And there are lots of other examples where folks seem to bargain with extractive technologies and avoid the debate about environmental damage by talking about the good intentions and organization of the makers.

An organic, fair-trade, community-governed, collectively-owned, open-source oil rig is still an oil rig.

Intentions, governance, ownership, etc. are all super important, but you also need to be honest about what the thing does and the consequences.

I'm lookin' at you "Open-Source Local LLMs".

Baby steps.

I made a little #rustic step-ladder for the living room using a maple yoke piece that I ripped down the middle. And I added a removable slide for the junior woodworkers to have a some indoor playground fun.

@hellocatfood You're welcome to use the Lurk streaming server any time you want. It's no guarantee of an audience but the infra is there. Just send us a DM and we can set up a mount point for you.

Maybe we should stop calling them *Notifications* and instead refer to *Interruptions*.

"Working on some stuff so I've turned off interruptions for a while."

"Right on."

For some last-minute, end-of year #permacomputing joy, please join us in Berlin for a workshop:

## POST:COM:POST
** Regenerating rotting devices.**

* A Permacomputing Berlin Workshop *

15.12.2024 from 12-17:00h

kindly hosted by:
/rosa
Heidelberger Str. 28
12059 Berlin

In this workshop, we will attempt to install the Linux-based PostmarketOS on "obsolete" Android devices and find convivial new uses for them. This event will be more of a collective hacking and experimentation session than a traditional pedagogical instruction format. We can't promise to make every old device work again but we can offer a fun, informative and supportive environment.

@raphael In the future there will just be two global governments: Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store.

Thanks to the power of cloud computing, you too can make your tiny, low-key, local organization present itself like a tedious, faceless, byzantine bureaucracy.

Does anyone know of a good non-gendered word for "workmanship"?

It should imply the labor required and quality (perhaps artistry) inherent in the resulting thing.
