@wxl @h @fabianhjr As far as I am concerned, "anarcho"-capitalism and capitalist "libertarianism" is nothing but plutocratism.
@fabianhjr @risabee Anarcho-syndicalism is a bottom-up, horizontally scalable way of practical organization of/for anarchists (as in libertarian socialists).
Hey, so my husband got his lay-off notice today. He was the brewer at Mendocino Brewing Company.
Do any of you socialists know how to put together a worker's coop? Because it is absolutely ridiculous that the brewery is standing on one side of a locked door, and everyone who knows how to brew and bottle beer is on the other.
There is something inherently broken and deeply dangerous for society in the way #Facebook and #Google work.
But I don't share the author's notion that this could be reliably changed. We need to come back to #decentralized tools. They are what made Internet succesful and they would protect us. On so many levels.

@FuckOffGoogle
Couldn't be here, but I think that some folks will be presenting our last 3 years works with:
* https://ungooglize.org (32 alternative services to Google and co)
* https://chatons.org (a collective of 50 organizations providing ethical alternative services to GAFAM)
* https://contributopia.org/en/home
* https://framatube.org/#en (alternative to youtube based on peertube)
But we will be at FOSDEM to present all this projects (that will be translated at this time).
You know books, movies, research papers, images or articles critical of Google, investigating their functioning and practices?
Please contribute them to our wiki!

Does anyone know of a FLOSS 2D CAD application that features (dimensioned) rulers?
LibreCAD, SolveSpace, and PythonCAD all seem to be lacking in that regard.
#Google plans to implant a "Google campus" in #Kreuzberg, #Berlin.
A group of spot-on people say "fuck off, Google."
Oh man, I love it when EFF gets philosophical: "DRM gets made over the course of years, by skilled engineers, at a cost of millions of dollars. It gets broken in days, by teenagers, with hobbyist equipment. That's not because the DRM-makers are stupid, it's because they're doing something stupid.”
(Also this is a terrifyingly good article: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/drms-dead-canary-how-we-just-lost-web-what-we-learned-it-and-what-we-need-do-next)
Don't Teach Students To Use Proprietary Software!!
You Are Only Teaching Them To Be Dependent On Their Oppression!
UBI is a corrective measure for (redistribution of wealth) for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place (horrendous inequality). Saying this , I would still support UBI for the time being.
The publicness of the server code is of questionable value, since independent implementations tend to be actively resisted.

@Gargron @BryanLunduke @sillystring @gabriele
because it's pointless to develope free software if society can't be free.
#Fascism is based on opression. Anti-fascism is about to counter this opression.
I mean what are you doing here in #mastodon if you're not in favour of free software and free society?
The animal liberation movement is rapidly growing, and I'm concerned that leftists are brushing it aside. Not only is it our most surefire way out of impending ecological disaster, it is such an obvious requirement for achieving a upotic anarchist/communist world where there is no class or hierarchy. Animals are sentient; accept it. They have their own unique experiences, just like we do. They too deserve to be free.
