"Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072" by #EmanAbdelhadi and #MEOBrien might be a really good #solarpunk book covering a speculative future.

I'm adding it to the top of my TO READ list :)

@amalia12 sure, no pressure :) I just wanted to show you one of the stories from the Global South that gives me hope.

@amalia12 I would argue that "utopia" and "dystopia" (as well as pro-, eu- etc) are merely perspectives.

Our world has more things happening right now that we can imagine within one paradigm. I got into Solarpunk specifically to be able to talk about what is already out there, but unimaginable. ( https://lenses.alxd.org/ )

@SolarpunkConference is "Solarpunk and Arcane" about magic, or the League of Legends series? :D

@breadandcircuses let me just add that we created a repository of human-made open-license art at https://storyseedlibrary.org/ - and you can use them instead of just the copyrighted images.

Solarpunk needs a lot of intentional thought when it comes to painting better futures, so that it doesn't default to greenwashing what's imaginable right now :)

@priscillaharing feel free to use https://storyseedlibrary.org/ art, we got a new section from Dustin Jacobus! :)

@priscillaharing my go-to example is #Wikipedia : even flawed, with moderator wars, lack of female / Global South representation, it's a utopian dream made real!

If it didn't exist, proposing it today would be too absurd ;)

Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):
https://www.istories.media/stories/2025/06/10/kak-telegram-svyazan-s-fsb/

English version by OCCRP:
http://www.occrp.org/en/investigation/telegram-the-fsb-and-the-man-in-the-middle

tl;dr:

👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.

👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.

I am quoted in this story.

As part of the investigation, I have looked closely at Telegram's protocol and analyzed packet captures provided by IStories.

I have also done some packet captures of my own.

I dive into the nitty-gritty technical details of what I found and how I found it on my blog:

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot

Yes, my packet captures and a small Python library I wrote in the process are all published along.

@neiman I know of it and don't know anyone going there (I live in Warsaw myself).

Seem to be more ecovillage / DIY types, but not exactly from the hacker scene...?

WHAT IF CANADA STOPPED UPHOLDING U.S. TECH COMPANIES’ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?

Canada shouldn’t retaliate with US tariffs—it should hit the USA where it hurts, instead

This article from Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) spells out how countries should react to trump's #Tariffs schemes: Start rolling back agreed #IP protections that were part of the trade agreements he has torn up.

Żeby nie było, że same smutki i porażki: wczoraj wjechał program Bazyliszka Polcon Avangarda (4-6 lipca, Warszawa) i powiem tak, JEST BOGATO.

Poniżej przedstawiam swoje aktywności: w piątek będę uprawiać solówkę o cielesności i japońskim cyberpunku, natomiast w niedzielę będę latać po różnych panelach i starać się być w nich wartością dodaną.

A tutaj link do całego programu. Serio jest na co czekać! https://bazyliszek.ava.waw.pl/program/

@fasnix I don't know, I make them on my blog and the #storySeedLibrary and hope others will use them :D

@marsxr I hear you. I stand against these tools and I believe that using them like this will hurt us as a civilization. I wrote essays about it.

http://lenses.alxd.org/ is one of it.

@marsxr you know that the last decade of my work is anti-blockchain, anti-NFT and anti-AI and I specifically curate repositories of intentional human art?
