Data privacy, open source software, decentralization of power, and media ownership are the means to digital self-determinism and democracy in the Information Age. And mainstream platforms offer none of those features. #tech #philosophy #technologist #futurist
We used to have complex issues with organically diverse opinions. Now we just have blatant unanimously organized anti-egalitarianism built on reductionist aesthetics and self-interest vs folks who just give a fuck about people #politics #philosophy #tech #futurist #technologist
Billionaires: we need technological progress
The public: builds free open-source decentralized and democratic platforms
Billionaires: not like that!!
It’s been a few years since I first joined #mastodon so doing a new #introduction since many things have changed.
I am a #technologist, #singer, and #podcaster. I used to work for a large company (when I worked there I may have said tech company, but let’s get real they became a finance driving company a long time ago).
I like to #swim, #act, and write #apps in #swift and #swiftui
My podcast is @gamesatwork_biz and my personal blog is https://michaelrowe01.com
A friend was explaining all the reasons he thinks hes getting #fired at any given time. He's actually a brilliant #technologist but the GIF is fun nonetheless
Sharing today's aha moment with you -
The question we should be asking ourselves is what nourishes us and takes care of our needs? How can we make that happen for ourselves and others?

#Technologist & #Mastodon admin James Smith (@Floppy) delivers his most terrifying talk.
Quoting US Senator Marco Rubio, Republican, to Fox News:
"We have things flying over military installations, over military exercise and other places, and we don't know what it is and it isn't ours … and in many cases exhibits attributes of … the kinds of technology we haven't seen before." 16 Jul 2020

Episode 5.3: Solarpunk, Lunarpunk, Crypto, & Web3 with Stephen Reid
Disclaimer: Neither Christina, Ariel, nor the Solarpunk Presents podcast agree with nor support the use of cryptocurrencies or web3. For sound critiques (as well as explanations) of these technologies, check out the videos Line Goes Up - The Problem With NFTs from @FoldingIdeas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g) and Web3.0: A Libertarian Dystopia from @Munecat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-sNSjS8cq0) as well as the website https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/.
In Season 5 Episode 3 of Solarpunk Presents, Christina chats with transdisciplinary technologist Stephen Reid about the relationship that solarpunk and lunarpunk have to crypto and web3. If lunarpunk is what solarpunk gets up to in the shadows of a moonlit night, that suggests that lunarpunk is inherently more interested in privacy, security, and anonymity, especially from the watchful eye of the state. Further, that means that where solarpunk is interested in renewable energy, sustainability, appropriate technology, and social justice, lunarpunk is interested in the tools, like cryptography, cryptocurrencies, and web3, that safeguard our privacy and anonymity and potentially protect us from tyranny. Do we need lunarpunk’s fixation with using tech to protect our privacy to counterbalance solarpunk’s sunny optimism that everything will all be fine to break through to a better world?

Possible service offering:
Thinking of taking my technologist skills freelance. Would authors or anyone be interested in remote assistance to help with computer issues/website updates (i.e. you log in, I remote in and help/guide/do while you watch vs. giving me access and letting me do it), or technology consulting as part of Epona Author Solutions?

I don't want to be too cynical (who am I kidding?) but if you're selling a $499 course on subscriptions for authors when your platform is supposed to be all that and a dozen cookies too... nope. That makes my decision and I'll build my subscription platform on my own website.
I liked what I read in some blog posts, but it feels very much like the model used by too many "internet marketers" who entered the author space to make money.

The real reason you need an author technologist
Princeton defines technologist as a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. In this way, an author technologist, which is how I describe myself, is someone who uses technology to solve practical problems faced by authors today. But I'm so much more than a geek, or how I des

#Introduction:
My name is Robbie Norlyn! I’m a published author who primarily writes science fiction and fantasy for sale to the public. Anything else I have written, about a wide array of topics, is academic, private, or public domain.
I have had a wide variety of occupations over the years. I’m an #artist, #engineer, #scientist, and #technologist by way of experience and training.
My #AlmaMater is the #UniversityofWashington. Where I completed a #BA in #Philosophy. More specifically the school of #AnalyticPhilosophy with a strong focus on #science. However, I have a vast knowledge of #ethics and #theology due to my environment as a youth.
Why #Babka?
I’m #Jewish by descent (both sides, #Ashkenazi & #Sephardic) and am becoming more spiritual as I get older. I was raised in a #Secular/#CryptoJew environment. I grew up with Jewish memes & traditions without understanding any of their importance. Dreidels, Fiddler on the Roof, Passover, and Shel Silverstein are burned into my memories.
