The industrial agricultural production gives tasteless fruits and vegetables, besides being poor in nutrients. Until then I thought it was just the inexorable result of aiming at economic efficiency. Then I started to doubt. May there be, beyond least cost production, an intention to degrade the taste of unprocessed food? Are we pushed to industrial cuisine, augmented with salt, sugars and addictive additives? The more I think about it, the less naive I feel. #food #health

Ultimately, freedom is having your time at your disposal. If learning and using freedom tech requires too much time, doesn't it become alienating too? Many people will actually find more freedom in using proprietary tech because it gives them the most direct access to the free use of their time. Until their attention gets stolen of course.

Do you know any music player on Android that would be open source, manage multi genres on tracks and tag edition? Auto / "smart" playlists would be great too. GoneMAD was the only one I found which does all of this but it is not open source and switched from a paying model to a free with ads model. So I'm reluctant to update it... #asknostr #opensource #music

My little hobby is there again! View quoted note →

I like to explore the road that could lead to anarchy. Here is a fisrt and short draft of how I see things now, this is an invitation to thoughts and oppositions. From where I am, capitalism does not answer, because of the accumulation of capital that equates to accumulation of power. Communism as we have seen it (rather state capitalism or state monopoly) does not answer because of the centralised control that equates to centralised power. So the central question is how to prevent the accumulation and centralisation of power. My current thoughts point to a balance between a pool of commons and private property while offering freedom to all. Commons would include at a basic layer things that support life and society for everyone (land and its resources including water, air, open source softwares). They should be administered democratically through direct democracy or random draw for representatives. Local scale and multi-layer is important for decentralisation, focus and competition among jurisdictions (communes, counties, drainage basins...) that could decide to create new common or not via public services they want. Revenue generated from conmons could replace taxation and fund basic incomes to eliminate poverty, prevent enslavement and guarantee people could pay for sustaining commons. Private property would be for everything else (buildings, companies...), and would be de facto limited by not being able to appropriate commons, and by introducing a balance with an usage property (through cooperativism or in between models). This is important to avoid once again the concentration of assets, thus power. Free markets and competition among democratic entities and privately owned businesses would "regulate" all of this. #anarchism #capitalism #communism #utopia
