Fostering worker-owned cooperatives as legitimate business models at scale would also improve conditions.<br/><br/>Mistreatment by the public I&#39;m less sure about. My understanding is that people abuse retail employees because they&#39;re perceived as &#34;low status&#34; and aren&#39;t allowed to retaliate, so authoritarian shitbags who need to punch down to make themselves feel better take the opportunity to abuse them because they&#39;re easy targets. <br/><br/>Part of this is a cultural problem, because we live in a social structure dominated by hierarchies in most arenas.<br/><br/>Still, giving employees the agency to refuse service or expel customers who mistreat them could be an answer here. Worker-ownership, unionization, these could help on that front.<br/><br/>I&#39;m less confident about regulatory approaches directly impacting this. 2024-10-25T11:01:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsptr8t7k2564w0dmnux3w9n8pu593kp5eak5ddxat4kz6zfc4gpvgzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vca00a9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw9sua3cs892eq9af5f8vrpvegaf5y7jtg45lt64ekvfmvvra6eaq0tq30z'>nevent1q…q30z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>mistreatment by management, or mistreatment by the public? 2024-10-25T10:47:44Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs03wmhe98dc9ayswjp5sysxklmtg2wx680p38d6ectm2tajzck05qzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0v2q0ylu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszpyujfjwv5er6zlygvkvj2qeumj7fwhqexvcmn7hfgjssnalux0g6mgz32'>nevent1q…gz32</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>a morsel of context, please sir 2024-10-24T12:51:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyxuu66kqra6zvwsuwaau7mkr7t953l95lvhtwxxkee05h44t9drqzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vd05t7v In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsda0hhf00r785hedy98h5sxz26h0qtv9v6jg08thg6d2aqrajccmqf7v724'>nevent1q…v724</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>y are u on threads tho 2024-10-21T15:05:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0gemke03y45x39mu8eznsxpvp6ywdx6e2acme82c35gd45rnn53gzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vngjt04 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqsrcgsqrv3l6drjvum6v7cm2equm9ys9j84duyd2u3re9qsns6rcdvew25'>nevent1q…ew25</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what a fucking goon 2024-10-11T00:24:44Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfh6d4vmcuq3v3dl793fhf6x6e0klqk8l4wmh7a70ccykm40zgphszyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vl568gy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfgenpedk8lhm79gsdd2etmhtjrsyz3xx6mj5tmugahd9u3tfm6dsffuhs4'>nevent1q…uhs4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Kevin it&#39;s 55 2024-09-24T12:14:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqxl6feey4qgc5vxvhj9d5eue2qsx3jcqfsk00wdps3taukelrdcszyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vjmue9x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2x6jl39la0mt9qd28m68w45ctffxwmny4ptm0q0pa3w0thy2c8zscehtzx'>nevent1q…htzx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Zoning governs a lot about what can be built where in the city. When I went to go look at the zoning regulations, what caught my eye is that there is a LOT of language about specific industries that are not allowed to operate in the City of Cambridge. Things like slaughterhouses, glue factories, smelters, etc. etc. <br/><br/>&#34;Zoning because racism&#34; is a reductive answer. Yes, there&#39;s zoning ordnances in place that reinforce racist and classist hierarchies in the city, but also, there&#39;s some amount of urban governance that happens through zoning that makes it so that we&#39;re not all constantly choking on the stench of rotting beef offal and smoke from brickyards. <br/><br/>Now, there&#39;s a separate discussion to be had about &#34;Well, we need bricks, so where are they coming from if zoning says we can&#39;t make them here?&#34; and I think that&#39;s an important discussion. Again, it&#39;s more expansive than &#34;racism.&#34; 2024-09-23T18:39:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf99uxvd2xt47vsk8tax8c0qua6fe6k2447sj23qy2zx2rw9j9dxgzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0v3jh9nz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgttj68vmux7nvzzxcptpq94dk7gysgkyalz9x2ucsl99ml9ep7ecqmsp4d'>nevent1q…sp4d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I mean, listen, not to defend the NIMBYs but like, I don&#39;t want glue factories or aluminum smelters or coal-fired power plants operating next to where my kids go to school either 2024-09-23T16:16:05Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx574juu25vhx57zalaue93ltln3pfgmk6ztr45xgxk8aec3erv0gzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0v35gdyc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswzwkcxexa7548f99mdumyqt5ntfy0dv87stnrk70cc6d3anv3fkcqpcx09'>nevent1q…cx09</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Honey Pot Hill Orchard in Stow<br/><br/>You can get them sugar-coated or Boring For Kevin 2024-09-12T02:29:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw08jwujcmggqckj6pqhnwgt9cx692a2teg203vegu98k5ededxxgzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vq8jhxn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgx0q2rcvkfe55n9cn4nas8l3e2p7k5pdg56cnkrc0mr8ejkkcyggl2ztan'>nevent1q…ztan</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>i think these are terrible, for ideological reasons, but probably not the one you&#39;d expect 2024-09-10T00:16:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfdhmk2mc7z3jrc70u9w6x0ncmf7v0htlme28qfu83rduvdpp793szyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0veqefr7 This Cohost situation sounds pretty unfortunate, having been done in by Stripe changing their policies. <br/><br/>Listen, and I mean this sincerely, what if we started paying attention to online payment systems that aren&#39;t gatekept by a handful of processors?

Or is there a workaround that accomplishes the same thing, e.g., RSS to email service? <br/><br/>I have a nextcloud server - should I just use the News app?<br/><br/>#rss #foss #selfhosting #thunderbird #firefox #opensource #nextcloud 2024-08-22T11:13:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0trs3thdzxruva8k6e7nq6k6u228x0eg627g82fa28m72r6z4gaszyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vc79v5e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2r9xz8dayrylahlh7ahdeeqnk834sgc53uf2f3hzfrzhstekk2gq8jvqtf'>nevent1q…vqtf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yo dawg, we heard you like Linux, so we put Linux in your Windows, so you can <br/>*kernel panic* while you *blue screen of death* 2024-08-21T18:52:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0u4nhz6420zjn9x6ejqma9y59caujq9jmvemypy5xr8z5pag4wnczyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0v8r9vcw I&#39;m running a few Tor relays and a Signal proxy, partly as a reason to learn tech skills, partly as my civic responsibility as someone who believes in a free and private internet.<br/><br/>Any suggestions for what else I should spin up? <br/><br/>Here&#39;s what I&#39;ve been considering doing next:<br/>* SearXNG<br/>* Radicle<br/>* IPFS<br/><br/>#privacy #tor #signal #lunarpunk #devops #searxng #radicle #ipfs #censorship 2024-08-18T21:43:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0259znrz5klfwvd24zfaqd0903ueg0h9k6llgeh4phwtwpcvsl8gzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vyvm3m7 <img src="https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/977/718/822/090/974/original/096a1a04bbbfc593.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-17T14:00:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg6t95zz7z4faagtayvagezrett5yjfhjuf2shw5j6anu9k7elxqgzyzvz96c79gkgm0gtdvlywqn9389dx8mxsqwp6pe5636ysz2mdzh0vgqs7ju Hey folx, realized I still owe an #introduction. So (mario voice) here we go:<br/><br/>My handle means &#34;serious business.&#34; I&#39;m always hopeful. I&#39;m rarely optimistic. <br/><br/>What I&#39;m working on:<br/>* Studying #cybersecurity as someone without a computer science background<br/>* Self-hosting more of the tools I use, particularly as a means of -<br/>* Opting out of surveillance capitalism tech platforms (you know the ones)<br/><br/>I&#39;m a big fan of these things and you can expect me to toot about them:<br/>* solidarity, mutual aid, organized labor, cooperative economics, and community defense<br/>* #privacy and privacy self-defense tools like Signal, Tor, Cwtch, and GPG / PGP<br/>* #FOSS, especially the more accessible #linux distros like Debian<br/>* #solarpunk and #lunarpunk as incongruent and complementary ideals<br/><br/>Here&#39;s some things that are a meaningful part of my life, that you probably won&#39;t see me toot about: parenting, weightlifting, software product management, firearms, PC gaming, LARP, business, finance, positive nihilism, MApoli, CambMA<br/><br/>Here&#39;s what I think I can offer you:<br/>* I&#39;ve worked for all different kinds of organizations, ranging from big tech, little tech, governments, to DAOs<br/> * for better or for worse, I know a lot about #cryptocurrency, particularly #ethereum, #bitcoin, and #monero<br/>* I&#39;ve been a software product manager for a while now, which means I help teams ship software that does what users need - mostly through prioritization, facilitation, and communication<br/>If there&#39;s anything in my background that would be useful to you, please reach out. I&#39;m happy to share.<br/><br/>One last thing - a message to fascists, TERFs, dominionists, abusers, and every other variety of petty authoritarian desperate for an excuse to control others: fuck you, y&#39;all gonna lose 2023-01-22T15:38:32Z
