It is difficult to accept that incest is the banal act of a completely ordinary person; and that it constitutes a genealogical crime, a specific form of child abuse (control, trauma, etc.).

The impossibility of seeing incest as a criminal sexual practice was remarkably demonstrated in an ethnographic study carried out by Léonore Le Caisne in the provincial village where the Lydia Guardo case took place.

The villagers perceived the Guardos as completely ordinary, a family like any other, with a hard-working father who was respected and looked on kindly, even though he did not hide his paternity from the villagers, shopkeepers and institutions. For the villagers, bound together by gossip, incest was a banal matter of procreation between a man and his daughter: ‘he was making children to his daughter’. They failed to see the asymmetrical relationship of kinship and age that constitutes this paternal incest: behind the gossip, the criminal practice of incest was passed over in silence.

It is misleading to suggest that evil parties can be controlled by imposing backdoors on common systems such as Telegram, Signal, or WhatsApp.

They are motivated enough to use other systems proficiently and work around them.

You, so-called democratic governments, are cultivating an illusion and allowing other evil entities to abuse that power. It happened in the past and will happen again in the future.
Stop it, idiots.

“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”

I have always (well almost since I thought about it properly) been in favour of publishing every citizens tax returns.

Trump's acolytes have access to US tax records but transparency is no part of their objective. All part of what appears to be an effective seizure of the reins of power, a political judiciary, demolishing initiatives rather than suppress people and an alliance with world autocracies. It won't end well.

The Enclosure of Information: Alternative Data, Bossware, and the Societies of Control

"If the enclosure of land led to peasant revolts, what forms of resistance might emerge against the enclosure of data? The answer is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the commodification of information serves only to reinforce class hierarchies. As financial elites manipulate alternative data for speculative gain and employers use bossware to extract ever more surplus-value, the question we must ask is not merely how to regulate these practices, but how to dismantle the very system that enables them. A society built on the enclosure of knowledge is not a free society. It is a society of control, and it is time to resist."

What means or is #selfhosting for you?

I think most ones will identify this with simply running something on their own system, that is under their own control. But is this enough? For data sovereignty probably…

- Is that really enough?
- What about everything else? What about the infrastructure?
- Should you run your own ntp, dns etc?
- What about your provider? Simply getting an IP assigned from your provider or become yourself an ISP?

Where does it start and where does it end?
