@FreePietje Re> Can't we fork #Firefox and fund it via the EU f.e.?I'd be curious to hear ideas on why this solution hasn't been picked, despite constant grumble.Is it being tried at the wrong scale? (thus far no entity of size of a state or bigger had picked it up)Are the democratic institutes not ripe enough to tackle it? Or not suit at all?Is it just too complex maybe for any meaningful solution?Questions is the only thing I have, alas not much in the way of answers.

@FreePietje EU is paltry in their tech policy. I remember a couple good things happen here, but for the most part it is ridiculous.

@kravietz Here's a nice show[1] on Svoboda portraying the structure of power in modern Russia as being rooted in the criminal oral tradition. Rule of law is a veil where as the real structure is similar to the rule of the strongest.It mentions, couple intriguing books [2][3].1: https://www.svoboda.org/live/audio/81/325498502: Bálint Magyar, Post-Communist Mafia State: The Case of Hungary3: Svetlana Stephenson, Gangs of Russia: From the Streets to the Corridors of Power

@kravietz I've skipped all the quotes so as to not spoil a good sleep with this crap.Regarding their lore being brimful with strange racial theories, aliens, etc.—I keep hearing this from a huge number of people, there needs to be an extensive anthropological and sociological treatise on these nut jobs.All of 'siloviki', starting with Putin and Shoigu are imbued with this freaky ideology.{anthropo,socio}logists, hmu, let's dig these freaks.

@kravietz Hackneyed back alley thugs who never did acid but long for a lofty ideology to hinge their nasty ideas upon, that's my take on it thus far.It's only fitting that Medinsky's latest history text book rerefences 'День опричника', a grim satire on Ivan Grozny's opricnhinks adapted for almost present time, Masonic conspiracy wannabees playing ar games :).

@kravietz I guess they're good, but I prefer to shirk direct exposure to the sarcasm and grim narratives of theirs so as to not get scathed more than I'd been already.Or in strict academic environments with proper safety measures.Cheers!

@kravietz @pergus By accident I ended up using [1] as a bedtime story for lack of better options. It's a commentary by prominent media charlatan Solovei who sells his sweet lies of Putin being dead and the whole show ran by a tight clique. This takes place at a channel of a writer and journalist who vowed the other day to nether spread lies and would make fun of religion with academic grade zeal.That's to show how the narratives spill over into the broader society.1: https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=zcoYZWQEAwE

@kravietz Ain't my most loved writers, but surely some of the finest beacons of decency and integrity to bear a Russian passport.Just last week one AST publishing house suspended distribution of Bykov's work, making his works look attain the worthy status of being near impossible to get hold of in print within Russia.

@kravietz Agreed, I doubt there remain any publisher within Russia worth giving one's money to. Maybe one or two exceptions to confirm the general rule.

@kravietz I'm certainly labeling every single speech of his into rhetorical performance category.Even among politicians who's tools are only-part rational, Putin does stand out as a prominent outlier. If there where any good in it, I could compile all his speeches highlighting the numerous half-truths, barefaced lies and all the other manipulative twists coming up with a dazzling document lustrous enough to work as a Christmas tree at the gates of Kremlin.

@adrianfellhauer You can not have peaceful faring in the face of belligerent neighbor. That means that defeating invading Russia is a prerequisite for bringing about peace.

@adrianfellhauer What do you mean 'remaining'? All of it needs proper protection from the megalomaniac Putin.

@adrianfellhauer Cut that crap. If you feel so generous, give up Putin a chunk of your country, just to bring about peace.

@czerwiec That sounds nice. I don't know Polish, but if this is the infinitive form, maybe it'd be better to use the analog of the present continuous plural form (if that's a thing) to keep the mood of the original. @8petros

@NGIZero That's a lovely mission. Though I can't shake the feeling that you're trying to foster the people's internet with a venture capitalist's toolbox.A practical question if you don't mind:> independent software engineers and researchers who develop digital commonsShouldn't tools for the commons be built in more collaborative environments? Following Conway's law, the systems we build replicate the organizational structure that built them.@EU_Commission

@NGIZero Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm dying to know if you've considered some cooperation with the two biggest community networks, Guifi.net and Freifunk?These two endeavors had been the more prominent beacons of building digital infrastructure for the people (and for the most part by the people too). They must be having tonnes of knowledge and practice in building networks with the similar ethos.Seems like a blistering of synergy to be had. @EU_Commission

Sweet! Gracias, @NGIZero. Will need to familiarize myself with APC yet. And budge the Freifunk to join in given the opportunity :). @APC @EU_Commission
