avec son écosystème logiciel. Nous parlons aussi des relation avec les fabricants de téléphone, en particulier Fairphone, et de la création de leur propre ligne de produits, mais aussi des différentes modalités du support logiciel et matériel.

Hope in Common
#DAVIDGRAEBER

..."Hopelessness isn’t natural. It needs to be produced.... a vast apparatus of armies, prisons, police, various forms of private security firms and police and military intelligence apparatus, propaganda engines of every conceivable variety, most of which do not attack #alternatives directly so much as they create a pervasive climate of #fear, jingoistic conformity, and simple despair that renders any thought of changing the world seem an idle fantasy. Maintaining this apparatus seems even more important, to exponents of the “free market,” even than maintaining any sort of viable #market #economy. How else can one explain, for instance, what happened in the former Soviet Union, where one would have imagined the end of the Cold War would have led to the dismantling of the army and KGB and rebuilding the factories, but in fact what happened was precisely the other way around? This is just one extreme example of what has been happening everywhere. Economically, this apparatus is pure dead weight; all the guns, surveillance cameras, and #propaganda engines are extraordinarily expensive and really produce nothing, and as a result, it’s dragging the entire #capitalist system down with it, and possibly, the earth itself.
...
our perceptions having been twisted into knots by decades of relentless propaganda, we are no longer able to see them. Consider here the term “communism.” Rarely has a term come to be so utterly reviled. The standard line, which we accept more or less unthinkingly, is that communism means state control of the economy, and this is an impossible utopian dream because history has shown it simply “doesn’t work.” Capitalism, however unpleasant, is thus the only remaining option. But in fact communism really just means any situation where people act according to the principle of “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs” — which is the way pretty much everyone always act if they are working together to get something done. If two people are fixing a pipe and one says “hand me the wrench,” the other doesn’t say, “and what do I get for it?”(That is, if they actually want it to be fixed.) This is true even if they happen to be employed by Bechtel or Citigroup. They apply principles of communism because it’s the only thing that really works. This is also the reason whole cities or countries revert to some form of rough-and-ready communism in the wake of natural disasters, or economic collapse (one might say, in those circumstances, markets and hierarchical chains of command are luxuries they can’t afford.) The more creativity is required, the more people have to improvise at a given task, the more egalitarian the resulting form of communism is likely to be: that’s why even Republican computer engineers, when trying to innovate new software ideas, tend to form small democratic collectives. It’s only when work becomes standardized and boring — as on production lines — that it becomes possible to impose more authoritarian, even fascistic forms of communism. But the fact is that even private companies are, internally, organized communistically.

Communism then is already here. The question is how to further democratize it. Capitalism, in turn, is just one possible way of managing communism — and, it has become increasingly clear, rather a disastrous one. Clearly we need to be thinking about a better one: preferably, one that does not quite so systematically set us all at each others’ throats.
...
at the very least we can start with a pledge against #evictions: to pledge, #neighborhood by neighborhood, to support each other if any of us are to be driven from our homes. The power is not just that to challenge regimes of debt is to challenge the very fiber of #capitalism — its moral foundation — now revealed to be a collection of broken promises — but in doing so, to create a new one. A debt after all is only that: a promise, and the present world abounds with promises that have not been kept. ... the promise offered by capitalism — that we could live like kings if we were willing to buy stock in our own collective subordination. All of this has come crashing down. What remains is what we are able to promise one another. Directly.

Without the mediation of economic and political bureaucracies. The revolution begins by asking: what sort of promises do free men and women make to one another, and how, by making them, do we begin to make another world?"...
