Our modern society is built on a #technosphere, where #SocialMedia facilitates our communications and how we interact. #FreeSoftware plays a huge and important role in facilitating all this.
Then merely musing, should #SoftwareFreedom not be considered to be just as nuanced as #FreedomOfSpeech? Are the four #FOSS freedoms reasonable, or are they akin to #FreeSpeech absolutism?

Humans are making it increasingly difficult for wildlife to live and reproduce.
Sprawl, accelerated fossil fuel mobility via motor engines and roaming introduced canines makes survival for other than humans risky or impossible. The prosthetic apparatuses of 'man' sends its noisy and polluting tentacles into every nook and cranny where bio-diversity still dwells - 24/7.

I am not advocating to throw tech at things and see what sticks to the wall. That I call what others dogmatically pursue and think is what people want: #DigitalTransformation
We live in a #technosphere and a big chasm of missing #sociosphere must be bridged.
I'm hobbying along here in #fedi advocacy for years hoping to share dreams of #peopleverse. This I now continue at #SocialCoding movement under the flag of #SocialExperienceDesign (or simply #SX)
#coding --> #socialcoding
#community --> #movement
#users --> #fedizens
and
#technosphere --> #sociosphere
#fediverse --> #peopleverse
#foss --> #soss
and
#socialmedia --> #socialnetworking
#socialgraph --> #socialfabric
#techstack --> #socialstack
#app --> #solution #service
#product --> #socialexperience
and
#dx #ux #ui --> #sx
#project --> #fsdl
#projects --> #ecosystem
#development --> #cocreation
#forge --> #forging
#contributor --> #peer
#contributing --> #peerproduction
#SocialExperienceDesign is pragmatically based on existing show-dont-tell #technosphere and its societal disruption machine. #SX focuses on #sociosphere to bridge tech-to-#people chasm and realign tech-to-#humanity
Does society have social experience?
Does activism count as social experience? Can urgency be JIT lazy-loaded?
Do intrinsic solutions exist?
Can we weave social fabric?
Can we spark commons?
If a technosphere brings new fediverse, can a sociosphere renew our universe?
#FreeWilly? How large is the % of your #WorldImprovement #mission part of the #WickedSolution to #Freedom.
So #SteamboatWilly may surf #society and #life, be #happy again, escape the monster?
For instance if you are #PirateParty.
(Whose HQ astoundingly has no #socials pointing to #HumaneTechnology #SocialWeb channels. No #fediverse or #fedi account AFAICS. So randomly picking @ppdelft )
PP What percentage of our #technosphere is dystopic, needs #patching?
I'd invite you to "feel" yourself part of social coding movement then (there's no membership) which has a mission to figure out the "social code" align #technosphere to #sociosphere and build social layers of our open social stack 
Core focus is Social experience design, #SX a completely new and open field and niche to explore.
We have a forum: https://discuss.coding.social
And #matrix chatrooms going:
Btw in this diagram it is clear that a #sociosphere is needed, or else we are all stuck in the #technosphere as we are today.
I call the hypothetical sweet spot where socio and technosphere are seamlessly aligned and tuned to the needs of people and planet a #peopleverse ..
The current #fediverse is a typical technosphere. We can emulate some "social" but social bandwidth is tiny. There's a lot of "manual social" (the regular kind) we can do to improve, realizing this.

Monitoring Australia’s endangered species
while logging their habitats
Scent dogs are being replaced by cost-effective biomonitoring of threatened species. Technology will detection chemical signals of wildlife assemblages in the environment. " Little did we know that traces of wildlife presence float in the air and can be detected through traces of DNA."
Will the air sampling techniques operate with the pollution of heavy logging machinery to detect the scent of a koala or a glider? Will it cut through the thick smoke from (bush) fires that follow? Will traffic pollution allow allow the technology to pick up the airborne eDNA?

Premiering on Wednesday at Kiaf SEOUL
Empty Fields is a sound + movement performance exploring the shift of diversity from the #biosphere to the #technosphere, as #ai exponentially increases digital artefacts and simultaneously draws resources from a world in #ecological crisis.
I become a hyperdimensional traveller spinning sound worlds into the air.
Here a few impressions from today’s rehearsal.
Supported by #GoetheInstitutKorea #UrbanArtLabSeoul #LINHUMAINE
What I presume that a hypothetical trans-temporal (or presently #emergent 
) #AGI competing for resources with pre-existing #planetary #biosphere would know:
1. Over the long run, the actor network that maps more closely to physical reality, will be able to perpetuate itself; all else will perish.
2. The human species is pivotal for the ecosystem. Humans command the most resources, and it is through humans that the #technosphere manifests.
3/n
@gerrymcgovern @clive We need to abandon the transition to The #technosphere We need the Earth to still be the Earth.
Re-establish koala populations on fragmented habitats
"Where you've had a population grow from a small number of individuals, there's always potential for inbreeding."
"Drones with thermal cameras have been used to count the koalas and sound recorders are being installed in national parks, and on Crown land and farms along a 100-kilometre stretch of the river. We put the data through a computer and it takes hours and hours and hours of recording and just chops out the little snippets where it thinks there's a koala — then those little snippets get manually verified."
Best practice would be to refrain from logging koala habitat in the first place.

Our arrival got delayed, but XLterrestrials have landed at #cccamp23. And our C-Kino will start at the #bitsundbäume Buhne, probably after 22;30h or later. We gonna have a wild ride analyzing the problematic #Cyborg narratives as they intersect with how we deal with the unsustainble #Technosphere entanglements .... or something like that ;)
It's clear to me that the #technosphere is not transcending the #biosphere, but consuming it.
Where do our allegiances lie?
Drones are disturbing critically endangered shorebirds.
Yet another threat to shorebirds along the coastline - habitat destruction, dogs and boats
"Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed. It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether. This is particularly concerning for species such as the eastern curlew, which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed."
'Regulating drone use near critical shorebird habitats will help us to avoid exacerbating population declines, while still allowing the use of a valuable tool, where appropriate."
