MAJOR ANNOUCEMENT!!! I along with @kishy have started Indian Permacomputing Collective called Nodus Tollens, and we are gonna kick things off by presenting "Permacomputing: A Humane Computing Paradigm" talk in the upcomping minidebconf, kanpur² . Please go REGISTER if can visit there. So I asked @j3s this also want you ask you all the folks here who are more versed into permacomputing than me: - "How should I introduce `permacomputing` to someone who is fully into current freedom destroying technologies?" The talk will be around 15 min + 5 min for q&a. So please give your inputs, how can I condense this very vast topic, I know this will be very hard but still I would want to make atleast someone curious about this via my talk. 1 - https://nodus-tollens.codeberg.page 2 - https://pleroma.debian.social/objects/d07cd5c2-852b-4b25-97f4-20ea33f78fc4 #permacomputing #fedi #debian

    @untrusem@merveilles.town @kishy@merveilles.town @j3s@merveilles.town what about saying it's 1. a sort of digital jugaad for everyday tech practices 2. a way to collectively think how to (or if we can even) design digital infra/tools in the public interest (and without destroying the enviro in the process) 3. with a strong feel for computational degrowth 4. an international network of people contributing their different contexts/povs/perspectives on these matters as opposed to impose a one-size-fit-all roadmap. And because it's a debian conf, maybe you could also try to poke the audience with the fact that a lot of people in pmc are users/contributors of FLOSS but are also interested to critically reflect on its actual capacity to function as an alternative as opposed to an accelerator of harm. You could combine all this with what @kris@outmo.de was suggesting in the chat: concrete examples of tech failing to show the urgency (and you could expand the failure from various aspects, from functionality, to harm).
