Comment on Public vs private luxury: why are we so willing to accept that we can’t have nice things? by John Wade
https://tangledbankblog.wordpres...You connect so many of the things I've been reading about over the last few weeks and in such a readable way. I finished Less is More by Jason Hickel, while it Italy. The British media love to mock Italy, but it has so much bigger, broader commons than we do. Scooter and bike hire schemes seem to thrive. The bus and train networks. Car free city centres at weekends. Free open air film screenings. Large, well staffed libraries.
Britain is fast becoming the US with ever more extreme inequality, depleted public services, and an isolated, divided, unhealthy population fed consumerism and selfishness by the organs of the powerful.

https://tangledbankblog.wordpres...The future is federated: my first week (back) on Mastodon
https://tangledbankblog.wordpres...Mastodon is a federated social network - unlike Twitter or Facebook say, which is run by one company, it's easiest to think of Mastodon as a tool like email. There are a number of different servers or "instances" where your data (your account details, the contents of your posts, the timestamps of your activity, the cute picture you took of your cat fighting your slippers) are stored, there are a number of different apps or clients you can use to access these data the same way you could access the same email account through Apple mail on your iPhone or Outlook on your work PC or Gmail on an Android phone, and Mastodon is the set of instructions that allows them all to talk to one another.
