Can projects fitting with the #permacomputing concept be something else than low level?

@raphael I think permacomputing goes beyond technical stuff and touch to what we are doing with computers and what kind of tools do we build with it. I think there is a LOT to do in term of design and high-level user applications. Building tools that fits best human needs, reducing alienation and maximizing emancipation.

Most of permacoputing and collapse-computing I found so far are really technical. I think it's because current network structure and computer production industry is not helping.

I think there is room for some experiments around high level applications and reflections around that.

@raphael yeah, the technical permacomputing work has less to do with writing software, and more to do with finding ways to do without. :permacomputing:

@raphael @liaizon I’m curious, what was your discussion about? 🤔

@raphael we should really put together a little generator for these like we talked about it looks so good

My cassette été demo is available on Bandcamp. It’s 100% live coded spontaneous web audio grooves and textures… Thanks to the world best live coding label Ordinateur dans la tête.

So much cases of people changing hardware because of software obsolescence, that’s depressing.

@raphael Apple just announced my perfectly good iPhone isn't getting anymore iOS updates and I know what happens then :(

Fanzines are defined as “non-official publications produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon”. Now “fanzines” also include niche art publications made within a small economy, close to what artist’s books are, but I wanted to go back to the original role of the fanzine: Fungal is a homage to Wikipedia, one of the greatest website of the World Wide Web. This collaborative encyclopedia is now 21 years old, and I am still fascinated how it changed our relationship to knowledge. It also represents a comforting example of what humanity can do: collaborating voluntarily on the largest knowledge project in our history. I consider Wikipedia being the descendant of Enlightenment’s encyclopédistes and free software movement, and I think such project made by the people, for the people are beautiful remains of the early Web’s utopia.
