Our http://solarisecon.org/ #solarpunk #conference will be also streamed to #peertube !
We decided that it'd be best to have 4 separate streams, one for each of the panels.
The fist will be available at https://tube.tchncs.de/w/dckMS3s8t4iQ1DRMDdBk94 !
Is there anything I should keep in mind about PeerTube? Any tips from experienced streamers? :)
Philosophy Tube's latest video on transhumanism is top shelf!
Maybe there's a little of circle theory in the CW discourse? Vent outwards, support inwards. I would *never* tell someone to CW shit that affects *them* more than it affects *me*.
Conversely, I don't want to be the guy that says "hey, oppressed friends, here's some more upsetting stuff for you!" without a heads-up.
If you ask "should one CW this?" you seek a universal that shouldn't exist. Ask "should *I* CW this?".
Tomorrow, from 18:00 to – depending on weather and vibe – 20:00 or later: #cryptoparty on the old airport field in #berlin:
Ursula K. Le Guin on "technology"
"Technology is the active human interface with the material world.
But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources.
This is not an acceptable use of the word. "Technology" and "hi tech" are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't "hi," isn't necessarily "low" in any meaningful sense.
We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called "technology " at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers -- as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe..."
#Berlin we *urgently* need a lot of accommodation for #BIPoC arriving from #Ukraine today; dozens of people are here in the office in Wedding, waiting for accommodation
Please write to help@tubman.network
Mention where/how long you can offer housing, what languages you speak
If you can even house someone for even just 1 day that would be super helpful.
