Do you know of any self-organized, bottom-up, locally-rooted educational organizations?

I am asking this because I am talking intensely with @ceci about ideas and dreams we have for our home city, #Sanremo, Italy.

We are both coming to the conclusion that an autonomous, independent, cooperative, critical, and deeply rooted university is one of the very very few projects that could give young people in the area a real chance not to emigrate.

As we are also both deeply in love with fringe academia, it would also be the only reason for us to somehow maintain a bond with our homeland.

Please, boost and share this, and send us any kind of suggestions! We particularly welcome Italian initiatives.

Excellent and detailed FT piece this week on the £100,000 "childcare trap".

If someone earns £99,999 and claims the Governments childcare subsidies, then a £1 pay rise can *cost them* £20,000.

in reply to Dan Neidle

They don't get back to where they were until their gross wages reach £145k.

So in this situation it's not rational for someone just under £100k to accept a pay rise/promotion, work more hours, take on more clients etc, unless it puts them well clear of £100k

Git, Fastfetch and Nala or yay depending if I am in Debian or Arch.

Court hearing centers on Newsmax CEO's role in spreading election-fraud claims


Newsmax is being sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems — the same company that sued Fox News over false 2020 election-fraud claims and walked away with a nearly $800 million settlement.

I know things are bad on the open web…but it could get even worse. Imagine any of these scenarios:

1. What if the Internet Archive got shut down after all those lawsuits. Ref: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

2. What if Google suddenly stopped high-ranking Wikipedia links. Ref: mastodon.social/@ricmac/114205…

3. What if the next generation of internet users doesn’t read and so short looping videos *completely* take over. Ref: overcast.fm/+AA1Ledu9mbc

Scary times. All we can is continue to support #openweb.

I’ve also been pondering this: it’s really fecking difficult these days to get linked to by other websites. Back when I started an unknown blog called ReadWriteWeb in 2003, I was able to grow ‘domain authority’ via backlinks and trackbacks from other blogs (some more well known). But since blogging has all but disappeared now, and people ‘comment’ on things via social media, nobody actually links back to you anymore. Which means hard to grow PageRank etc. Anyway, yet another open web challenge.


I wrote about this last year too - saying that we were spending hundreds of millions on meticulous inquiries and then wasting the learning by not implementing recommendations www.bmj.com/content/386/...

What is the point of inquiries...
