Hey both,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is all really great stuff. My take is to add a session
on smashing our computers to pieces with sledge hammers (or lump
hammers, axes, picks, anything really), or perhaps, more
usefully, using them to build the walls of mud huts in our
anarcho-primitivist escape-Eden.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, I’ve put up a couple of proposals on the wiki, as I
know have a couple of others, so things are taking shape:</div>

<div>Appropriate Technology (AT) has a long history as
detailled in the Wikipedia article. It was going great
in the Global South in the sixties-eighties, the age of
'import substitution' economics where, once the initial
imports were made, further developments had to be done
pretty much autonomously, that is without help, or even
under active opposition by the Northern corporations who
saw it as a threat to their (export) business. IT, esp
the F/OSS movement initially boosted this approach but
than, like in so many areas, interest and motivation was
lost in favor of more 'modern' mainstream options.
Keeping the knowledge and furthering the development of
AT has become the more urgent in a time that the
polycrisis (aka 'clusterf***') makes it necessary to
seriously prepare for a world without just too many
things we tend to take for granted to think about. As
the great Montenegro pop star used to sing: Don't Happy,
Be Worry!</div>

<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p>I'd be up for leading one on something like. <br>
</p>
<p><i>Anarcho Primitivist Computer Club / Deep Dark
Green Computing <br>
</i></p>
<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>This would be a more welcoming / accessible version
of the "<i>00's Open Publishing News CMS Survivors
group"</i> that often used to happen on Sundays at
Hacktionlab. <br>
</p>
<p>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. <br>
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. <br>
</p>
<p>Here are some related ideas. But I suppose just
applying the principles of <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology</a>
to current situation. <br>
</p>
<p>- I really liked finding out about Tilde Club - <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://tilde.club" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://tilde.club</a> - I
would like to lead workshops on using that set up for
email, simple websites, and usenet! :)<br>
- Really simple static website workflows <br>
- Craft Podcasting - recording audio podcasts with old
equipment and hand writing RSS files<br>
- Give up your computer for a while - and have a email
set up on a USB stick you carry around and borrow
other computers<br>
- And the old classic - put linux on old Windows
computers. <br>
</p>
<p>nice one<br>
