"I like to call them "NSA security cameras". -E14N
I've been thinking and talking about whether it's better to ignore technologies I don't like, or to publicly express distain for them. In the case of Google Glass, I've come to the conclusion that it's more important to express how much I dislike these devices.
Why? Because they're an invasion of privacy. We have no idea when they're recording, and when they are not. There's a small but delusional group of Google users who insist on wearing them, even though (or perhaps because) it makes people around them uncomfortable.
If you roll into a bar wearing Google Glasses, and I'm sitting next to you, I will tell you that I think you're an idiot for wearing them. Whether or not it's true that all of your lifestreamed data is ending up in the NSA data center, I don't care.
Don't take pictures of me, or other people without their permission. This is just wrong.
And you wearing Google Glass is a problem.
If you see someone wearing these devices, say something. It's better to fight this in public, face to face, than ignore the problem. We do not want to wake up tomorrow in a world where everyone has been brainwashed into thinking it's acceptable to invade other people's privacy in this way.
Say why it bothers you. Say you're uncomfortable. Ask them directly to take them off.
There is nothing cool about these Googles. Let's make sure everyone knows this.

I agree @phaverkamp. I think that each of us must be free of the government, of the religion (without throw away our spirituality), of capitalism... We must live as humans, as lovers of humanity and lovers of the nature. I just don't liked the fact that you post an Amazon link. And thats why: http://stallman.org/amazon.html
I just used the amazon link because it was convienant ;)

Well, they might be an invasion of privacy. That certainly is something they can do. But at least you can see them. Pretty soon somebody is going to come up with something like this that you can't see.Mark Jaroski at 2013-07-26T20:16:53Z

Pumping from Arch Linux! Finally got it up and running on the Macbook Pro. pacman -Syu bitchz.

It was a lot of trouble to get it to boot. What we did for Gwen Bell's new box. Go to Walmart, get a Acer S3 ($393 plus tax) and put Arch on there. Boots in an instant. Macbook Pro took a hell of some fiddling. I'm tempted to offload it and get an Acer because I have so much built up resentment for Apple now.
Hell yeah! :) -

Are you all on Hyperboria? We're having a conversation about distributed social networking on socialno.de (accessible only on Hyperboria, another Internet set up using mesh networking). I mentioned pump.io as one possible solution to the problem.
Peer in and join the convo!

Haven't rejoined cjdns and hyperboria since reformatting my laptop. Mind peering me into the network? Alternatively, can you remind me of the IRC room?
Found it. #projectmeshnet on EFnet, in case anyone else is looking. -

Who should I be following on the Pump.io network?
Show all 6 replies
I would start with looking at your followers
If you have an identi.ca or other StatusNet site, I suggest you try the pump2status.net server to connect with existing friends. Making similar services for Google+, Tumblr, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook (probably in that order) is one of my highest priorities.Evan Prodromou at 2013-07-01T21:07:45Z

"Go to a Facebook profile, and ponder what we have now. Instead of having adventures into the great unknowns of the web, we instead now spend most of our time on social networks: boring, suburban gated communities, where everybody's "profile" looks exactly the same, and presents exactly the same content, in the same arrangement. Rarely do we create things on these networks; Instead, we consume, and report on our consumption. The uniformity and blandness rival something out of a Soviet bloc residential apartments corridor. And now adding to that analogy, we've found out that our government is actually spying on us while we're doing it, in ways the Stasi could only dream of. The web we have today is a sad, pathetic, consumption-oriented digital iron curtain, and we need to change that." - Kyle Drake on Neocities

I did not know you were interested in p2p social apps.
I am! I suppose it's the incentive I've used to improve my development skills. I got really frustrated last summer with centralized social, so I quit everything. And then I had no way to communicate with anyone. I'm very hopeful w/ Pump.io, and also exploring other ways distributed can come into being.
Second question: are you an Evan or an Everett?Evan Prodromou at 2013-05-09T20:03:25Z

Dualbooting Mac OS X and Ubuntu 12.04 on a Macbook Pro
Playing with Arch Linux on a virtual machine.
What's your setup?
6 of my 7 Linux boxes all run Arch and the loner runs Debian. And if I could put Arch on it, I would. ;)
Dualbooting Arch and Debian Lenny on my laptop. OpenBSD on the desktop.

Hey! How's it going?
Going good. Getting ready to eat pizza. :) And you?
@jpope watching The Wire. Took a bath. Trying to figure out how to get Arch Linux to take on my Macbook Pro without destroying the spacetime continuum.
Did you check the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook )? Could be some handy info there for you. -
