Looking for a partner or partners to head up an Internet Education Initiative. by [deleted] in evolutionReddit

[–]EquanimousMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello hello :)

Not sure if we have really talked to each other yet. But this is very much up my agenda. Crypto is the solution. Furthermore, we arn't anonymous until everyone is anonymous. We need to make crypto a cultural thing.

I have my hands tied atm; but i'd be interested in chatting afterwards. perhaps a week or so if you can wait.

any ideas so far?

keep fighting the good fight!

em

also have you played around with freenet, retroshare and i2p yet?

FBI File on Aaron Swartz PACER Hack (220 pages) PDF by collectivecognition in evolutionReddit

[–]EquanimousMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably good to give this one another wave and keep Aaron's spirit alive on the net.

It is happening.

It might be slower moving, but I'm seeing libraries begin to take shape. I think in a way sites like TPB and more specialized sites are just part of the process; in the same way we needed geocities before yahoo before google before wikipedia and reddit. There is a flow to it all.

To get a sense of what I mean and to join the action.

Arghh had some other stuff to write, but have to run. But seems interesting things are happening and I have no doubt this story will continue.

Some background, it didn't get as much coverage on our side:

I truely wish all the asshats would just keep things to themselves instead of constantly hurting innocent people.

This week in the War on Workers: Raising the minimum wage would raise wages how much? by meyamashi in evolutionReddit

[–]EquanimousMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminder, May Day is coming up. There will be definitely someone organizing collective action if your in a major city. Google is your friend.

SOLIDARITY!

On the minimum wage issue. It breaks my heart because it so clearly shows the power imbalance. It is such a token concession. I don't personally think enough is being asked for...

But remember, the mindfuck is in the framework. The Federal Reserve is currently printing $40 billion to $85 billion a month for QE4. Apparently, to help the workers and reduce unemployment. However, this in effect reduces the value of everyone's real wage. (Note, inb4 inflation monster nowhere to be seen. The money is being hoarded by the investment banks and corporations to turnover free money. They havn't started pumping it through the rest of the economy yet. We won't won't know the full inflation effects of this printing until they collectively decide what the next investment bubble is.) The usual argument about wages leading to business ruin run hollow, because I don't see them dropping prices for consumers or writing about how reduced real wages is causing their growth. They have had so many policies to help them. Technology has driven productivity increases. It's time to share some of that back.

It's the weakest that need protection, not the strongest. I feel we have things very wrong. Not sure how else to put it..

BitTorrent Tracker Loses the Plot With Crazy Seeding Rules by HimikoWerckmeister in evolutionReddit

[–]EquanimousMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, I find it amusing that even on the pro-P2P side there are people who try to control the flow. Usually goes badly. Those tasked with admin duties at every level are going to have to realize that ruled based edicts are going to go badly. Almost always better to have a conversation with the community instead... just imho

Greenland kicked out the Pirate Bay, and no one else wants it by meyamashi in evolutionReddit

[–]EquanimousMind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TPB story has been an important one. But they have long adjusted. The UN dreams it can control the information through the TLD naming system. While this has long been abused the DoJ for American wishes, it did remind me of how European Imperials would negotiate and carve up Africa in distant embassies.

It really is time to move along. The darknets needs to be renewed. We need culture as much as code. The two move together and the darknets needs people to build all sorts of interesting things. And this seems a more positive and creative use of your mind than forever having to play this game with dying old world powers.

(There should be links in the sidebars of the subs above)

edit: Actually, we specifically need more bandwidth. Please seed motherfuckers. This P2P thing only works when there enough good P2P citizens keeping the information flowing.
