New on the #XLtRadar : Time To Stop Cuddling with The Technosphere Cannibalism !? - #Biosphere vs. #Technosphere vs. #Anthropocene .... https://xlterrestrials.substack.com/p/time-to-stop-cuddling-with-the-technosphere

PS. Arnie is my namesake, and in Terminator 2 this #sociosphere molded over #technosphere construct from the future also learned to love its softer side, when it came into contact with #Humanity. Hence the governator meme. 😜

It was where #AI Artiicial intelligence met Alternative intelligence, and knew the latter was worth fighting for.

🤖 Smart robot. Meanwhile we shouldn't build #SkyNet, fedizens. Work in commons and with #people power.

We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.

#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.

In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.

The objective of Social experience design is to deliver solutions that match 'stakeholder' needs. This includes needs of the people developing the software. #SX has a sustainability-first focus and instead of "FOSS projects" refers to #SOSS initiatives. Sustainable open social systems / software / solution / services. Projects that address the relevant aspect of their #FSDL, the end-to-end Free software development lifecycle.

To add #social layers, beyond #technosphere.

Indeed. AP is a network communication protocol for social networking. Something that sits very low in the tech stack.

Fedizens of the future shouldn't even be aware that this open standard protocol is at work deep down in the #technosphere.

Only then can we address "society" and build solutions that address needs in the #sociosphere. This has my focus re: Social experience design, #SX

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

Our modern society is built on a #technosphere, where #SocialMedia facilitates our communications and how we interact. #FreeSoftware plays a huge and important role in facilitating all this.

Then merely musing, should #SoftwareFreedom not be considered to be just as nuanced as #FreedomOfSpeech? Are the four #FOSS freedoms reasonable, or are they akin to #FreeSpeech absolutism?

Humans are making it increasingly difficult for wildlife to live and reproduce.

Sprawl, accelerated fossil fuel mobility via motor engines and roaming introduced canines makes survival for other than humans risky or impossible. The prosthetic apparatuses of 'man' sends its noisy and polluting tentacles into every nook and cranny where bio-diversity still dwells - 24/7.

I am not advocating to throw tech at things and see what sticks to the wall. That I call what others dogmatically pursue and think is what people want: #DigitalTransformation

We live in a #technosphere and a big chasm of missing #sociosphere must be bridged.

I'm hobbying along here in #fedi advocacy for years hoping to share dreams of #peopleverse. This I now continue at #SocialCoding movement under the flag of #SocialExperienceDesign (or simply #SX)

#coding --> #socialcoding
#community --> #movement
#users --> #fedizens

and

#technosphere --> #sociosphere
#fediverse --> #peopleverse
#foss --> #soss

and

#socialmedia --> #socialnetworking
#socialgraph --> #socialfabric
#techstack --> #socialstack
#app --> #solution #service
#product --> #socialexperience

and

#dx #ux #ui --> #sx
#project --> #fsdl
#projects --> #ecosystem
#development --> #cocreation
#forge --> #forging
#contributor --> #peer
#contributing --> #peerproduction

#Philosophy 🤔

#SocialExperienceDesign is pragmatically based on existing show-dont-tell #technosphere and its societal disruption machine. #SX focuses on #sociosphere to bridge tech-to-#people chasm and realign tech-to-#humanity

Does society have social experience?
Does activism count as social experience? Can urgency be JIT lazy-loaded?
Do intrinsic solutions exist?
Can we weave social fabric?
Can we spark commons?

If a technosphere brings new fediverse, can a sociosphere renew our universe?

#FreeWilly? How large is the % of your #WorldImprovement #mission part of the #WickedSolution to #Freedom.

So #SteamboatWilly may surf #society and #life, be #happy again, escape the monster?

For instance if you are #PirateParty.

(Whose HQ astoundingly has no #socials pointing to #HumaneTechnology #SocialWeb channels. No #fediverse or #fedi account AFAICS. So randomly picking @ppdelft )

PP What percentage of our #technosphere is dystopic, needs #patching?

Knowing #mission informs #vision 🤔

@travisfw @mysteriarch

I'd invite you to "feel" yourself part of social coding movement then (there's no membership) which has a mission to figure out the "social code" align #technosphere to #sociosphere and build social layers of our open social stack 🤗

Core focus is Social experience design, #SX a completely new and open field and niche to explore.

We have a forum: https://discuss.coding.social

And #matrix chatrooms going:

https://matrix.to/#/#socialcoding-foundations:matrix.org

https://matrix.to/#/#groundwork-matters:matrix.org

@travisfw @mysteriarch

Btw in this diagram it is clear that a #sociosphere is needed, or else we are all stuck in the #technosphere as we are today.

I call the hypothetical sweet spot where socio and technosphere are seamlessly aligned and tuned to the needs of people and planet a #peopleverse ..

The current #fediverse is a typical technosphere. We can emulate some "social" but social bandwidth is tiny. There's a lot of "manual social" (the regular kind) we can do to improve, realizing this.

"The total mass of human-made space objects in Earth orbit is some 13,000 tonnes. That’s about the same mass as 90 adult male blue whales. About one third of this mass is debris (4,300 tonnes), mostly in the form of leftover rocket bodies."

Monitoring Australia’s endangered species
while logging their habitats

Scent dogs are being replaced by cost-effective biomonitoring of threatened species. Technology will detection chemical signals of wildlife assemblages in the environment. " Little did we know that traces of wildlife presence float in the air and can be detected through traces of DNA."

Will the air sampling techniques operate with the pollution of heavy logging machinery to detect the scent of a koala or a glider? Will it cut through the thick smoke from (bush) fires that follow? Will traffic pollution allow allow the technology to pick up the airborne eDNA?

Premiering on Wednesday at Kiaf SEOUL

Empty Fields is a sound + movement performance exploring the shift of diversity from the #biosphere to the #technosphere, as #ai exponentially increases digital artefacts and simultaneously draws resources from a world in #ecological crisis.

I become a hyperdimensional traveller spinning sound worlds into the air.

Here a few impressions from today’s rehearsal.
