As we move deeper into the 2nd quarter of the 21st century, it does not remotely look like the tech utopia we were once promised.
The blueprint for humane and sustainable societies is still theoretical, still waiting for aspirational words to translate into actions, inventions, realizations...
The US and China have claimed their respective niches, the question is what the rest of the world (and in particular Europe) will do (if anything).

#HumaneTech community posted a more elaborate infocard on the need for #FOSS projects to 🪙 pay more attention to their #FSDL in ways that'll easily get their #ROI in terms of 💎 #commons value.
Just spending a little extra #FSDL time 🪙🪙 investment may often yield a great Return on Involvement. In other words they are no-brainers, really low-hanging fruits in common terminology.

It began with a comment: a fellow disabled person calling my use of AI "disgusting" and "grift-tech," as if the digital tools that help me think are a betrayal rather than a lifeline. To them, prompting an AI is like pulling a slot lever—a mindless act of consumption. But
AI is a vital tool for disabled individuals like me, not a threat to authenticity. It eases the burden of masking, letting my true ideas shine. It defends my dignity in a system that values only 'human capital'—my digital paintbrush, still wielded by me.

AI is a tool that can be used to assist us, rather than an external intruder. I utilise it to uphold my dignity in the face of ableism and capitalism. Being authentic involves relying on one's own strength rather than adopting a false persona. AI is intended to support us,
[Opinion] Sovereignty was once exclusive to the powerful—governments, billionaires, and elites controlling the rules. Add "Social" and everything shifts.

In the old world of Web 2.0, "Social Media" changed the flow of content. We moved from one-way broadcasting (TV, newspapers) to a "two-way" street where users created the content. Social Sovereignty is the same evolution, but for power. From "One-Way" Power to "Mutual Responsibility" Sovereignty used to be

My manifesto challenges the capitalist pursuit of extrinsic value, which feels like a maze. True freedom lies in defining our worth through connection and authenticity, not money or continuous exponential growth.

Executive Summary: The "Freedom by Dying" Paradox There is a satirical article circulating online titled "Wow: This Man Finally Achieved Financial Freedom By Dying." It tells the story of a man who escaped his debts not by paying them, but by ceasing to exist. We laugh because it is funny;
