WhiteSave.me enables White men to help non-Whites to succeed in life without disrupting existing systems and long-standing traditions.
j’ai particulièrement aimé ce témoignage d’un WhiteSavior :
When I read that only 1% of CEOs are Black, I made sure to do a little research on Mark Zuckerberg so I could talk to some of these inner city kids about him. I’m pretty sure he didn’t finish college, and look at him now—he fast tracked it right to the top. So I got to thinking—if we just teach these kids to code, they’ll be starting companies in no time.
et la solution offerte à un Savee du tiers-monde :
Nderu, age 41, learned how to avoid slow onset disaster in rural Kenya with innovative hydroponic crops through a Freemium SMS chat with Topher in Brooklyn, New York.

RFC 1288 : The Finger User Information Protocol
Il y a bien longtemps, dans l’Internet, toutes les machines Unix connectées au réseau avaient un serveur #finger. Ce protocole permettait d’obtenir des informations sur les utilisateurs de cette machine, à la fois de l’information statique (leur numéro de téléphone, le numéro de leur bureau à l’université...) mais aussi de l’information dynamique (est-ce qu’ils sont connectés ou pas, actifs ou pas, quand ont-il lu leur courrier pour la dernière fois, ...) Aujourd’hui, on utiliserait Facebook pour cela mais, dans les années 80 et 90, pour se renseigner sur un collègue ou un confrère, on se servait de finger. L’importance croissante donnée à la vie privée a petit à petit conduit au démantelement de cet utile service (remplacé, on l’a vu, par de gros silos de données qui sont bien pires, notamment parce que l’information n’est pas sous le contrôle de l’utilisateur). Finger, normalisé dans ce #RFC, n’a plus aujourd’hui qu’un intérêt historique.

Telekommunisten
►http://telekommunisten.netChaque visiteur de la transmediale 2013 était obligé de passer au milieu du dernier produit des Telekommunisten, un groupe d’artistes berlinois. Il occupaient toute la salle centrale aus Haus der Kulturen der Welt avec leur interprétation du pneumatique symbole des technologies du passé - accessibles et compréhensibles comme le train miniature électrique. Ils sont également les auteurs d’un manifeste pour le 21ème siecle :
The Telekommunist Manifesto ▻http://media.telekommunisten.net/manifesto.pdf
Competing software makers, like arms manufacturers, play both sides in this conflict: providing the tools to impose control, and the tools to evade it.
The non-hierarchical relations made possible by a peer network, such as the internet, are contradictory with capitalism’s need for enclosure and control. It’s a battle to the death; either the internet as we know it must go, or capitalism as we know it must go. Will capital throw us back into the network dark ages of CompuServe, mobile telephones and cable tv rather than allow peer communi cations to bring about a new society? Yes, if they can.
Marx concludes, ‘no social order ever perishes before all the productive forces for which there is room in it have developed; and new, higher relations of production never appear before the material conditions of their exis tence have matured in the womb of the old society itself’.
The Telekommunist Manifesto is an exploration of class conflict and property, born from a realization of the primacy of economic capacity in social struggles. Emphasis is placed on the distribution of productive assets and their output. The interpretation here is always tethered to an understanding that wealth and power are intrinsically linked, and only through the former can the latter be achieved. As a collective of intellectual workers, the work of Telekommunisten is very much rooted in the free software and free culture communities. However, a central premise of this Manifesto is that engaging in software development and the production of immaterial cultural works is not enough.
The communization of immaterial property
alone cannot change the distribution of material productive assets, and therefore cannot eliminate exploitation; only the self-organization of production by workers can.About the author ►http://telekommunisten.net/the-telekommunist-manifesto
Dmytri Kleiner is a software developer working on projects that investigate the political economy of the internet, and the ideal of workers’ self-organization of production as a form of class struggle. Born in the USSR, Dmytri grew up in Toronto and now lives in Berlin. He is a founder of the Telekommunisten Collective, which provides internet and telephone services, as well as undertakes artistic projects that explore the way communications technologies have social relations embedded within them.

Dmytri est interviewé ici et explique notamment à quoi sert #thimbl (à démonter la fiction économique qui veut qu’il fallait une plateforme privée comme pour organiser la communication entre les gens, alors que l’#internet comme plateforme publique le permettait dès les années 90)

Privacy, Moglen, ioerror, #rp12 « @dmytri - Venture Communist
►http://www.dmytri.info/privacy-moglen-ioerror-rp12Dmytri Kleiner, à l’origine de #thimbl ( que j’ai découvert ici : ►http://seenthis.net/messages/17652) à propos de Eben Moglen et de l’initiative #FreedomBox.
The trajectory that Moglen is using has centralized social media as the starting point and distributed social media as the place we are moving toward. But in actual fact, distributed social media is where we started, and centralized platforms are where we have arrived.
The Internet is a distributed social media platform. The classic internet platforms that existed before the commercialization of the web provided all the features of modern social media monopolies.
Platforms like Usenet, Email, IRC and Finger allowed us to do everything we do now with Facebook and friends. We could post status updates, share pictures, send messages, etc. Yet, these platforms have been more or less abandoned. So the question we need to address is not so much how we can invent a distributed social platform, but how and why we started from a fully distributed social platform and replaced it with centralized social media monopolies.In the meantime, we have many clever and dedicated people contributing to inventing alternative platforms, and these platforms can be very important and worthwhile for the minority that will ever use them, but we do not have the social will nor capacity to bring these platforms to the masses, and given the dominance of capital in our society, it’s not clear where such capacity will come from.
As surveillance and control is enforced by the powerful interests of capital, privacy and autonomy become a question of power and privilege, not just consumer choice.-
Excellent ! @dmytri est sur #seenthis.
+ plein de choses à lire ici : ►http://telekommunisten.net
à commencer sans doute par : ►http://telekommunisten.net/the-telekommunist-manifestoIn the age of international telecommunications, global migration and the emergence of the information economy, how can class conflict and property be understood? Drawing from political economy and concepts related to intellectual property, The Telekommunist Manifesto is a key contribution to commons-based, collaborative and shared forms of cultural production and economic distribution.
Venture communism
Proposing “venture communism” as a new model for workers’ self-organization, Kleiner spins Marx and Engels’ seminal Manifesto of the Communist Party into the age of the internet. As a peer-to-peer model, venture communism allocates capital that is critically needed to accomplish what capitalism cannot: the ongoing proliferation of free culture and free networks.
Copyfarleft
In developing the concept of venture communism, Kleiner provides a critique of copyright regimes, and current liberal views of free software and free culture which seek to trap culture within capitalism. Kleiner proposes copyfarleft, and provides a usable model of a Peer Production License.
Encouraging hackers and artists to embrace the revolutionary potential of the internet for a truly free society, The Telekommunist Manifesto is a political-conceptual call to arms in the fight against capitalism.

Cela semble très intéressant. Le principal point que j’ai noté est qu’ils affirment bien haut qu’ils ne font rien de nouveau : l’Internet a toujours été un réseau social et Usenet, le courrier et IRC [ils auraient pu citer XMPP aussi, NDLR] sont bien plus avancés techniquement que Facebook et twitter, puisqu’ils permettent l’interaction distribuée depuis longtemps.
Fort logiquement, leur système repose donc sur des technologies distribuées existantes, #SSH et #finger.
À noter également une très juste critique de #status.net, qui n’est pas une vraie fédération (chacun peut installer son instance de status.net, comme le fait identi.ca mais pas moyen de les faires interagir proprement puisque les identificateurs sont purement locaux). status.net est donc un recul par rapport au courrier ou à XMPP.
