"So, I worked on making #placespub for #geosocial #hackers to experiment with. It’s a service that exposes places from the amazing #OpenStreetMap collection of data as #AS2objects on the Web. So, given an OpenStreetMap object… it provides an AS2 version suitable for use in geosocial activities in #ActivityPub. It also has a rudimentary search mechanism, although most users will want to search the OSM database, and then map the IDs onto places.pub." @evanEvan Prodromou

places.pub
I’m making an initial version of places.pub available today. places.pub is a collection of Place objects suitable for use in geosocial applications on the ActivityPub network. Part of my work…

The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.
The CCC declares representing racism and fascism (…) to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.”

Here's what happens when you ask a hot new "AI" music generator to write some songs about deceptive AIs, lamenting billionaires, and catgirl hackers with their ThinkPads and geodesic domes.

Has everyone noticed?
Here in #Germany almost all #supermarkets use #epaper displays to show prices. They look great. It's hard to notice that it's not ink on dead trees.
That's thousands of displays per shop. Times thousands of shops in the entire country.
Some of those displays break or otherwise get replaced.
So there must be piles of used displays around the country... but where?
Does any of my fellow #hackers know how to get some of that #trash treasure?
"First they came for the hackers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a hacker.
Then they came for the file sharers, and I did not speak out—because I was not sharing mp3s.
Then they came for the Indy web zines, and I did not speak out—because I was not an Indy web zines reader.
Then they came for the porn, and I did not speak out—because I was not using porn.
Then they came for my socials, and I did not speak out—because techbros bring capital and I love doom scrolling.
Then they built huge, city sized, five eyes, surveillance data centres in the desert, and I did not speak out—because I had nothing to hide.
Then they built Netflix and all the streaming data centres, and I did not speak out—because everyone loves to Netflix and chill binge.
Then they put everything into the cloud; data centres, and I did not speak out—because I don't really understand other people's computers and cloud is cool.
Then the AI came for my job, devoured all the knowledge, boiled the rivers and burned the land—and there was nowhere left to speak for me."
