Mitten in Süddeutschland gibt es ein kleines gallisches Dorf, in dem sich die Bewohner entschieden haben , die Immobilienbodenspekulanten aus diesem Dorf auszusperren. Resultat: bezahlbare Wohnungen
Wie: nur der #Boden, der der Stadt gehört, darf Baurecht bekommen und #bauland mit #baurecht, der nicht bebaut wird , muss zurück zur Stadt ( #Ulm).

Initiatives like the L’Atelier Paysan cooperative in France and Farm Hack in the USA empower communities of farmers, engineers, makers and enthusiasts to manufacture technological solutions tailored for low-intensity, small-scale, resilient farming. Further, they rigorously document their solutions, create designs and manufacturing guides that are made globally available as digital #commons.

Heinrich Böll StiftungAgroecology as an Open-Source Technology: Progress Conceived Collectively | Heinrich Böll StiftungA research project in the Greek mountains shows what open source technologies and agroecology have in common. And why combining the two approaches could mean a better future for isolated rural regions around the world.
"In the digital sphere, practices of commoning have been expanding from knowledge and information, to software, and technological design, collectively created and maintained by globally distributed communities, through shared infrastructures and organizational practices."

> And it is an understandable dynamic.. devs have invested much time to 'eat' their way through the complexity of building federated apps, and afterwards when they are unlocked, gained the expertise, they want to focus on their app. They are likely to even resist major changes to the spec, even if they'd be ultimately beneficial to them.
This pragmatic approach that often works very well for individual #FOSS projects, is detrimental to formation of healthy #commons.

> Btw, the ad-hoc code-first show-dont-tell mentality is an interesting social dynamic in FOSS, but esp. in the AS/AP open standards based ecosystem, a chaotic grassroots #commons.

Essential Reading ->
"One could argue that by repurposing creative works, AI has expanded the art multiplier: each dollar spent on the arts now yields its usual social return, as well as additional value derived from its incorporation into AI systems.
Yet, despite the value of their contributions, public funding for artists and creators has steadily declined. In the United Kingdom, for example, direct support from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to national arts bodies fell by 18% per person in real terms between 2009-10 and 2022-23. Over the same period, core funding for arts councils dropped by 18% in England, 22% in Scotland, 25% in Wales, and 66% in Northern Ireland. As generative AI continues to churn out synthetic content and displace human labor, that support must increase to reflect the realities of a changing creative economy.
Admittedly, with public finances under pressure and debt on the rise, this is hardly the time for unchecked government spending. Any additional funding would need to be financed responsibly. While a detailed policy blueprint is beyond the scope of this article, it’s worth noting that the enormous profits generated by major tech firms could be partially redirected to support the creative communities that power their models.
One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions."
Project SyndicateAI Should Help Fund Creative LaborMariana Mazzucato & Fausto Gernone show how today’s innovation economy exploits the very people it relies on and propose a fairer system.

The report leaves no doubt: the negative impact of the datacenters is not an (energy) efficiency issue, is about effectiveness: most of the resources are used for private data capture and processing for advertisement and control.
The environmental cost (in lives) is about #SurveillanceCapitalism: again, the appropriation and privatization of the #Commons (everyone), robbed and concentrated in a few hands.

Let’s pause here—we end this concert having learned, not having ended the work. May new encounters grow from our disagreements and shared aspirations. Until then: solidarity, lucidity, and joyful struggle to all.
