Sharing a statement from Merdeka West Papua Support Network about the ongoing crackdown of police against West Papuan activists.
#WestPapua is a region in #Indonesia--a country that's currently experiencing a nationwide riot.
The Merdeka West Papua Support Network strongly condemns the ongoing crackdown on democracy activists in Papua, today, Wednesday, 27 August, in the town of Sorong, following the unlawful transfer of four Papuan political prisoners to Makassar District Court — a clear violation of Article 85 of Indonesia’s Criminal Procedure Code.

Das Bild zeigt ein verlassenes, verfallenes Zimmer in Schwarz-Weiß. Die Wände sind mit abblätternder Farbe und verwittertem Putz bedeckt, was auf Vernachlässigung hinweist. Auf der rechten Wand ist eine Mischung aus Graffiti und Wandverkleidung zu sehen. Die Worte "LOVE IS THE WAY" sind in großen Buchstaben geschrieben, und daneben ist eine einfache Zeichnung eines Kindes mit einem Korb in der Hand. Auf der linken Wand befindet sich eine Tür mit einer Graffiti-Figur, die ein Gesicht und eine Strichmuster-Kleidung zeigt. Über der Tür hängt ein kleines, offenes Regal mit einem Bild. Der Boden ist schmutzig und uneben, was zur Gesamtkluft des Raumes beiträgt.

L'immagine mostra una persona in un abito medievale, probabilmente un personaggio di un'opera teatrale o un evento storico. Indossa una lunga tunica nera con ricami dorati e un cappello con una piuma bianca. La persona tiene in mano un rotolo di pergamena, suggerendo un ruolo di autorità o un personaggio importante. La scena si svolge in un'area pavimentata con un'illuminazione focale che mette in risalto la figura centrale. Sullo sfondo, si vedono altre persone in abiti medievali, che sembrano essere parte dello stesso evento. La parete di pietra alle spalle della persona aggiunge un tocco storico all'ambiente.

Bello! Finalmente uno dei “Nodi” di Zona42 che mi è piaciuto! Un'unica nota: il titolo della versione originale “Sword & Spore” era più ficcante, anche se pure “MYCELIUM” non mi dispiace.

in one hand, I don't think this is a good idea but in the other hand, for countries like the UK the military was two times the solution of a problem. In Germany it was the root cause. The militarism of our forefathers was feared in Europe.
So, out stance toward military including our own is difficult as hell.

If I ran Bluesky..
If I were running Bluesky I’d have a quiet project to make a lite Bluesky server that peers with the mother ship, highly factored, in a Node package, open source of course. Get this snake oil phase behind them, where they’re claiming to be decentralized, but aren’t.

i want to be able to build on whatever they ship, or bake it into one of my projects.
that suggests not doing docker, doing a package.
#Bluesky has muddied the waters to decentralization with how complicated they’ve made #ATproto.

Great point! The reason that #Bluesky doesn't make it easy to set up alternative fully independent instances is because it would undermine their hegemony over the protocol. They want their cake (claiming decentralization) and to to eat it to (effectively being centralized) because that is what is necessary for their valuation to attract investors.

Mastodon Migration reshared this.
As you say, they could easily set up showcase quasi-independent instances to prove the decentralizability of ATProto. They could package toolkits to make it easy for others to do so. The fact they don't do these things speaks volumes about their true intent.

Great point! Had not thought of this.
And a corollary... When your business model is collecting data on all of the users you are incentivised to collect it from as many users as possible. When you don't collect data, your incentive is simply to spread the cost as you point out.

I'll be honest, I used this store three months ago, and the most polite compliment I can provide is that it "technically works". It's extremely barebones in its current state. IE the bare minimum for a functional app store is the install button, and that does function. But that's pretty much all the thing it has, at least from a user point of view.
I mean, it's a shame that its future is in question, but you know... Spilled milk and all.
Hosts proprietary apps, no thank you, and does not allow for third party repositories, so if they are told to take down an app, there is no recourse.
