My day job is recruiting more #Python Developers (remote, but you must be in the UK).

We're a worker co-operative of ~20 people working on data infrastructure/standards for social good. E.g. locations of backbone fibre infrastructure, improving government decision making, and data about charitable grants.

https://opendataservices.coop/careers/python-developer/ open until 6pm BST 12th April.

**Meet-up invitation**

On Monday (06.04) I leave the arctic for a two-week train trip to Oslo, south Sweden, and possibly Denmark & Germany.

I'd love to meet up with folks doing radical stuff in the spaces of
- digital self-determination through collective action (hosting co-ops focused on serving individuals and organizations, digital independence days, commons-developing software)
- grassroots economic organizing (workers' unions, workers' co-operatives, housing co-operatives)
- hacking for good
- anti-authoritarian left / anarchism

If you're doing any of that, I'd love to grab a club mate or beer with you and hear the details, and share what I'm involved with as well. Let's build international solidarity.
Send me a message here, on matrix (@papiris:data.coop), or via email (jacob [at] kollektiv.email).

Also, if you know of nice hidden (no-pay) places to put up my hammock for the night, or would like to lend me your sofa, that'd be lovely.

(also I'm low on funds, so donations towards train tickets and food are welcome)

**About me**

Involved in organizing grass roots democratizing of digital infrastructure, particularly in Norway; among other things through https://datakollektivet.no.
Member of a new tech workers' co-op which helps movement organizations in Norway move away from big tech. We're keen on inter-cooperation. I'm involved in solidarity work. Organizing with workers' movement and left-wing political movement.
I'm a bit under 30 years old. I present mostly masculine, but any pronouns are fine. I live on a farm with horses, sheep, dogs, hens and a cat.

I did a journey like this one last year, RE:https://hachyderm.io/@papiris/114668920852221487

“On #May1 on #MayDay we are saying, ‘No business as usual, No work, no school, no shopping. We’re going to show up and say we’re putting workers over billionaires and kings.”

#GeneralStrike #LabourMovement #MayDay2026 #NoKings #Organize #Solidarity

"On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping."

I would also add: No #War No #Imperialism #No Genocide All of our organizing should reflect a commitment to #international #Solidarity. Our struggle for freedom has to be rooted in our understanding that we've been on the wrong side. It's time to fix this. We have to disrupt #Capitalism. They have to learn that we're done cooperating with our own subjugation and the subjugation of the rest of the world in our name and in the name of #empire.

We've gotten a start organizing for our event in rural #Missouri

The music streaming industry presents itself as a modern marvel of digital convenience. And it is that. But beneath the surface lies a system that mirrors the worst aspects of platform capitalism - without even the trickle.

The streaming model concentrates revenue at the top of the distribution curve, extracts value from the workers who generate it, and redistributes that value to shareholders who contribute capital but not creative labour. Cooperatives don't fix this by being 'nicer'. They fix it by changing who owns the infrastructure and who makes the decisions about how it operates. This is the oldest insight of the cooperative tradition. It still holds.

The Pack was built on the premise that the antidote to extractive platform capitalism isn't a better-designed version of the same thing. It's a different model with a different ownership structure and different answers to the question of whose interests the platform was built to serve.
