Anti-colonial tech: a conversation

Date: Friday 16 February 2024
Time: 18:30 - 20:00 CET
Location: Varia, Rotterdam (NL)

Deeply implicated in military and carceral operations, the infrastructures of The Cloud regime reinforce historical racist structures and support new forms of colonisation through digitised oppression. This public conversation brings together a network of networks that has been organising collectively towards systemic techno-political change for many years. The common desire across this constellation explores modes of resisting the financialised, extractive modes of Big Tech, who profit heavily from online activities on the platforms they provide, turning all content into commodity.

During the event, participants will share modest proposals for moving networks and political engagement away from toxic cloud environments. From Counter Cloud Action to Digital Discomfort and trans★feminist servers, the techno-disobedient practices they share will unsettle computationally mediated depletion, activating paths towards anti-colonial tech.

The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

I’ve a stupidly busy week coming up, so I’m starting it with a calming Daily #Wales in winter. Some mornings betoken spring - but though they look warm, they’re not.

The invention of the blue LED, one of the most difficult and important inventions ever – which allowed the white LED – is some of the craziest Chad shit I have ever heard about anything. This guy is pinnacle determination holy crap.

US media and elites want Trump to win and they want to profit off the chaos he'll cause. This isn't even a question.

Brb, starting a Nazi-punching mafia

@MisuseCase @CelloMomOnCars @fcktheworld587 @migriverat @RiaResists @504DR absolutely! The cost of plastic recycling should be paid for by a tax on plastic producers.

October 2023 was the warmest October on record.
November 2023 was the warmest November on record.
December 2023 was the warmest December on record.
January 2024 was the warmest January on record.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

A few short years ago who could even have imagined that Putin could control the United States of America. But here we are with the real possibility that through his proxies in the media, the Republican Party and Trump, Putin's control is closer to reality than ever before. Traitors make the untought-of possible.

Lots of men in tech
see women in tech either
as sexual tensions for their own enjoyment or as mentoring opportunities,
but never as their equals.

This needs to stop.

Israel-Gaza Conflict: February 10-11 (Recap)

1️⃣ EU foreign policy chief Borrell has joined leaders warning against the Israeli offensive on #Rafah, saying it would “lead to an unspeakable humanitarian catastrophe and grave tensions with #Egypt”.

2️⃣ “No choices remain” as 1.9 million Palestinians sheltering in densely populated Rafah receive evacuation orders, reports Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum in Rafah.

3️⃣ The head of the #WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says the reported Israeli detention of health staff and patients at al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis is “extremely concerning”.

4️⃣ #US Senator Sanders says military aid for Israel ‘unacceptable’ amid fears of Rafah catastrophe. “Does Congress really want to provide more military aid to Netanyahu so that he can annihilate thousands and thousands more men, women and children?”

5️⃣ Ireland’s foreign minister has condemned Israel’s planned assault on Rafah, warning it is certain to entail “grave violations of international humanitarian law.” “It is absolutely clear that a military operation in Rafah, which has effectively now become one of the largest and most overcrowded refugee camps in the world, would entail grave violations of international humanitarian law,” Micheál Martin said.

6️⃣ Irish MEP Clare Daly has called for an emergency conference of the EU Council to demand an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza and prevent the “murderous onslaught” facing one million Palestinians in Rafah. Daly, said it has been clear since the start of the war that Israel’s “end game was the permanent destruction of the Gaza Strip”

7️⃣ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu has asked the Israeli army to again recruit reservists for the planned Rafah ground operation.

At least 28,064 people including more than 11,500 children, have been killed and over 67,611 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.
