So stoked to see my group #rtm #resisttechmonopolies mentioned in @TheGuardian about our #DiscoTech parties, inspired by Detroit Community Technology!

Now you can break up with big tech at a bar: ‘cybersecurity disguised as a party’

These digital security organizers bring the fight for online privacy to dance parties, bars and reading groups

Sutton Place was the big gay disco, when I visited Minneapolis in the 1980s.

@douwe absolutely, but in the US many communities and networks are also working on this transition. Just one example are the fine folks of #ResistTechMonopolies @rtm in Seattle. They are a group of former bigtech workers organising knowledge sharing, #DiscoTech to discover the ethical tech alternatives and participating in the @coopcloud federation. They are in the process to set up a multistakeholder cooperative, combining these three traditions. And of course our friends at @mayfirst who need no introduction here.

🚀 Ah, the "Easy" language compiler from 1978: because nothing screams 'modern development' like resurrecting the tech equivalent of a Betamax tape. Who wouldn't want to spend hours navigating #GitHub menus for a tool as cutting-edge as disco shoes? 🕺💾

Allein deswegen ist das #IGF2019 eine gute Sache: Weil am Rand Events wie #DiscoTech von @[email protected]
stattfinden, wo Vandria Borari, indigenous leader from Borari peoples, Pará, Brasilien, erzählt, wie IT indigenen Völkern im Amazonas hilft.
