If you share your commonplace book to the knowledge commons, is it a commonsplace book?

- If you share your commonplace book to the knowledge commons, is it then a commonsplace book?
- Listened to Nathan Schneider on Building Democratic Governance on the Internet
- Love this interview of Nathan Schneider by David Bollier. New book out, Governable Spaces. Sounds like a synthesis of a bunch of recent papers (e.g. Governable Stacks).
- Main thesis is about the need for inclusion of democracy in our everyday online tools. To avoid ‘Implicit feudalism‘.
- Decidim referenced favourably.
- And listened to Building human economies using technology
- Bit of a sprawling rambling discussion, but still interesting talking points. Technology, communism. Telekommunisten. Struggles of leftist tech to get a real foothold. Theory of value.
Idle thought: maybe the world would be a better place if the de facto ‘learn to code’ tutorial was not a todo list (individual productivity) but a simple group poll (collective decision-making).
I would just like to take a moment to lament the fact that I have received an email inviting me to become a Certified Generative AI Specialist.
- I’m getting more into the groove with fish on desktop the more that I use it.
- Still a slamdunk win on Termux.

- A bit more on Testing my org-export customisations with ERT.
- Had a quick read about Passkeys.
- Listened to Platforms for Public Good w/ Mathew Lawrence & Thomas Hanna
- Listened to Hotel Bar Sessions: Whose Anthropocene?
- Good discussion – is Anthropocene a useful term? Maybe Capitalocene works better? Maybe both have their uses. Good overview of the pros and cons of both.
- There’s a geological definition of Anthropocene (descriptive), which is interesting and all, but perhaps of more genuine use is it as a definition that motivates us to act to mitigate climate catastrophe (prescriptive).
- Also listened to Envisioning Platform Socialism w/ James Muldoon
- Great discussion. Loads of good stuff in there, listened while doing chores so not much in the way of notes, warrants a relisten.
- Platform Socialism. Guild socialism. Subsidiarity. Some things best as worker coops, some local municipality, some national. Some global. Global digital services. Take Google into global public ownership?
- DECODE.
- Went for a walk and listened to The Silicon Empire in Eastern Europe (ft. Erin McElroy)
- Following a stumble through the garden related to , re-reading The Telekommunist Manifesto.
- Also plan to re-read The British Digital Cooperative: A New Model Public Sector Institution.
