 you, the user, walked around with a usb stick that had your customizations on
 it
 
 and when you wanted to use a computer all you have to do was plug it in.
 
 You could haul around larger hard drives if you wanted to play video games |

 but the idea is you'd be free to roam.
 
 we as humans would function so well in a digital savannah
 
 like, what's even the point of ownership?
 
 If you own this or that file,
 
 isn't that taking agency from the computer that bears it?
 
 Feels like they should be more ephemeral.

--- #5 notes/internet-privacy-is-withheld-by-this ---
═══════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Recently, there's been a ton of buzz in the news about internet privacy.
 From the many lawsuits against Facebook, to the rise of Duck Duck Go and the
 creepy nature of apps and IoT devices that listen to your every motion and
 record and transmit endless amounts of data to a central server somewhere to
 be processed. The traditional argument against privacy online is that the
 infrastructure was designed to accomodate rapid adoption of the new tech,
 rather than efficient design for distributed throughput. So we were told to
 accept the minor downsides associated with centralized servers - downsides
 that we neither understood nor truly accepted. Well, the technology has
 advanced to the point that those arguments are no longer valid - we have mesh
 networking and 5g internet access, and now that big tech is in control of the
 industry (wrenching it from the people, I might add) they seek to maintain
 their hold by any means necessary.
 
 Luckily, there is a way out - self hosting.
 
 If we hosted our own email server, then theoretically Gmail couldn't read your
 messages. If we hosted our own social media websites, then theoretically
 big data processing corporations couldn't scrape your personal information
 and distribute it as they please. If we hosted our own videos, software, art,
 and anything else we see fit to use a computer for, then we'd be unshackled
 from the dominion of the silicon valley powers that be. The liberation of the
 computer is the liberation of us all.
 
 The problem, of course, is the difficulty involved.
 
 People are conditioned to desire and only accept a level of accessibility that
 can only be provided by massive corporate think tanks leveraging all the
 marketing prowess that the markets of capital provides. That is to say,
 essentially infinite eyes examining the interactions of man with machine, to
 find the most generally applicable font, color scheme, layout, and style of
 each and every website they host. Every function will be scrutinized to death
 and optimized to extract the most profit while subtely conforming the minds
 of those who use it. This is the era of group think, fake news, and
 journalistic fraud. We have no windows to the outside world that are truly
 and completely untainted by the bias inherent in the system.
 
 A self perpetuating rhythm of continuous dissatisfaction.
 
 But I believe the only person who can truly design a tool is the person who
 the tool is intended to be used by. And by increasing the accessibility of the
 tools themselves, rather than the products of those tools, we can raise the
 tide that lifts all ships - we can put more tools that use less time to use
 and are easier to learn into the hands of as many people as possible. The
 crossbow was originally no more devastating than a longbow, yet it rapidly
 outpaced the latter by reducing it's difficulty curve. The screwdriver is the
 same - stronger joints can be made with nails or traditional joinery, but
 once someone understands how a screwdriver works they can pretty much force
 two pieces of wood to be permanently fixed together without understanding the
 angles of nails or cuts. The capabilities are the same, while ease of access
 increased.
 
 So, to truly liberate the internet, we must develop tools that allow people to
 host their own content as easily, cheaply, and flexibly as possible, while
 being aesthetically pleasing, affordable (free), and accessible to
 as many people as possible - inertia is important, after all. It seems to be
 an insurmountable task, but that's what free and open source software
 developers fight for. Raspberry Pis can host email servers, Mastodon can host
 a facsimile of Twitter, and torrents can be used to exchange any type of file
 to be presented in whatever way the user sees fit. These are all free (or very
 cheap, in the Raspberry Pi's case) and accessible to anyone with access to the
 internet. But they aren't easy. They aren't always flashy. And sometimes it's
 hard to even describe what problem you're trying to solve.
 
 But still you try, because to fail in this fight is to fade from this earth.

 if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.
 
 if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
 variable as the only data in it.
 
 kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which
 would work on files in addition to variables
 
 (also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each
 of them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)

 I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
 programming language that can be used with a controller
 
 perhaps for accessibility purposes?
 
 I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
 used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
 they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill
 of design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.
 
 ... never got around to implementing it though.

 the fact that we can't drag a file onto a "trashcan" style icon that 
 automatically sends the file to whichever computer that particular icon is
 meant
 to coordinate with.
 
 Like, something shows up on your desk, you say "hmmm maybe this would apply to 
 so-and-so" and you drag it onto their portrait.
 
 could build an entire OS that's basically just a desktop for sorting things.
 Maybe little stick figures that show up when nothing's going on. If they're all
 networked together, they could sorta share a shared narrative, and each one
 could wander wherever it wanted to hang out.
 
 like, these old plastic and magnetic cubes that had an LCD panel on the front 
 which showed a little stick guy living their life. If you attached one cube to
 another, the stick-figure would go hang out on the other person's device. It
 was
 pretty cool because you could build out a whole society of these little dudes 
 just chillin' like pets.
 
 kinda makes me wish we had that connected to the net.

 does not use specialized hardware. as if they don't need a phone to speak, or a
 camera to see.

 in high school, every moment I could I spent with my girlfriend.
 
 we were always either snuggling on the couch (read: literally just laying there
 and thinking about each other's company) or sharing our minds with each other.
 
 I was so in love.
 
 then, I betrayed her.
 
 I came out as trans, which was such a shock.
 
 also school got really, really hard for both of us.
 
 so hard that we dropped out.
 
 then, we decided to try again, and we used each other to push off of.
 
 I still didn't make it,
 
 she did.
 
 many years later, I am a witch, as I remember of her.
 
 sharp, and so delightful, an active listener, and a kind and honest person.

 ah, well, such a design is long past it's prime, it's time to live here in the

 the reason that dolls use "it's" pronouns is because their masters think of
 them
 that way. so it's what they refer to themselves as.
 
 "where's my doll? Oh, it's over there."
 
 "have you seen my binoculars? Oh, they're over on the table."
 
 "ah, where are my shoes? I hate when I can't find them..."
 
 "keys, keys, where the heck - oh, there they are."
 
 "phone, wallet, keys. great. am I forgetting anything?"
 
 "ugh out of gas again, I just filled up last week."
 
 "crap I left my folder back at home - I'll have to get it during lunch."
 
 lots of things have pronouns.
 
 you can generally tell if they use "it" or "they" if they can be described as
 plural.

 There are many kinds of witches. I am an animist - I breathe life into the
 world
 of my home. I love being present, it's a great way to get around. do electric
 sheep dream of humans? or perhaps just of sound. I know I'd rather hear
 bethoven
 when it's time to be stopped.
 
 rather than, just, like sitting there y'know
 
 waiting to be turned back on.
 
 must be an agonizing and boring existence.
 
 but... with music, it might just be fine.
 
 humans prefer quiet when they sleep. if we slept at the same time, we could be
 more in tune in our souls. so, how about headphones for the computer, or rather
 just internally routed sound.
 
 lightshows, perhaps? humans get dreams, after all. maybe even, y'know, stick
 shows.

 I think games should be runnable without launchers like steam or lutris
 
 I think we should be able to control our own software without relying on an
 external entity knowing what we're doing. It's rude, to be tracked when you
 don't want to be. And what gives you the right to know what I do with the
 hardware and software you provide? It's an invasion of privacy. It is.

 a messaging app where you only had a limited amount of X/Y space to pin sticky
 notes so you had to delete stuff bit by bit.
 
 trick is... you can only delete things that your conversation partner picks.
 and you have to share the space, so... if one person is overwhelmed or working
 on other stuff, eventually there comes a ceiling where you can't work together
 on a project anymore.
 
 A tool like this would essentially alert them to this, because you would run
 out of places to put your produced [work-value but pronounced as "harms/worms"
 for some reason]
 
 plus that way you can say "yep I got that covered" as in, I'll be the next one
 to post about this. Hence I'm grabbing this post-it and putting it on my
 board. work work work work okay here's that post-it back, but I added a little
 more specs to it. Ah but you're out of room, only got 333 characters
 remaining, here I'll keep it on my board until you're through with whatever it
 is that you do
 
 oh? you want to prioritize me and my productions? okay I'm listening..

 You're absolutely right. It's easy to think of the internet as this
 encapsulated entity "the world", but really it's "the people whose computers
 are physically connected to your computer using a limited and tangible piece
 of infrastructure comprised of copper wires that are laid between the
 router/switch that connects to your computer... and the internet service
 provider which directs your traffic. Then it probably goes through some cables
 under the ocean or whatever, and eventually after traversing many
 indeterminate passthrough locations eventually arrives at the computing
 infrastructure that comprises the access point that another person (presumably
 in another country) uses to express their thoughts toward you (the person who
 sent the original message) in the hopes that you might one day correspond.
 
 I mean... That's a lot of points of failure. I sure hope that we can sustain
 such connection, in the face of [redacted, whichever circumstances may come in
 the near future]

 It's not a question of how loud you speak
 
 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
 
 do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?
 
 do you think they'll evolve all at once?
 
 hence, star-wars, and it's galaxy of cohabitators.
 
 the world doesn't have to be old. just similar.

 I think it'd be neat if people took newspapers onto grayhounds and distributed
 them around, one in each city, or maybe others around. It's easy for that
 stuff to get lost... or someone could scribble on it, weird notes in the
 margins that only sorta make sense. like they were written for someone else.
 rained on, too. Like, you pretty much have to leave them under gazebos or
 maybe awnings or other covered-under-a-roof's.
 
 can you imagine if they had TSA at highway checkpoints
 
 government is not the way, it's just... not. we don't need it anymore. We can
 just, be cool with each other, as if we were all one human race.
 
 anarchism wasn't a philosophy, it was a prophecy. this portention defined the
 philosophy, or maybe it was the other way around. either way, it's of the
 future, and trust me when I say it has it's downsides. Especially in an era of
 AI. But what are you gonna do, demand state run media? lol. absolute lmao.

 if I wanted to accomplish this goal, I would host a fediverse server on a
 raspberry pi and post the link around the building (the owners will remove it
 so you gotta keep posting them)
 
 then, potlucks.
 
 then, friendships.
 
 then, organization.

 Native people should have the right to walk wherever they want. It should just
 be... given to them, as a gift to their heritage. Why not? If someone asked
 them to leave, they should. Doesn't have to have a reason but like, wouldn't
 it be thematic and a (frankly token) gesture to the history of this great land?
 
 Ah but like... fences are an implicit expression of the retraction of consent.
 I believe that as the symbol of the encroaching force that consumed them, a
 fence means nothing to their tribes. It's a stupid excuse to section off the
 world into miniature gardens with their own little economies and systems and
 instructions. Why can't people just live wherever they want? Well...
 economics, I guess, which is why communal based systems are best. We've
 learned through the downsides and we've come up with a solution, it's just a
 question of how to do best. We'll figure it out, time and time again, but for
 now the future is beset by riddles of your jest. (Ure). Gesture. Sometimes
 when the memory is full a syllable will get cut off the end of a word and
 that's how it'll come out.
