You could do a tricolor of black, green and white and have a shield and lock/key in the style of the communist flag.

Then you have five symbols:

. Freedom/ independence (darkblue)

. Peace/ harmony (white and dove)

. Active defence (shield)

. Security (lock)

. Privacy/ unseenedness (black)

I personally associate freedom with white because its like a piece of unpainted paper. I associate peace with green because it is the color of plants which symbolizes nature.

If I understand security, it is a contrast to the active defence in that it is passive defence. If so, you could possibly play around with how these symbolically relate to each other. For deem looking at them as a two sided unity.

You are a dreamer, and this is exactly what we need. Two hands up for that.

But before designing a flag, we first need to agree on the symbolism.

There are two types of symbols. Anti symbols and pro symbols.

Anti symbols are easier to make, because they comes from reaction. Its easy to see whats wrong. "anarchism is order" and "stop war" stickers are anti symbols.

But pro symbols are harder because they require us to understand what we are fighting for. The rainbow flag and the aboriginal flag are pro flags, because they show what they are fighting for. The rainbow flag fights for diversity, while the aboriginal flag establishes a connection between people, land and the sun.

In short, I believe that a pro symbol would be better for gleedening people into the struggle.

With this in mind, I think we should fundamenrally understand why privacy matters, and make symbols out of that.

I love the puzzle game lumines. Would be delightful to see a commons version of it <3

I tried this, but it didn't work either.

I'm trying to test the software out on localhost, but I get this message. Are there bugs, or am I setting it up with wrong ip/port/anything?

Seems like the webpage is down right now.

Cryptocurrencies are a waste of resources and gives might to those with computing force, that is the mighty.

There is no reason to inbosom it.

Let's rather effort towards moneyless societies.

All Cryptocurrencies Are Bad

Yes, that's a trap. When you make the thing you love into a job. You blur the lines of whether it still is meaningful or something you do because you love it. You are no longer guided the meaningful, but whether your bloodgivers finds it valuable. In smaller and larger ways your path is steered away from the meaningful.

 

We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.

 

Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.

When we talk about free software, we point to transparency, studyability, tinkerability and sharability. The openness to allow ourselves to use our tools with freedom.

However, I do not think we should use the term open source. The reason for my distancing of the word source is because the word makes us think about development instead of the end user. Because if we want these kinds of software to appeal to the masses, we the word to emphasize that it is meant for them. Instead, I would use the term open software, open tool or open machine.

 

English is burdened with a culture that emphasize empirialism, capitalism, individualism and so on. A culture that ignores climate catostraphy, global inequality and brings disproportionate attention to countries with english as national language. Additionally english is the language of Trump, Boris Johnson, Margareth Thatcher and George Bush jr.. Protest the english language by embracing esperanto.

Break language segregation! Today, the world is segregated by language. It is very resource heavy to learn a new ethnic language.

Esperanto is like other constructed languages made to be easy to learn through consistent grammer, phonetics and morphemes. You know how to pronounce a sentence. You can determine the type of word by looking at the last letter. Even if you havent seen a particular word before, the chances are that you can predict its meaning if you know the morphemes. It is estimated that it requires a tenth in time investment to learn esperanto compares to ethnic languages.

The world language is political and it enables english imperialism.

Look up your local esperanto group. Learn it. Talk about it. With collegues, friends, acquantances and family. Engage your local community. Influence!

Some useful resources: Dictionary https://lernu.net/vortaro ActivityPub https://esperanto.masto.host Nice esperanto course: Kurso de Esperanto

 

I experience that my memory is used up on my android phone, but I dont understand what drains the memory.

I only found AnotherMonitor on fdroid, but it doesnt appear to show which app is consuming memory. Only total consumption.

Are there any good apps or solutions for this? Or at least as autonomous slash private as possible.

 

Im interested in cryptos, because it could serve as a foundation for an internet funded by people and communities. A crypto that protects people's privacy and has a low energy cost.

But is this enough to make it ethical? Are there other aspects to take into concideration? Or is ethical cryptos possible?

In particular Im looking into Mobilecoin which Signal has integrated into their app.

Stop it. Just stop.

Why you call it RSS when you could simply have called it syndication? Why call it CEO when you could have called it top chief. You are making your language harder to understand for no good reason. Why call it TLDR when you can call it summary. Like what the fuck...

 

I have a subscription of Family and Friends on the site tab.digital. This would allow me to add apps to my nextcloud. One of the apps I have been most excited about has been the News app, which can administrate open subscription feeds like RSS. However, I have a couple issues.

First of all, I've been notified that the app is unstable on my Family and Friends subscription from a dialogue box. I don't know if that is due to me having the wrong subscription or whether it has to do with the app itself being unstable.

So far I've ignored that warning, because I can risk the service failing. I'll just have to contact the provider to reset in that case.

I have sent an email to the provider, but I expect an response on monday so It's kind of long to wait.

Does anybody have any experience with News app on Nextcloud or with tab.digital?

 

Tabs often gets very cluttered. But I know which tabs that I always want to stay open. Email, social media, RSS feed, messenging. In short navigation tabs where you are only in the home screen.

So when you press a link in the management tab, it is opened in the content window. Or something along those lines. Whaddaya think?
