    1. the fact that there are underlying geographic patterns at all is interesting
    2. Rather, it was about how maps can help us gain alternative perspectives on the world.
    3. Our aim is to demonstrate the always-existing intersections between our digital and material lives and spaces.
    4. All of that is to say that this essay is the outcome not only of the individuals who wrote it, but also of the places that we have inhabited throughout the process.

      Places as actants.

    5. on the societies, spaces, and places that are being mapped, and from which maps emerge
    6. this essay focuses
    7. We also want to challenge people to think deeply about space, construct maps that demonstrate an awareness of social contexts, and critique these very same maps.
    8. And yes, the fact that it is easier to make stuff up rather than do actual work is another lesson.

      Ideas are cheap.

    1. There are many other questions. Of course existing systems on the earth may be very much influenced by the geographical reality of a two-dimensional surface. Historical groups have been nested geographically. So though there may be aspects in which community size is scale-free, that maybe a completely different optimisation problem from the one we have when on the Internet anyone can connect to anyone. If you could devise an algorithm for connecting people into groups, and so that they each participated in communities of different sizes in a scale-free way, then how much more effective (at solving problems, etc) can you make a web-based society which ignores geographical borders? To what extent does humanity as currently connected by the web in fact deviate from geographical nesting anyway?
    1. I have some candidates in mind; here’s one I’d put money on — Van Jacobson’s new internet protocol is a really big deal. I realize it sounds like overreach to claim that “Named Data Networking” could be fundamental to addressing climate change — that’s my point — but my thought is, how could it not?

      That's basically what I have been trying to convey since about two years, but it's hard for me to find a suitable language.

    1. At the institutional level, there is a similar gap between setting up a Web service and requesting a domain name. For a Web service, all it takes is a phone call, but getting a site-specific DNS record looks like a long bureaucratic fight (I haven't tried yet).

      @gandhiano This is why we need to develop those federated socio-technical amalgrams as many Commons.

    1. und Etherpad-Sessions stellte

      Ich habe mir auch hier erlaubt ein paar Kommentare anzufügen.

    2. Ist es vielleicht sinnvoller, von der “Plattformgesellschaft” anstelle von der “Netzwerkgesellschaft” zu sprechen?

      Es erscheint mir schwierig eine topologische Eigenheit von Netzwerk/-en als hinreichend strukturierenden Prozess des-/derselben aufzufassen.

      Vielmehr böte es sich doch an die Partikularität und Atomisierung, welche von den beständigen Strömen zusammengehalten werden, zu betonen und danach zu fragen wie sich daraus eine Prozesshaftigkeit kollektiver Intentionalität ableiten ließe.

      Nicht?

    3. a condition of possibility for the very existence

      Now we're talking.

    4. Plattformbedingungen

      (1) Lassen sich diese in topologischen Begriffen fassen? Was kann quantifizielle Graphentheorie hier beitragen? Ab wann ist eine Super Node eine Platform?

      (2) Um auf die Tausend Plateaus zurückzukommen: Das Rhizom wurde ja nicht zufällig als epistemische Metapher angeboten, doch wie stellen sich differenzierte Phänomene in einem solch gleichartigen Raum dar? Es biedert sich vielleicht das Bild der Tausend Plateaus an. Einer Landschaft, in welcher die beständigen Bewegungen auch auf stabilisierte Ebenen treffen, von welchen sich vorzügliche Ausblicke auf andere bieten.

      Giddens?

    6. wenn populäre Apps Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung für breite Nutzerschichten

      Im genannten Artikel fällt es schwierig den Faden zu behalten, wenn jeder zweite Absatz mit Ich beginnt oder ein Buch erwähnt, dass ich (noch) nicht gelesen habe.

      Die Regulationsmacht wurde freudigerweise explizit anerkannt. Doch möchte ich weiterhin daran erinnern, dass gleichzeitig eine andere Plattform, die Web Platform, auf einem guten Wege ist - noch immer! - als starkes Beispiel für mustergültiges Ineinanderspielen von offenen Standards zu gelten.

      Nebenbei ist von daher der Appification unserer Kommunikationsmittel, und weiterer Aufspaltung, mit Argwohn zu begegnen.

    7. auch als eine Stabilisierungs- und Übersetzungsoption

      Hier schwingt mir Beaudrillards Auffassung von Regulation vor, ganz besonders im Gegensatz zu reinen Regeln. Dass die Fähigkeit, die Regeln zu verändern weitaus schwergewichtiger sei, als Regeln stumpf durchzusetzen. Mit welcher Gewalt auch immer.

    2. oder wieder

      Es bleibt zu wünschen, dass auch Gegenentwürfen genügend Raum eingeräumt wird, um die argumentative Balance zu halten und sich keinem Fatalismus hinzugeben.

      Ich fand einmal in einem kleinen Buch zur Geschichte der Schrift die Beschreibung der Donauzivilisation, einer verzweigten Netzwerkgesellschaft ohne hierarchische Institutionen, vor 7000 Jahren und schon mit Schrift ausgestattet.

    3. Welche Ideen und Vorstellungen vom Netzwerk gibt es und wie schaffen sie Realitäten?

      Vielleicht heißt es hier besser "von Netzwerken"? Andernfalls träumen die Autorinnen hier vom giant global graph. Denn wenn es ums Realitätenschaffen ginge, würde der eigentlichen Analyse eine weitreichende Betrachtung von Alternativen, föderierten Systemen folgen.

They may also be needed a t intermediary points so that, if problems have arisen, corrective measures can be taken. A milestone may be a critical decision point in the project where, for example, the consortium must decide which of several technologies to adopt for further developm ent.

    1. the original link has disappeared

      Actually it turns out we've had some kind of backup which brought at least the foundations back online.

      Happy to link back to it again!

    1. But emails are widely understood AKA: "Vanity domains are a very small minority of nerds. Email addresses have the widest common understanding by the average internet user." Decades ago email addresses were a very small minority of nerds, fax machines had a wider common understanding. Email addresses are a more well established technology, just like fax numbers used to be before that, and home landline phone numbers before that. Each was subsequently eclipsed. Email is simply the current such transitional legacy technology.

      You cannot imagine how much I regularly suffer due to being part of this "very small minority of nerds". Unfortunately the will not to learn about these different ways is very strong.

    1. Berlin

      Oh, again.

    2. The party in its original sense claims to articulate the general interest and will of the people. As an organizational form, the party is a sustainable structure that is here to stay regardless of its own fluctuations in the polls. But the party today is without passion and holds little relevance to people’s daily social lives and communication practices.

      This conclusion even accounts for the everyday rave in Berlin. A fatigue throughout devastated individuals is not to deny anymore.

    1. What social networks does this work with? Right now, if you have a website on Known, you can use Bridgy to collect social interactions from Facebook and Twitter.

      This is partly wrong. I know at least that @bnvk uses Bridgy together with Social Igniter.

      Therefore the paragraph could also mention the #IndieWeb itself.
