@elb @abbienormal @alcinnz @bob @lightweight @xerz I don't paint with a wide brush like that. I'm certain some projects empower designers. Heck I can even consult, for free, to ENSURE that's the case. It's a different culture.

i'm a senior UI desiner and I tried SO BAD to volunteer in FOSS projects.

It's... not productive.

The best FOSS projects care about UI/UX, but the long tail scoffs at it.

@elb @abbienormal @alcinnz @bob @lightweight @xerz frankly, i can consult for free for ANY FOSS project that wants to care about usability, but doesn't know how.

just pick a time, gimme an intro of your problem, and we chat. seriously. pass link around, even. https://calendly.com/nonlinear/30min

opportunities.

ecofascism marries eugenics to ecology, insisting that Earth has exceeded its "capacity" and balance can only be restored by despatching billions of unnecessary people.

The “unnecessary” are surprisingly, brown.

Fuck Trump

Deplatform fascists EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

We're all antifa

@gcupc if it helps, dude is going on primitivism/progress myths now.

The noble savage is just a mirror image of the primitive man, when civilization questions itself. It’s orientalism.

If permaculture is all about relationships, then we need to consciously design for relationships WITHOUT DOMINATION.

This is the premise of liberation permaculture.

many criticise permaculture because it doesn’t fully challenge the roots of oppressive systems. If we are truly to re-design our lives for freedom and autonomy and respect for the land then we need to break the denial and get to the roots of understanding our current state of affairs.

@gcupc it’s all fine. I respect you, but I didn’t like the approach. To me, from double diaspora, it speaks volumes. It’s not for all of us, so what.

@gcupc you’re jumping from one indigenous stereotype to another. From snippets. I suggest you to I dunno, listen more.

“Fishy”, “noble savage”, it’s somewhat reducing eh? Nobody put you as the arbiter of truth. You pour your attention where you want to.

Maybe you don’t need to voice your personal takes (from snippets).

I’m being as respectful as I can. If its not your lane, it’s not your lane. But lugar de fala is needed.

@gcupc look. It’s hard to explain indigenous POV like that. it’s not a discussion, but a... vision quest?

By all means go or don’t, i like it because it gives words for my Brazilian POV, a lot.

You go or don’t go, all is good.

@gcupc yeah he does... about Zimbabwe, and once you build cities it becomes closed system, unsustainable.

Sand Talk #book tells how unsustainable civilizations are.

Yes, boing boing is going downhill. https://boingboing.net/2020/12/05/this-step-by-step-real-estate-investing-guide-provides-priceless-knowledge-to-help-you-make-the-big-bucks.html
