@mbjunior Video description on how to hack the "Keurig 2.0" (probably not the same machine as you have though, but I guess it's the same principle) by some random otherwise-not-a-hacker person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idviALOvAYY

No further DRM discussion in the video though, except that the consumer was disappointed with Keurig.

A nice article about scientific experiments in sustainable living from the 1970s.

They fizzled out unfortunately, like a lot of sustainability activity during the 80s and 90s, but might be ripe for revisiting.

One line stuck out, describing the lifestyle: "it almost looks like a parody". Funny how happy, healthy living has become that...

The New Alchemists: could the past hold the key to sustainable living?

It’s 50 years since the New Alchemy Institute created its ‘living machine’ – a research project of organic farming, renewable energy and sustainable architecture. Did these eco pioneers design a blueprint for our future?

Syndicalist types who are serious about implementing workplace democracy need to get over their aversion to finance and engage seriously with it as a practical discipline, not just as a rhetorical tackling dummy. Capital appropriates the whole product legally because it assumes the liabilities of production, and if workers want to appropriate the whole product we have to know how to assume those liabilities intelligently and have some notion of how to bend finance to a moral end.

@demonshreder thus "socialization of technology" is again a double edge sword with better handle than free software or worst open source word. I dont want to use intellectually playful recursive acronyms. People hate that, worst they many times feel dumb and even worse I might be felt dumb most times. I do believe that democratization is possible only when both enclosure is preventable while taking ownership socially. Otherwise it is a pipe dream.

We hackers and developers and designers at the near top if intellectual strata were very happy to speak abstractly and prescribe so and so solutions to every problem we cone across. We even get laziness when we need to go use our capacity in ground, where opportunistic neoliberal and capitalists get hold.

How come are we going to revive the strength of commons in a society of such cultural hegemony. Gramsci might prove instrumental.
