summary - This article revolves around the research of South African crime reporter Caryn Dolley on the organized web of crime in South Africa - She discusses the nexus of - trans-national drug cartels - local Cape Town gangs - South African state collusion with gangs - in her new book: Man Alone: Mandela's Top Cop - Exposing South Africa's Ceaseless Sabotage - It illustrates how on-the-ground efforts to fight crime are failing because they do not effectively address this criminal nexus - The book follows the life of retired top police investigator Andre Lincoln whose expose paints the deep level of criminal activity spanning government, trans-national criminal networks and local gangs - Such organized crime takes a huge toll on society and is an important contributor to the polycrisis. - Non-linear approaches are necessary to tackle this systemic problem - One possibility is a trans-national citizen-led effort

History on the Gordian knot “The cutting of the Gordian Knot is an Ancient Greek legend associated with Alexander the Great in Gordium in Phrygia, regarding a complex knot that tied an oxcart. Reputedly, whoever could untie it would be destined to rule all of Asia. In 333 BC Alexander was challenged to untie the knot. Instead of untangling it laboriously as expected, he dramatically cut through it with his sword, thus exercising another form of mental genius. It is thus used as a metaphor for a seemingly intractable problem which is solved by exercising brute force“

Brian Sunter (twitter) using Logseq as a social network platform.

What simple standards exist here? Could this more broadly and potentially be used to connect personal wikis, digital gardens, zettelkasten, etc?

Note that in this thread Dave Winer asks about how it can be tied into other standardized pieces to interconnect?

How can I hook my outlines into your net if I’m not running Logseq?

I've noted elsewhere that despite the reputation of WYSIWYG editors' tendencies for handling HTML, modern mainstream Web development practices are so bad today that just typing a bunch of junk into LibreOffice and saving as HTML results in one of the most economical ways to do painless authoring of Web content...

I assume this gets search traffic because people hope/assume that since there's a React "material-ui" that there might already be a "svelte-material-ui" port/adaptation available. So they search for exactly that (like I did). That and being the first to create that something (with that name).

Destul de simpatică aplicația, doar că varianta FREE e destul de limitată

I think it's largely because blogging has been left behind as a social tool of the early web. I think the average web user perceives blogging in a sort of negative light as an old technology, but I think we're about to have (or perhaps already are having) a second blogging renaissance in reaction to the pitfalls of microblogging.

The Web We Need to Give Students

The title itself is expressive towards the fact that the educational system has been trying to come up with many ways to help students manage their understanding of the web in general.

some 170 bills proposed so far ...

Its no surprise tha tthe schools can share data with companies and researchers for their own benefits. Some of these actions are violations of privacy laws.

arguments that restrictions on data might hinder research or the development of learning analytics or data-driven educational software.

Unbelievable! The fact that there is actually a problem with the fact that students or anyone wants their privacy, but abusing companies and businesses can't handle invading others privacies is shocking. It seems to be a threat to have some privacy.

Is it crazy that this reminds me of how the government wants to control the human minds?

All the proof is there with telephone records, where the NSA breaches computers and cellphones of the public in order to see who they communicate with.

Countries like Ethiopia; the government controls what the people view on their TV screens. They have complete control of the internet and everything is vetted. Privacy laws has passed! Regardless, no one is safe. For example: Hackers have had access to celebrity iCloud accounts, and exposed everything.

The Domain of One’s Own initiative

Does it really protect our identities?

Tumblr?

Virginia Woolf in 1929 famously demanded in A Room of One’s Own — the necessity of a personal place to write.

Great analogy! Comparing how sometimes people need to be in a room all on their own in order to clear their minds and focus on their thoughts on paper to also how they express themselves in the web is a good analogy.

... the Domains initiative provides students and faculty with their own Web domain.

So, the schools are promising complete privacy?

...the domain and all its content are the student’s to take with them.

Sounds good!

Cyberinfrastructure

To be able to be oneself is great. Most people feel as if their best selves are expressed online rather than real life face-to-face interactions.

Tumblr is a great example. Each page is unique to ones own self. That is what Tumblr sells, your own domain.

Digital Portfolio

Everyone is different. Sounds exciting to see what my domain would look like.

High school...

Kids under 13 already have iPhones, iPads, tablets and laptops. They are very aware to the technology world at a very young age. This domain would most likely help them control what they showcase online, before they grow older. Leaving a trail of good data would benefit them in the future.

Digital citizenship:

It teaches students and instructors how to use technology the right way.

What is appropriate, and what is not appropriate?

Seldom incluse students' input...

Students already developed rich social lives.

Google doc= easy access to share ones work.

Leaving data trails behind.

Understanding options on changes made?

Being educated on what your privacy options are on the internet is a good way of protecting your work.

Student own their own domain- learning portfolio can travel with them.

If the students started using this new domain earlier in their lives, there should be less problems in schools coming up with positive research when it comes to the growth of the students on their data usages.

School district IT is not the right steward for student work: the student is.

So to my understanding, if the student is in the school, one has to remember to move around the files saved in the domain. The school is not responsible for any data lost, because the student is responsible for all their work.

Much better position to control their work...

If all of this is true and valid, it should not be a big deal then for the student to post what ever they want on their domain. No matter how extreme, and excessive it seems, if that is how they view themselves, their domain would be as unique as their personalities.

The significance of the "Billie Jean" when it came out was do to the fact that the song was about a person being told that they are some kids father.

un dispositif herméneutique (stiegler) reviendrait donc à laisser des espaces de suspension, réflexion, de doute, dans le dispositif : annotation, blanc, silence

"chosen not to hide behind the cloak of anonymity, or bypass the rigors of peer review by posting a version of this paper to my Web site.

Just got to think about our roles, in view of annotation. Using “curation” as a term for collecting URLs sounds like usurping the title of “curator”. But there’s something to be said about the role involved. From the whole “guide on the side” angle to the issue with finding appropriate resources based on a wealth of expertise.
