Apparently there are ICE cameras in both the Home Depot (SODO) and Lowes (Mt Baker) parking lots in south Seattle.
These companies are not your friends.

Seattle has a new progressive mayor, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!
Hopefully a turning point in a city that’s long needed one for better, bolder city-making. Congratulations and good luck Mayor-Elect Wilson, & congrats Seattle voters for choosing a new, better path.

Resist Tech Monopolies: Community Photo Hosting SeaGL 2025
Resist Tech Monopolies (RTM) is a collective that aims to build & support community alternatives to big tech. One of our projects is a self-hosted and distributed photo sharing application that will be an alternative to proprietary platforms like Google and iCloud Photos. Alternatives already exist; however, there are several barriers to more people adopting these tools, including cost of physical infrastructure, required tech skills, time and energy, and a lack of desired features. In this talk we present the case for resisting tech monopolies like Google Photos, go through the technical details of how we set up a community photo hosting platform, and share our lessons learned on the process.

Coop-cloud is a federation of tech cooperatives that builds shared cloud tools and democratically govern the maintenance and development of these tools. The talk goes through coop-cloud's governing structure, what tools they developed (with some practical examples), and what are the challenges of this model.

We don't have the right to have our needs met, we have the right to meet our needs.
That's not "lift yourself by the bootstrap" rhetoric, but it's to say that limiting our access to resources and putting arbitrary rules on what we can do and what we can't do is #repression
