@aral Yes @Layan2002's right with the detail and so...

IDEA: Someone of reputation could launch their own respectful token (not currency but as #gift #exchange) as we agree most '#money' starts with nothing, #trust, or a #loan (coins / paper feel heavy as a material but useful when they can be exchanged) so why not #AralBalkan / a clever person to do the same, since we agree it can be made of nothing but by our respect for their work? And it's not for replacing all #Banks either.

Hmm...

@aurion Hi,

I can't seem to download the video - goes to a nginx permission denied page.

3 links below are to the same video - none of them work when clicking to download:

Any idea how to download #AralBalkan's #EU speech ? Thanks

In a groundbreaking revelation, Aral Balkan unveils the revolutionary concept of... using IP addresses, because domains are just so last century! 🌐✨ Apparently, the "Small Web" is about to make a big splash (or maybe just a ripple) with its dazzling #innovation of... personal websites. 🙄💻

Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing. And the design of the Small Web will be changing along with it. IP addresses are about to make a comeback on the web in a big (ok, small) way, thanks to upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses by Let’s Encrypt.

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: Moving beyond the clouds (we need an ethical approach to design)

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

(Needless to say that, no, I did not embark on a solo sailing journey from Ireland to Portugal in 2018 and get shipwrecked in the Atlantic.)

"The way we practice design today is colonial. It is no different than the ethnographer hiding behind their camouflaged screen, watching the natives."

Ethnography, and anthropology in general, does have a dark past. But AFAIK ethnography is observing as a participant, not hiding in the bushes.
