What is Hackers' Pub?

I don't have much to say today except that I watched the videos, and those videos showed a murder, not anything that could be considered self-defence or justifiable force.

So RIP Alex Pretti - you did the work. I'm sorry you had to die for it.

I try not to discuss politics too often. I have filters to block it from my feed on Mastodon. But, murder is not politics and I cannot look away from this.

I have watched multiple angles of today's ICE murder in Minneapolis. I can't believe they are just murdering people in the streets for filming them. What this regime is doing is no different from what Iran is doing to their protestors.

They have already called the victim a domestic terrorist. He was standing there filming with his phone.

They walked up to him, shoved him, sprayed him with pepper spray, and then six agents beat him.

They claim he had weapon. Lets pretend ICE is being honest (even though the image of the weapon they posted was fake) about the weapon. Having a weapon is not illegal and it is not a terrorist act. If he pulled the weapon while he was being beaten by the six ICE agents, it would obviously be self defense.

What they did to that man is murder.

ICE are the terrorists. They are acting like the Gestapo.

The entire reason ICE exists is to investigate people who are in the US undocumented, which is not a crime. It is inhumane to give them weapons. It is inhumane to put people in concentration camps. It is inhumane to detain people without medical care.

I have resisted the urge to call this regime what it actually is up to this point. They are openly and proudly Nazis. It should not be taboo any longer to call them what they are.

ICE has not "gone rogue" if it had the government wouldn't keep funding and arming it. It is doing exactly what the "U.S." government wants.

Federation is the word we use to describe that act of bringing together and connecting these separate Decentralized, Localized communities.

This is where protocols such as ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, etc come into play.

Federation is a voluntary choice.
But, so too is Defederation, if desired.

So, not just Decentralized Social (DeSo), but instead —

Decentralized Social (DeSo), Federated Social (FeSo), Localized Social (LoSo)

The goal is 'social' that is simultaneously — 'Decentralized', 'Federated', and 'Localized', all at the same time.

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.

Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.

Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.

Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

The message matters, as it can affect the future.

I think we should make a point to ALSO explicitly talk about 'Federation' and 'Localization' when we talk about 'Decentralization'.

Because if we don't, then — it is likely these values will be lost.

(I think we have already started seeing this in some places.)

In some ways it is unfortunate that the word 'Decentralization' has become a short-hand for the three ideas:

Decentralization, Federation, Localization

Some know that all the ideas are important — and that 'Decentralization' is a short-hand for all three.

But, many don't!

An interesting quote from @geerlingguyJeff Geerling .

The TL;DR is that — for him to use PeerTube or any other Fediverse alternative to YouTube — he would need to be able to make a living from it.

He is not the only one who has expressed this sentiment.

This is something I have been thinking about and talking a lot about for a while now.

(I know I am not the only one.)

There is a type of person who is attracted to the gemini-protocol and gemtext because they wanted a Web that was based on Markdown instead of HTML.

And the gemini-protocol + gemtext seemed close to that.

...

Not everyone who is attracted to gemini-protocol or gemtext is this type of person.

But I've talked to enough of these types of people that I know they are definitely out there.

Hello Mastodon!

I’m Avi Lewis and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!

I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.

We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.

Cryptographic public-keys are one way that one can have an identity (on the Fediverse, and elsewhere) while also having privacy — through a pseudonymous identity.

Yes, we have Fediverse IDs such as:

＠joeblow＠example.com

But a (non-delegated) public-key can function as a PORTABLE form of identity on the Fediverse.

@mattblaze one of the things I find the most troubling is that the federal government can murder someone and then declare that they were a domestic terrorist before their body is even cold. It's probably not libel for reasons I don't understand, but it's bad enough they are killing people, demonizing them after the fact without any evidence or investigation just makes it worse.

I think the worst part of this, aside from the loss of life, is the near certainty that at some point today, Trump will find words that will make the situation much, much worse.
