I Want A Personal Database

A post from Alan W. Smith

I’m not sure how to make it happen. It would be hard to monetize and goes against siloed content, but wow would the world be a better place if we controlled out data

I need time to give you a more thoughtful reply but I will, and I’d be willing to help code a simple spec to at least get the ball rolling.

『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex community project

How could you possibly be bored at the end of the world?

Climate instability is a small component of impending total cascading ecological collapse.

In academia? Struggling for grants for what? Measuring the collapse in scientific papers that are ignored. Sooo then what?

Unfortunately, SHY is and can not be the solution; realistically, there probably isn’t any solution. SHY is not proposing our goal is to fix the world, or stop impending ecological collapse

About Us

A community of scientists, and data shows mostly computer scientists

But also makers, hackers, academics, communists, eco-terrorists, anarchists, nurses, hardware and software engineers, socialists, ecologists, electrical engineers, lawyers, mycologists, programmers, journalists, artists, designers, arsonists, kopimists, nomads, writers, union organizers, educators, witches, musicians, environmentalists, arboreals, activists, narco-terrorists, luddites, night-timers, day-dreamers, exiles, and party-crashers

Ultimately, and Ideally a diverse group of people and skills bound together by similar goals: 1. Participate in a project larger than themselves 2. Collaborate on a project that seeks equitable treatment + dignity for all Terran life

All languages +cultures +nationalities +political-affiliations (including apolitical) +identities +religions +age-group are invited to participate

Unique perspectives divergent opinions presented in good faith are appreciated + will be discussed

Rules

Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, post about anything

SHY seeks to mimic the freedom of expression found on the early internet; but also includes freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass, insult, and shame stupid posts; it goes both ways

Preferably, cultivate Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortably wrong, and be able to learn from others

Racist, fascist, + classical to neo nazi- will wish they got banned; instead of consequences like oddly bricked devices Go ahead, post, put all your devices on the line to test if serious.

Origin Story

SHY originally was only free educational computer science courses streamed live weekly; it needed music for the stream, so a music project was created, needing students to avoid an empty stream, a social media presence on Mastodon+Reddit was created and grew rapidly.

Over time, the essence of SHY began to change. Always intended to be nucleation point for a community, but who was in it and shaped it, and so what it means are still open questions: it requires all of us to answer them.

Will this work? Who knows? Probably not, but we can only find out if we try

Contact

The founder and current administrator of the community is Mastodon.social@ekis

Until I regret this decision, anyone can contact directly + immediately via email:

Gladly accept love letters, but not fond of death threats; but don’t censor yourself.

Support & Donations

Contributing financial support will speed up growth of this community via paypal or via ko-fi

SHY is already tied to an established CA non-profit with a dedicated bank account. Revenue and donations will be held in a dedicated business account, community audited, and control will rest with the SHY community; it may fund open source projects or other yet undefined community objectives.

Work will begin to convert the organization into a non-profit workers’ cooperative; demonstrating how cooperatives can be operated democratically, and without C-Suite executives. Completely worker owned, operated, non-profit cooperative (but we will be designing our own instead of using the new standard California model).

Goal of a non-profit workers cooperative:

Transparency
Democracy
Exerting force within the organizational ecosystem

Creating an organization within the current organizational ecosystem, explicitly with entirely different goals and motives combined with no board of directors, makes our design incredibly efficient by comparison; in addition, willing to lose profit for achieve other goals, will make SHY dangerous entity within the ecosystem*

Bitcoin Donations

Never buy & give them to SHY to sell:

Give Me Your Coins!

And, of course, you can personally shower me (Ekis) with your cryptocurrency.

Made an obscene amount of money? And you haven’t already sent some? I’m offended!

Will even take your esoteric fork-coin; but no regaling me with tales of extraordinary properties. Really don’t care-

Interested In Leadership Roles?

SHY is an ambitious project that exist beyond this site; already connected to an established CA non-profit. Members wishing to have democratic control will be required to join the SHY non-profit cooperative.

We are looking for community organizers, and we need department leaders for different types of skills. If you have been doing UX design for a long time, and could help newer people getting into it, we would to hear from you. The same writing (technical writing, but not exclusively), 2D artists, 3D artists, etc. We want find people with talent in each field they can share with others and build “departments”(until we have a better word) around these individuals. They will have weighted voting during decision making votes, not massively but noticeable.

We will be building new federated platforms, while providing fixes for existing ones.

We require modifications to an existing CA non-profit structure; writing new articles of operation, to provide for a unique cooperative structure.

The goal of establishing a entirely worker owned and operated non-profit cooperative is a very rare; it will serve both as a demonstration while empowering the SHY community to be more than bystanders.

We will redefine economic disruption
