On the wires of our nerves
Solarpunk is all fun and games until you get hayfever. #dystopia
LGTM ?
So on fediverse at the moment I guess we have multiple identities, multiple services + data stores.
One step could be one consolidated identity using multiple services and data stores.
Personally I like the sound of a generic AP server + data store, e.g. CommonsPub, to which other services authenticate as clients, and all my data is in one place.
You could host your own data store, or still have it live on a shared instance. It would be simple to migrate it elsewhere if instance goes kaput.
Really nice documentary about Dieter Rams:
He was one of the first electronic product designers and was heavily involved in Braun’s designs in the 60s and 70s, supposedly a big influence on Jonathan Ive.
However, he’s very vocal on the importance of longevity and sustainability, with the motto ‘less, but better’, from a design standpoint but also an anti-consumerism standpoint. At one point in the film he laments the lack of thought around repairability in modern design.
Nice soundtrack by Brian Eno too.
