"Family holiday?" 🤔

Defender of #Mariupol and father of five, #Viktor_Dmytrenko, has returned from his second #Russian captivity.

He was first captured back in 2014 after the battles for #Ilovaisk, where he spent nearly five months as a prisoner.

Before the war, #Viktor worked for 14 years as a crane operator at the #Illich Iron and Steel Works. After his first captivity, he decided not to return to his civilian job

“[…] Cayley’s perspectivist interpretation of Illich shows its main weakness. Since Cayley reads #Illich from the 1990s backwards, he emphasizes the later disillusioned Illich over the more optimistic Illich from the 1970s […]

The optimistic Illich of the 1970s seems more effective. In those years, Illich still believed that not yet industrialized popular cultures and digital technologies could foster new commons.

People with similar interests could – over the computer, for example – establish study groups for independent research.”

"Illich’s thesis is that technology and its derived tools should serve people in a way that enhances their freedom, creativity, independence, and will.

The distillation of those principles on the web through manual code, hand-built social networks, and blogs, points luminously to one answer to the question of how the Internet can best serve humans:

La #contreproductivité de la bureaucratie d'#Illich illustrée : après avoir laborieusement décroché un stage d'observation (aka d'#immersionprofessionnelle) en hôpital:
* l'#APEC refuse de signer le cerfa (juridiquement approved, en bonne est due forme) en invoquant la modernisation des procédures administratives
* et le centre hospitalier refuse de signer électroniquement, pour des raisons pratiques que je comprends
