A good quote to start Kill it With Fire:

@ntnsndr @flancian @todrobbins I guess I'm a bit concened about the logistics of managing this for potentially 100s of @SocialCoop users, and knowing when they could be retired.

This is an important vote for @SocialCoop about whether bridged Bluesky posts should circulate more visibly in our our little corner of the fediverse. Many thanks to @flancian for bringing it up for discussion, and articulating a proposal.

Protip: once the page loads scroll up to the top to see the proposal. I don't know what the Loomio designers were thinking when they implemented that "feature".

@ntnsndr given the Google monopoly ruling, and the possibility that their payments to Mozilla will dry up, I wonder if there has been any talk of Mozillla trying an #ExitToCommunity? Maybe it's too big to even think about, but how cool would it be to use a web browser maintained by a #coop?

🔖 Why Don’t We Just Call Agile What It Is: Feminist by Hanna Thomas Uose https://medium.com/@Hanna.Thomas/why-dont-we-just-call-agile-what-it-is-feminist-8bdd9193edba

"the thing I notice from both the manifesto, the accompanying principles, and the fact that these 17 men call themselves ‘organizational anarchists’ is that what they came up with is inherently subversive, anti-authoritarian, and feminist. There is an emphasis on self-organising, collaboration, experimentation, welcoming change,

@flancian @ntnsndr @SocialCoop @todrobbins @3wordchant that's great! I wonder if we might want to use the working group feeds too, or are those included in the main feed? For example: https://www.loomio.com/socialcoop-community-working-group.xml

I did work on this feediverse tool a while ago, that can be helpful for monitoring multiple RSS feeds and sending them to Mastodon: https://github.com/edsu/feediverse But I do like the idea of having something custom fit for Loomio and or @SocialCoop account.

@luis_in_brief I'm not disagreeing (or trying to be disagreeable) but do you have an example?

@ntnsndr @jonny let us know what you discover!

@ntnsndr @robin @boris I feel the same way as @sam

I never noticed how #Maintenance has the French word "maintenant" in it, which means "now", and is composed of the words hand (main) and to hold (tenir). It speaks to how maintenance requires attention and engagement with things as they are. It also reminds me of one of the perks of maintenance work is that it grounds and connects you to the present.

@ntnsndr @GuerillaOntologist because I feel like I am trusting the coop to use my donation to help pay for the server and help support the work people put into maintaining it as a social media space. Similarly I trust that people follow the bylaws as part of the operation of the coop as best they can. These seem to be trust-full, but perhaps I'm just not getting what is meant by trust-less? Or maybe it's not a good term to be using in serious conversation? :-)

@ntnsndr @GuerillaOntologist thanks for that reference--I like the distinction they make between trust and confidence. It seems that people who equate trust in the mathematical propfs with trust in the deployment of complex software assemblages do so at their own peril...

So are you saying that our use of money and bylaws in social.coop are trustless?

@ntnsndr @GuerillaOntologist I still struggle with the concept of "trusstlessness" in DAO and why I would want such interactions in social.coop, for example. Trust seems like an important property for the coop to cultivate. It's difficult to scale, but maybe that's ok? What do you make of this term and how it is used?

@ntnsndr I mean, I'm sure there is, the question is -- does it work?

@ntnsndr lol. Maybe he will be able to help debug and simplify the trash fire of code being written by LLMs?

@ntnsndr lol, now would be a good time to take a walk.

@ntnsndr maybe they'll use an LLM to write the promo to complete the circle.

🔖 Patrice Maniglier · Bruno Latour, 1947–2022: An untimely death, a work for the future (2023) https://www.radicalphilosophy.com/article/bruno-latour-1947-2022 - This is one of the best pieces I've read so far about the passing of Latour, and his philosophical project to refocus the lens of anthropology in order to examine modernism and planetary crisis. I especially like it because it speaks to his joyful and playful approach.

TIL that there is a URI scheme for dictionaries, and curl supports it:

curl dict://dict.org/define:mastodon

@ntnsndr ugh! part of me wants to ask what the prompt is, the other part of me doesn't want to know.
