"We often hear that Europeans don’t have, like Americans, the "success culture." Those examples, and there are many more, prove the opposite. Europeans like success. But they often don’t consider "winning against the whole society" as one. Instead, they tend to consider success a collective endeavour."

"Some are proud because they made a lot of money while cutting down a forest. Others are proud because they are planting trees that will produce the oxygen breathed by their grandchildren. What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons, to make it each day better, richer, stronger?" — @ploum

Men if you want more diversity on the Fediverse you need to speak up and call in your peers. You need to educate them and if they persist ban them. Make it clear they aren't welcome.

FR#150 – On ICE, Verification, and Presence As Harm

Bluesky built a verification system designed to distribute trust, and then didn't use it when it mattered.

Bluesky has verified the account of ICE, which was a step too far for many in the fediverse, wanting to disconnect from the bridge between the networks

The presence itself of ICE on Bluesky is a form of harm, and Bluesky is not well equipped to deal with this new challenge. Making things worse, their verification system is set up to delegate responsibility, but instead they made no use of it

"The case of ICE shows two unresolved problems that will only intensify as the ecosystem grows: how to deal with abusive behaviour that happens outside of the app (...)and how in a world where fascism is a real and existential threat, harms on social networks have evolved from not only being content-based but also being presence-based."

Great analysis by @laurenshof on @bsky.app verifying the ICE account.

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change

crimethinc.com · Jan 23

Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

Following the invasion of 3000 ICE officers,
everyday Minnesotans are pouring into
#rapid #response networks and scouring their neighborhoods
—even in 20-degree weather before the sun has come up.
“I’m being tailed by a car I think is ICE, I can make out two masked individuals through the tinted windshield,” someone says.
The call goes quiet for a few seconds. “I’m being pulled over.”
Dispatch chimes in:
“Stay unmuted, turn down your volume so they don’t hear the call,
everyone else please stay on mute.”
We hear banging, then something shatters.
“ICE just smashed their window,” our driver explains calmly,
decelerating ahead of a red light.
We are shocked, but this is a regular occurrence. Everyone on the call keeps their cool.

We have heard stories from rapid responders about ICE tailing them,
boxing them in,
smashing their car windows,
pepper-spraying them,
holding them at gun point,
shooting out their tires,
detaining them.

Some responders have been taken to the regional ICE headquarters, the #Whipple building.
Others have been driven to the other side of the city
and thrown out of the vehicle, alone in the cold.
Their cars have been left running in the road.
The responders tell us all these stories in passing, quickly returning focus to the work that is to be done.
Of course, ICE has done worse than this, too.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed #Renee #Good as she was trying to drive away.
A week later, as ICE agents were pursuing someone, they shot live ammunition at a house with a family in it, hitting #Julio #Sosa-#Celis in the leg.
But when you ask patrollers what they want people to know about what’s happening in their city, they barely mention the broken windows and bruises.
They describe the feeling of connection and solidarity filling the streets.
They make ❤️hearts with their hands from car to car, they blow kisses.
They make dinners for one another, they drop off groceries for undocumented families that have been locked inside their homes for weeks.
They tell us about how, when a skirmish broke out on a busy road,
an entire café full of people stood up as one, dropping what they were doing to run towards the sound.
We hear again and again about their deep love for the community in the Twin Cities and for their neighbors.
Every day, people who never imagined themselves fighting ICE are participating in bold combative actions

Following the invasion of 3000 ICE officers,
everyday Minnesotans are pouring into #rapid #response networks and scouring their neighborhoods
—even in 20-degree weather before the sun has come up.

“I’m being tailed by a car I think is ICE,
I can make out two masked individuals through the tinted windshield,” someone says.

The call goes quiet for a few seconds.
“I’m being pulled over.”

Dispatch chimes in:
“Stay unmuted,
turn down your volume so they don’t hear the call,
everyone else please stay on mute.”

We hear banging,
then something shatters.

“ICE just smashed their window,”
our driver explains calmly,
decelerating ahead of a red light.

We are shocked,
but this is a regular occurrence.

Everyone on the call keeps their cool.

We have heard stories from rapid responders about ICE tailing them,
boxing them in,
smashing their car windows,
pepper-spraying them,
holding them at gun point,
shooting out their tires,
detaining them.

Some responders have been taken to the regional ICE headquarters,
the #Whipple building.

Others have been driven to the other side of the city
and thrown out of the vehicle, ❄️alone in the cold.

Their cars have been left running in the road.

The responders tell us all these stories in passing,
quickly returning focus to the work that is to be done.

Of course, ICE has done worse than this, too.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed #Renee #Good as she was trying to drive away.

A week later, as ICE agents were pursuing someone,
they shot live ammunition at a house with a family in it, hitting #Julio #Sosa-#Celis in the leg.

But when you ask patrollers what they want people to know about what’s happening in their city, they barely mention the broken windows and bruises.

They describe the feeling of connection and solidarity filling the streets.

They make ❤️hearts with their hands from car to car, they blow kisses.

They make dinners for one another,
they drop off groceries for undocumented families that have been locked inside their homes for weeks.

They tell us about how, when a skirmish broke out on a busy road,
an entire café full of people stood up as one,
dropping what they were doing to run towards the sound.

We hear again and again about their deep love for the community in the Twin Cities and for their neighbors.

Every day, people who never imagined themselves fighting ICE are participating in bold combative actions

#Minnesota is having a statewide general strike, which hasn't happened in 100 years. Note that this was the result of tireless work by unions and local organizers, people with GeneralStrike.us, and mutual aid groups.

People have been talking about a tax strike but of course our leaders haven't been brave enough for it.

The fear is Trump pulling Medicaid or other essential funding in retaliation, but the idiot does that anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why talking to LLMs has improved my thinking – Vallified

philipotoole.com · Jan 23

I’ve been surprised by one aspect of using large language models more than any other. They often put into words things I have long understood, but could not write down clearly. When that happens, it feels less like learning something new and more like recognition. A kind of “yes, that’s it...

🌘 為什麼與LLMs對話改善了我的思維 – Vallified
➤ 從隱性知識到語言表達的轉變
philipotoole.com/why-talking-t
作者Philip O'Toole分享了與大型語言模型(LLMs)互動的親身經歷,強調LLMs如何幫助他將長期累積的隱性知識轉化為清晰的文字表述。他指出,許多專業知識在工程師腦中以直覺和模式存在,難以言傳,但LLMs擅長將模糊的結構轉化為具體語言,從而促進反思、規劃與教學。這種過程不僅加速了思維的具體化,還改善了他與語言之間的介面,提升了思考的清晰度與自我覺察。
+ 「這完全說中了我的經驗!每次和AI聊天後,那些原本模糊的想法都變得更有結構了。」
+ 「作者對LLMs的洞察很深刻,特別是提到『語言介面』的改善,這點在團隊溝通中尤其重要。」
