Hi! there will be an OFFDEM meeting at the same time as FOSDEM (February 1st and 2nd), "at a location close to the traditional FOSDEM venue"!
An intersectional festival about collective practices & free technologies production.
Conceived as the Off festival of FOSDEM, OFFDEM aims to attract producers and users of free technologies (free software, open source hardware) at the margin of FOSDEM, which is the world’s largest gathering of free software and open-source developers. OFFDEM is set to happen, like FOSDEM, on the first week-end of February, in Brussels, at a location close to the traditional FOSDEM venue. Why OFFDEM: https://ps.zoethical.org/t/why-offdem/2867 FOSDEM Fringe event announcement: https://ps.zoethical.org/t/fosdem-fringeannouncement/3136
Directions: https://ps.zoethical.org/t/directions-to-offdem/3205

Schedule: https://ps.zoethical.org/t/offdem-activities/3204

Damn teenagers and their technology

When you buy a fig tree, there's a knock on your door that midnight. Nobody is there but a small leather book wrapped in plain paper is sitting on the ground. The pages all appear blank. But on the morning that the figs ripen, words appear reading "No one in the world thinks they taste good either. But never forget: You are part of the secret now, and we know where you live."

It's frustrating when young people are so conservative about techniques. The school system often pushes a certain kind of conformity and from the other side the job market often instills the idea that one needs to have "skills" that can be reduced to standardized techniques. For me that means that a lot of 19-year-olds think I'm a crazy heretic when I suggest that you can make a compelling image without using a particular product from the Adobe Corporation.

C'est déjà demain !

"Vice Magazine ... claimed a written agreement with a Mainland Chinese woman barring discussion of her sexual orientation and relationships was not “legally binding” so therefore could be ignored"

Holy shit, #vice.

Literally copied that idea from the @screenless office by @KnowPresent and "sold" it to Google.

Assange in Court.

I was deeply shaken while witnessing yesterday’s events in Westminster Magistrates Court. Every decision was railroaded through over the scarcely heard arguments and objections of Assange’s legal team, by a magistrate who barely pretended to be listening.
