In the UK and I largely agree.

We've seen powerful people can get away with things so there will need to be a bulletproof case against him for anything to hold. Building in mitigations for that is a good thing, even if I think it should be targeting the wider systemic issues not just one loser.

Not quite development but 3D modelling, there is a really clear split between old threads and more modern ones because a lot of the advice is "it doesn't matter" or "use nanite" whereas in older threads I find esoteric knowledge that I treasure.

God I hate Malcolm McLaren and the sex pistols

Iirc the Spanish and Ukrainian anarchists were doing a good job of that while fighting off fascists and monarchists before the communists stabbed them in the back.

Also the Zapatistas have some territories and practice direct democracy.

My line is you can use force, organised even, but don't give the state a tool that can, and historically has been, turned on you

Great plan!!

I'm doing similar, I've got a router to start playing around with and I'm waiting to order another. Once I've got it working my immediate goal is free WiFi for the flats I live in with gateways through mine and my friends isp, using different lines for redundancy while figuring out how to get more people on board.

I'm in Wales but if you're nearby it would be cool to link up and discuss at somepoint

It looks like meshtastic/meshcore is the easiest entry point depending on what has more nodes in your area, as far as I can tell it's just messaging but the barrier to entry is really low if you wanted to play around with it

My most recent lil obsession/project has been to see how doable getting the start of a community mesh network going would be. I want the internet to live up to its decentralised promise but that means actually decentralising it.

Caring about your neighbours and spending time with them is literally the first step to creating a better world. The powers that be most definitely do care about community resilience because it makes them harder to control.

Isn't it the US that levelled a residential block for similar?

There's been talk about re-opening the mines in Wales too and I'm sat here like why?? We already export more power, water and other resources than we get back and building nuclear plants on those sites would likely do more to lower costs of power

This is exactly why I've been trying to move over to the fediverse a bit, I feel like it tries to live up to some of the promises of the early net.

Authoritarianism applies to both sides, and the middle. Fascism is a right wing authoritarian ideology.
