Everything made by humans can be destroyed by humans. No social system is forever. The rest is just skill issue.

chobeat@lemmy.mlOPto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Three years of building no-code software for political organizations4·2 months agoI didn’t mention some other systems, but for bigger campaigns ActionNetwork is one of the most used tools and has a lot of integrations, for instance with N8N. I do run some systems with ActionNetwork, mostly for newsletters. The thing of using N8N as a glue layer is that you can integrate with more specialized tools if the need arises, maintaining your custom systems for more niche cases.

After the fall of the USSR, it got worse because especially in Europe the Left lost the leverage given by the threat of a soviet invasion/support. The G8 protests in Seattle and Genova kinda sealed the deal, showing that the future has been abolished.

chobeat@lemmy.mlOPto Technology@lemmy.ml•TikTokers are calling LA ICE raids 'music festivals' to trick the algorithm3·2 months agoI don’t use mastodon exactly because I don’t want to put in the labor of figuring out what content to consume. I want to be in control of the logic, but the machine should be doing it. The fediverse fails because it thinks people who want control over their feed are fine with not putting in any labor at all, basically conceding to big platforms that the only way to customize a feed is in an exploitative, invasive way, which is obviously bullshit.

I would argue the title implies “leaving the tech industry”, and in the beginning it says the article is for who wants to still work with the same skillset, but outside of the tech industry as in the companies who produce technology for profit. Probably only the tech co-op part can be said to be still within the tech industry
chobeat@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•The AI Company Zuckerberg Just Poured $14 Billion Into Is Reportedly a Clown Show of Ludicrous Incompetence5·4 months agoFuturism.com is garbage. I think it’s quite a distorted narrative: the vetting is extremely invasive, with regular face scans and passport verifications at sign up. Then maybe a lot of shit was still going through, but this narrative suggests that these companies are not at the forefront of extremely invasive worker surveillance, which is demonstrably false given the wave of class actions and privacy violation proceedings they are subject to.

I actually teach how to plan, execute, and assess political and social impact, beyond practicing it in my orgs. Are you aware there are plenty of disciplines working exactly on this? Your rethoric is just a way to justify your inaction. If nothing can change, it means you’re exempted from your responsibilities. Too easy.
