  • I don’t think you are wrong or that we disagree, I try to do everything in my power to build pockets of freedom, I also develop FOSS, I own an homelab, used to host services for a solarpunk movement here in Italy too.

    But we cannot be satisfied by small pockets of freedom, they are just a way of surviving in a world full of shit. Corporates are extremely happy with this tendency we have of boycotting and building something good only for our bubble, we stopped being a treat for their profit and instead we are enabling more and more their policies: our pockets of freedom somehow make their dystopian policies more acceptable and instead of coordinating to actually change something, we stay in our bubbles.



  • I think the post is about this too, honestly. What the post is saying is that “open source is not enough, we need governance” and I really do not agree. What I am saying is that governance and small pockets of freedom will not solve our problems, just give us the illusion that we are good.

    What I am saying is that we don’t need small pockets of freedom, but we need to live in total freedom, and technology and software are a big part of that. This society model is destroying everything, from our wellness to the ecosystem, and “small pockets of freedom” won’t solve anything.





  • Non saprei rispondere dicendo il più importante in assoluto, ma ultimamente sto guardando For All Mankind (che è una serie, scusa) e mi sta dando davvero tanta malinconia guardando a quello che sarebbe potuto essere il nostro mondo.

    Poi ovviamente non posso non citare 2001: Odissea nello Spazio, ma anche Solaris, che ci dovrebbe dare un bel colpo di umiltà nel rapportarci con l’universo. Andando più nella nicchia, Vagamondi per quanto non perfetto è secondo me una lettura molto importante se si vuole immaginare un futuro per l’umanità su Marte (e analizzare che direzione prendere sulla Terra).
