@: 용인외고 학생들만 한 게 아니고, 인천여고와 신명고 등을 비롯한 고등학생들도 대안학교 학생연대도 시국선언을 했다. 늘상 그렇듯이 기록되지 않으면 사회적 강자들의 저항만이 기억되고 상찬받는다.

I wonder if you could use/abuse Mastodon polls (FEP-9967) to distribute posts that provide near-real-time status updates (I'm thinking about severe weather alerts but I'm sure there are other use cases)?

Create a poll with an expiry far in the future and a token set of options (ideally just one—"Do you opt in?"—but poll implementations seem to require at least two).

Nothing seems to prevent the content of a poll from changing—and this is the key insight. The FEP says, "The type of a poll (single choice / multiple choices) and its options might be changed at any time. In that case the author of the poll MUST reset the vote counts." So broadcast updates via the content.

It would be a lightweight way to follow a single item without following the actor, built on top of implementations that already exist.

I implore you to always stand up for privacy and the right to anonymity; for civil rights, justice, and equity; for the right to disconnect, to opt out, and to retain control of your life, your data, and your freedom.

You may not understand why these things are worth defending. Perhaps you believe you live in a just and lawful society. You may even think there are people who don’t deserve such rights. Please—defend them anyway.

This is already a losing battle. Our privacy and our agency are being eroded, little by little, every single day.

The dystopian surveillance state, the increasing militarisation of police, the rise of technofascism—it isn’t something that exists only in films like Children of Men, Elysium, or Equilibrium. It’s already here. The only reason many of us haven’t felt its full weight is privilege: a temporary buffer delaying for us what those already caught in its machinery have endured.

This is not paranoia, for I had the misfortune of briefly experiencing what I write about, and it terrified me. To feel utterly helpless. To exist at the mercy of faceless authority, where judgement no longer stops at what we do, but extends into what we think, say, and record in what we believed were private spaces.

Stand up for those who no longer have a voice, who have been pushed to the edges of society. And yes—think about yourself too, because if you don’t take a stand today, tomorrow you may find yourself in the spotlight, exposed and powerless.

Don’t be complacent. Don’t look away. Don't give anything away and make them fight for every inch. Support VPN services, resist giving over your personal information just to walk through a door or use a service even if you don't care about your own privacy or anonymity. Ask questions, say no, opt out, refuse to comply.

This post is not about current affairs and reflects my own experiences, particularly over the past two years, prompted by recently watching some videos with journalist and author Cory Doctorow whose work includes Little Brother and its sequel Homeland. These are my personal views and do not represent the views of my employer.

在出門散步的路上隨著心情變更了路線結果遇到這位。
常走在都市邊界的我來說生死是生命的慣常,不過死在馬路上會被當垃圾處理,這會讓我很遺憾😔
把它帶來河邊,在落滿果實的樹下回歸食物鏈的懷抱是我自己的自我滿足,希望它能滿意這最後歸宿。

the UNIX v4 tape reminded me of this story by Ali Akurgal about Turkish bureaucracy:

Do you know what the unit of software is? A meter! Do you know why? In 1992, we did our first software export at Netaş. We wrote the software, pressed a button, and via the satellite dish on the roof, at the incredible speed of 128 kb/s, we sent it to England. We sent the invoice by postal mail. $2M arrived at the bank. 3-4 months passed, and tax inspectors came. They said, “You sent an invoice for $2M?” “Yes,” we said. “This money has been paid?” they asked. “Yes,” we said. “But there is no goods export; this is fictitious export,” they said! So we took the tax inspectors to R&D and sat them in front of a computer. “Would you press this ‘Enter’ key?” we asked. One of them pressed it, then asked, “What happened?” “You just made a $300k export, and we’ll send its invoice too, and that will be paid as well,” we said. The man felt terrible because he had become an accomplice! Then we explained how software is written, what a satellite connection is, and how much this is worth. They said, “We understand, but there has to be a physical goods export; that’s what the regulations require.” So we said: “Let’s record this software onto tape (there were no CDs back then—nor cassettes; we used ½-inch tapes) and send that.” Happy to have found a solution, they said, “Okay, record it and send it.” The software filled two reels, which were handed to a customs broker, who took them to customs and started the export procedure. The customs officer processed things and at one point asked, “Where are the trucks?” The broker said, “There are no trucks—this is all there is,” and pointed to the tape reels on the desk. The customs officer said, “These two envelopes can’t be worth $2M; I can’t process this.” We went to court, an expert committee examined whether the two reels were worth $2M. Fortunately, they ruled that they were, and we were saved from the charge of fictitious export. The same broker took the same two reels to the same customs officer, with the court ruling, and restarted the procedure. However, during the process, the unit price, quantity, and total price of the exported goods had to be entered—as per the regulations. To avoid dragging things out further, they looked at the envelope, saw that it contained tape, estimated how many meters of tape there are on one reel, and concluded that we had exported 1k to 2k meters of software. So the unit of software became the meter.

Like many other autistic and/or disabled people I will spend Christmas on my own and while I appreciate my alone time and the atmosphere and the silence of it, I know it can be difficult and hurtful.

So I would like to connect with other people who spend Christmas on their own or experience feelings of loneliness during these days, by interacting with this post.

That can be just leaving and receiving a virtual hug or telling each other about the gifts you received or gave yourself during the year, maybe share a piece of music, write about your favourite video game or any other special interest. You can do this in private mode (English or German), I know that interacting with groups can be difficult, impossible sometimes, but every now and then I write posts like this during a moment of bravery and I already found amazing online friends by doing so.

Let's support each other in a world that makes building connection so difficult and feelings of loneliness so common.

Boosts are very much appreciated. Thank you.
