Morning all! I was supposed to join @screwlisp for their Lispy Gopher Show podcast yesterday but time zone differences meant I had to send a recording instead which they discussed with questions from their mud (yep, it’s a geeky community) :)

I touched on the history of computing, the current challenge to our human rights and democracy with technofascism, and how the Small Web is one attempt to safeguard our freedoms by creating a peer-to-peer web owned and controlled by everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing. (And the role of design and simplicity in making that possible.)

Anyway, here’s the full recording I sent (as it skips around a bit in the show):

And here’s the recording of the show itself with commentary by screwlisp and the community:

Thanks for having me on and sorry I couldn’t be there in person.

Where do you put all those weird scribblings? the framed face asks again. I ought remove her from this wall, relocate her to a basement drawer.

Ah, but that’s no way to treat an inquisitor, is it? I’ve no need to hide.

My poems mingle among the leaves of my most favourite trees, I answer. Seems a fine to me.🪶

(place)

Secure within these concrete walls
where truth gets filtered in
and power scrubbed
to remove undesirable elements

Reality gets sand blasted redacted
so our view is always crystal clear..

This ain't the #place for moral ambiguity..

No shades of gray to be found here..

Cause those who question
the refurbished orthodoxy
get exiled vanished
lest they cloud
our freshly regurgitated narrative..

Cause it's the objective
of the thought collective
never to be burdened
with even a hint of thought process
that could jeopardize
our precious opinion uniformity

Though deep down we all know
this fortress of ignorance
has always been a flimsy illusion..

When the alternate reality bubble bursts
soaked to the bone we will be..

Condemned universally
as the misled mutts of history

Dan pulled up outside Tom & Mia’s #place. The blinds were closed, which was normal. Mia always closed them. He called Tom. No answer. He didn’t want to knock on the door & alert their neighbours. What next?
He opened his phone. Why hadn’t he thought of that before? #vss365
