Re: <nettime> Francesca Bria: Our data is valuable. Here's how we can ta

One wonders if, as of 2018, there remained any non co-opted hackers who are fighting back, or willing to do so, while acting autonomously from the capital and the capitalist state.

I had my informed opinion about Barcelona but hearing from Simona now, I think some one either has to spell it out, or give some references to open up what sort of fraud it is, if it is.

In support of for Carlo's response, or for extended version of his point, check out this fully automated loading port in China.

This discussion is not 'digital fudalism' and how to fight against it.

It is about the number of 'poor'oletariat (plus precariat) or the world reaching up to 4 to 6 billion if not more; surveillance/meta-data capitalism and its mechanisms rising for socialisation-control-dispose of these people. In this nexus it is also about how the future of IoT will evolve around the cooperation between globalist/atanticist ruling classes and China's state classes; the OBOR project, the networked hubs of automated docks and ports so on. This is the base of the emerging new shit.

I though that the Barcelona vision of techno sovereignty, or fearless cities, were linked to a fraud mainly because of Morozov's, choosing Barcelona as a base, as a Soros agent as he was during the Eastern European transition operation (online transitions). This has been a global good governance vision of the 1980-1990 era, before the rentier money capital high jacked the commanding heights. There is no turning back to good global governance neoliberal bullshit.

No voice coming from Barcelona, nor from other places, addressed how hackers (as McKenize Wark uses the term) will take on the mission of bridging and uniting the proletariat of the global south and precariat of the global north, to rise up against the oppressors of all kinds weather state, corporate, financial, industrial, military...

The oppressed people's reverse-engineers, or hackers, are those think of and aim at the enemy at that global level. Like great worker engineer and socialist Netti does in Bogdanov's 1912 novel Engineer Menni, yet in another planet. The question is can we manage what Netti did but on Earth?

yes Joe but pleeease, I'm not revealing: I'm consciously writing. I
love literature, I know we are in a public space and I definitely mean
what I write. I'm not slipping things out of my mind so that can be
"revealed" by people accusing me of being an elitist. So please Joe,
chill pill, ok?

To acknowledge the problem, rather than negate it, is a start towards
the solution. Please for a moment think about your slanted attempt at
framing. Through the (rather enormous, yes, because we do work for
that money) narrative of DECODE, you will clearly find that the effort
behind the newly released software https://zenroom.dyne.org and other
ongoing developments is that of making intelligible technical
knowledge that only a few elites can understand and therefore manage.

Actually, a lot of my hands-on and theoretical work on technology is
about this.

So then yes. I know Carlo knows C language and technical architectures
very well and yes, knowing his level of knowledge: its a very limited
minority of people who can read that and assess it.

With regards to some specific domains, like that of cryptographic
trasformations on privacy entitlements and credentials, I believe that
through the development of domain specific languages the gap can be
overcome. This is part of what I see as I perceive as my own political
mission in DECODE. I articulated aspects of this approach here
https://zenroom.dyne.org/whitepaper/#[10,%22XYZ%22,72,608.17,null]

So my response to you is that, while you are accusing me of an
elitarist crime, I'm trying to present to the list a project that is
precisely addressing the techno-elitarian gap and does its best to
overcome it. Nevertheless thanks for your participation and any other
precious time you will dedicate in considering the contents of the
DECODE project.

ciao
