  • Love it. I am currently using Termux + Doom Emacs + syncthing + org-mode + org-roam + heliboard.

    I'll definitely check out 8vim. I trend to use the Emacs on phone more for org-roam than org-mode though (with orgzly more for org task management stuff). Do you find 8vim useful for longer text writing as well?

  • he seems to be repackaging some anarchist ideas in a way that's more digestible for more ardent marxists/Marxist-leninists

    And vice versa, is I think the point.

    Though I took it not as repackaging as such, just highlighting strategy and tactics from both along with pros and cons, and suggesting make use of whatever works in a given context. Kind of and pattern language approach to political organisation.

    Thanks for sharing these interviews and your thoughts, good to read them.

  • Fully agree on the wiki editing. I think of it as provisioning the knowledge commons, i.e. knowledge commoning. Sharing good info is very important. IMO a community wiki (local or not, could be an online community) is just as good as editing Wikipedia. Even just posting what you know on your own blog/wiki/digital garden is valuable. One of the most visited pages on my personal site is my notes on how I fixed some crappy cat feeder, not going to foment a revolution but presumably it's helping people to fix theirs too and stopping some e-waste.

  • Yeah I think it being based on interviews with those involved keeps it pretty non-dogmatic, just descriptive of what happened. I like that he references Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal towards the end of that interview. An ecology of organisation is a good take.

  • The revelations highlighted how Israel has relied on the services and infrastructure of major US technology companies to support its bombardment of Gaza, which has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and created a profound humanitarian and starvation crisis.

    Big Tech companies are essentially arms dealers.

  • Totally agree on the importance of skill sharing.

    Sharing skills and knowledge is a big part of RC culture. The idea is 'fix your thing with someone' rather than 'get your thing fixed'. But it does vary from place to place and fixer to fixer.

    In the London Restart community skillshares used to be common - fixers gathering together to share what they know (soldering skills, PAT testing, Linux, fault diagnosis, that kind of thing).

    Also check out the move towards permanent fixing spaces like Fixing Factories - https://www.fixingfactory.org/ - skills training is a big part of them.
