The fact that "far beyond" in the previous sentence represents a source of inspiration for desires manufactured in future it's nothing we should worry about now, rather than exploit it if we'll ever learn how to do that. said that, we agree none of us wants to let those lovely i-phone rubbers drown (let's say you convinced me to stop provoking myself to care less) but also we cannot devolve our life fighting a symmetrical war with armies of (paid) ergonomists and mind-blasting adverts. > I don't see any GNU people collecting patterns and tracking > end users in order to deploy those insights into spreading the > GNU-deology.

Their attention is captured and tamed, and monitored for > deviation (the Inquisition was a very expensive and inefficient way > of ensuring compliance.) in times when we are starting to "insure our relevance", the worst threat is actually deviation from our own perception. the process behind the definition of the GNU Social platform (previously discussed on this list, as daisychain was criticized for its architecture) gives some interesting hints on how this phenomenon can be avoided (or not); right after the nettime thread some of us started interacting with the GNU Social project and this document came out, as a willful contribution so that it doesn't just ends being yet another tool to monitor people's leisure activities http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/User:Hellekin/A_User_Perspective_Of_GNU_Social still an early draft deserving more research, it defines "forgotten" User Perspectives that can well work as eye openers, in the hope that the next time the shit hits the fan in places like Italy, Iran or China we won't have to rely on Twitter and Facebook as surrogates for free speech tools. ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJL4/e/AAoJEAslGzkIl3JRvL4gAJrd2r/4MgVlZZhEKJu0iPD1 uVeDq97aCuEYLE3U/SraGAKESHAIiSRW2VyGfj7RG90WW9ibrvjTFJDEXNQDPw2N rK9PwljfU2rbxmpIdt6DOfLyJ4mf8zTjyvUm1Isg4ww+6S5zngQKkAWJKE31OzKo lNJdL2DHuA4WF6/T4UVHzK7O7NXpX/eOilw2W28PalHcPaNBqhydFi7a+KMNbnyI jG/LH8hzIoaH7t9mNCrAKUeeGDAiIuNfUlxMQEzG9rxu53JR/ZcTPGwIM7rraBhq kCyFT155ZpndN86bNVETtx7pABlpOTk1mgQ8AppgDwYT7v8XMkyL92cZ2tb4PPDM nvQl/jqsz5FNSt/Ze+MJV+OmACWNtTdyaLTepI6F678oa4w1oBB6NGBvbd9XolZr YoeLu9adk+rPvB8XSpqUmVq/trsmX8FebedlAUPEbbw9TZsjxBw1PwZjFbr9lKKR EDYabuqV3RqB8oiaUdx/5k5LB21Xv5XTmsbMVFdqqIi6jslO98R0ADMy7yVaedeY 5TI4zxQn3W9bd8FApwbNeSwhQJzez+snI450izUG29sk2vPHEiXUcgj/oGCRm8aN tvLjBcg1Ye9qx3DuGKvgfbNsjaXhCcjrpyoZJ8T1NTAnYzizEbcSYLGeODXnySaW D6AHW5UXkrAkBWdUbE6DvDtw6CG1Y2cSdNBnRE4jA0LRMEdud+wJQsXPzuUke9Ol T2gFQau3CcsPEbtg5DjRX9VoQckZbvOaE32sCpgV9XXuu/vZKpUm78UO4n3dSItY NJNe1FZbn9g8L8uGFpkqEfHA0IlM87AiBzDdP01iNvxsR2gQBbZTuM2uDLasTvYN ztmoXKLEm0qNrdkSoPTj+NjLatJIY8i69BI1xvjNmq2WFZylgrCiHB6zbdKuyeyB 5MBB4UTIMQl8bz1ai+FrwqAi4EJcTXYSmJirnbiz7GMWtWeFuGcu4FHtu77QZXmR Ff4jkCevwjQLL+ijotALSrZE82I3ai6waiXLwPxU5UhRplYnjgdbHr3Ip1gdK2sl BxnwdA/3oBPyywoHdcco74YT4796gr+xwsKmWT55xKol3vAzQ/yOvl4cGmH7LSWW Nyzuw4NWotBUFrFee/DW6S3KWX+EfoIXQqyH2deRfK9CJ1Hv9r1ZJaalSIe8JEK1 tgy5Selyh15dvIOjNgobr/iEZMFRXaf7Lku/6Pt0DVj1HO9QmCnlZ6tPviTWPSs9 qgK2wZ4nCcal3tj1qAE7ZKQoTBwETX4F7+zg+aKzIx7rNvTunuXQbh/7UqaevRLU kMpMnAo501E8nZQxOrrvQqgRIl90O9hjQnHCwGLMnG/DKbKfMw33E0jAcSn5kq8= =pVlk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
