Now it's time for some more hands-on action.

@cypherhippie.bsky.socialI have been waiting for THIS moment my entire adult life. Not a joke. ‘categorical incoherence is the epistemological basis of tyranny’
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialThesis:
there is no advancing culture without applying metaphors based on conscious category mismatching at some point
But also, that when that mismatch is forgotten/overlooked/repressed over time - suffering follows
My fav example:

@laurenshof.onlineReposted by @cypherhippie.bsky.socialwant to know what cool updates have been happening to fediverse software in the last 3 months? I've got you covered!
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialCongrats! Makes my current ap-at advocacy work a lot more fun 😎
IMO, it would help if the rationale for choosing Switzerland is shared in some detail (people seem to be discussing weirdest sounding theories about it).
And, can I do a PR for typos I’ve found on web.plc.directory somewhere?

@bnewbold.netReposted by @cypherhippie.bsky.socialHello World from the PLC organization (plcred.org)!
The org was soft-announced back in March at AtmosphereConf. We've been working through logistics step by step and now have a public web presence we can point to.
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialetwas weniger reißerisch und eher analytisch fand ich Max Kasy (Oxford) hier:
Er spricht von "Ideological Obfuscation" - und das halte ich für sehr treffend...
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialWas hältst du hiervon:
@byarielm.fyi PinnedReposted by @cypherhippie.bsky.socialChanging your phone provider = changing your atmosphere provider → keep your phone number = keep your identity (username) Changing your phone = changing what app you use* → keep your contacts & photos = keep your followers, following, posts, etc. You can change providers without changing phones.
@cypherhippie.bsky.social‘PLC can do whatever it damn well pleases’ Wouldn’t such a change of method fundamentally break self authentication? In other words: how can one update a did:plc doc without access to keys?

@cypherhippie.bsky.social„Mensch muss durch strenge Herrschaft in Schach gehalten werden, weil Mensch Todestrieb hat“ Freuds eindeutig pseudowissenschaftliche Dualtrieb-Theorie wird seit mehr als 4 Generationen zitiert um den eigenen Kulturpessimismus zu legitimieren. Wie kann das Basis für eine „linke Position“ sein? 🤷🏻♂️
@cypherhippie.bsky.social1. Meta buys Bluesky 2. Meta creates did:plc identities for all ~4 billion users and invites everyone to get a copy of the database 3. Shortly afterwards, aliens show up and congratulate us to this civilizational achievement 4. Meta shareholders are invited on a trip to alien planets Win Win Win
@ronentk.meReposted by @cypherhippie.bsky.socialJust today I was thinking of my fav fish meme (as one does 😅) and I realized that "organize" has roots in the word "organ", eg organize literally means "To furnish [a body] with organs", "to endow with capacity for the functions of life"
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialAnyone interested in doing a prez today?
@cypherhippie.bsky.socialWhat? Open Social Web Meetup
When? Today 18:00
