Hi there,
I'd be up for leading one on something like.
/Anarcho Primitivist Computer Club / Deep Dark Green Computing
/
For people who used to love the non-corporate nature of the early
Internet but now think the world would be a better place if we moved
towards turning them all off.
This would be a more welcoming / accessible version of the "/00's Open
Publishing News CMS Survivors group"/ that often used to happen on
Sundays at Hacktionlab.
It's the moving towards which is significant here, as I'll still use
them for a while. But leaning into more low power, low complexity ways.
AND spreading the word about that way of working too. I'm getting back
into doing community / youth workshops again so I want to bring this
retro way of doing things into that.
Here are some related ideas. But I suppose just applying the principles
of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology to current
situation.
- I really liked finding out about Tilde Club - https://tilde.club - I
would like to lead workshops on using that set up for email, simple
websites, and usenet! :)
- Really simple static website workflows
- Craft Podcasting - recording audio podcasts with old equipment and
hand writing RSS files
- Give up your computer for a while - and have a email set up on a USB
stick you carry around and borrow other computers
- And the old classic - put linux on old Windows computers.
nice one
Mick
