Solarpunk is plants on buildings

I really do enjoy the Solar Punk aesthetic and the optimism it represents, but when I try to bring people to the reality of things like "we still need solar panel and battery factories" people seem to get upset.

Just to say, I see the reality of what Solar Punk could be and I want to take the practical steps needed. And to be clear, my goal is to make sure that the workers own the solar panel factory, not capitalist investors. I think the solar punk aesthetic, whatever version of it we all decide on, will naturally emerge if we can achieve that.

Or we organize our own industrial worker cooperatives and try to avoid a shooting war.

Organize workers into a co-op, negotiate staffing agreements with the capitalists, and use the staffing margin to fund a business plan for the co-op to operate.

And then of course, drop the staffing contracts when they're no longer needed. Too bad so sad, find your own workers now.

I would say fight back economically by forming cooperatives. This guy and his criminal enterprises are stealing massive amounts of wealth from us, which realistically means prices are just going to keep going up and up and up. Not to mention Hormuz being closed with no end in sight. We need people to become more economically self-reliant ASAP.

Let me know if you want more specific ideas about managing cooperatives (or look at my post history).

Sure would be nice if we could reform economically instead. Not that I feel bad for the pedos or the tyrants, but a lot of other people will have a very bad time if shit really hits the fan without some sort of economic plan in place.

Contributors wanted for Open-Source Worker's Cooperative Management Software

Why not use existing projects? A combination of my specific design requirements not existing anywhere else and my lack of software architecture experience. My background is in systems and organizational theory, and while I have experience in mathematics related programming, this is my first server architecture. So that being said, I'm certainly open to ideas as long as that doesn't stop it from working right. I am planning on integrating different tools like messaging, and I'll certainly use something like Continuwuity for that. It's just that for the core database design it really needs to have a specific integrated schema, at least that's my opinion. Like I said I'm open to ideas, my goal is to get the project done.

I'm not familiar with ERPNext but it looks interesting. As you pointed out this is US based, so it looks like I would have to take that into account as well.

In terms of sensitive information, the US does have laws about Personal Identifying Information, so the "Party" table has a corresponding "PartyPii" table with information that isn't subject to audit and can be deleted. Home address, email, phone, etc. It is also stored encrypted, so while I'm sure I don't have it all figured out yet, these things are on my radar.

In terms of MVP, I will certainly be testing out front-end funtionality as I build it. Start with a login page that accepts a default user and brings you to a dashboard page. Get the accounting going so you can make Journal Entries, etc. Prettymuch going by the "Core Design" section at the start of the README and testing in chunks. But in terms of actually seeing if it meets it's intended function, unfortunately that comes down to an actual beta version I think. I will need to host it and invite people to participate with "points" instead of money.

Someone over on beehaw suggested Svelte for front-end mock-up so I've been playing around with the tutorial. It's certainly neat. I should be able to get demo pages going without too much trouble, they just won't look too special.

And yes, I have begun thinking about the day to day. I think non-management members need to have a pretty significant capability with just a mobile version of the pages, since not everyone has an actual computer. But either way I want the information to flow smoothly through the organization.

Thanks for your input!

That's a fair enough assessment of the internet, although I don't think everyone is evil.

But these techniques, when practiced by paid intelligence operatives, I think generally involve manipulation in the real world.

For example, going into someone's home when they're going to be gone for a while and moving things around. Something seemingly innocuous like an item being in an unusual or suggestive place can invoke a fear response in the target if it remains unexplained or is followed by additional incidents.

This could be coupled with targeted information placed in public in places the target is likely to frequent, such as their commute to work.

Targets are discouraged from talking about the incidents by stigma surrounding mental health, and if they get targeted enough it will become difficult for them to distinguish the actual attacks from regular information floating about.

That's my take on it at least.

Well that's not my goal, my goal was to show that the community is a front set up by reddit, which I think it is. The stated purpose of the community is "Presenting information about organized stalking and targeted individuals, to organize, spread awareness, and educate." so if that's off topic I'm not sure what on topic means.

Anyway fair enough I will leave them alone.

Thanks! Glad to find allies.

How would you feel about a worker's cooperative (1share/1vote) with an elected board and president, but also a CEO who gets elected based on a business plan? The CEO would build a management hierarchy to implement the business plan, something that's missing from typical co-ops.

Equity of socialism with the productivity of capitalism, or at least that's the hope.
