A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over.
For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.
It should send us looking in a hundred directions.
In Boise, the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub is experimenting with one of them. @BASH has put a small independent publication on NomadNet, a system running over Reticulum rather than relying solely on the conventional web. It has articles, archives, submissions and contact functions, reachable through a cryptographic network destination instead of an ordinary domain.

That is not the answer. That's what makes it interesting.
Other projects are trying other things: cooperative infrastructure, self-managed servers, RSS, mirrors, print, radio, downloadable archives, federated publishing and networks that barely resemble the commercial web at all.
We don't need to find another A/I. We need to understand how to build a thousand different pieces of what made A/I possible.
Sabot is beginning a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, aimed especially at small and rural projects: how to publish, archive, distribute, host, mirror and keep going when a platform, host, domain, provider or collective disappears.
Coming Soon:
BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS
A living guide to autonomous publishing, infrastructure and survival
Follow the people experimenting. Follow small radical media. Preserve what matters.
Then build something.
Slop of Theseus: the idea that if you generate something with AI, you can remove/replace every single part of it, but it’ll still be slop.

Now more than ever we need to stand together against the fascists. #alerta
has anyone built a dual USB-C PD circuit with the EZ-PD™ CCG4 from Infineon? The idea is to have one USB-C port supplying the whole board, and the second doing DRP (PD for charging, alt mode, high speed). #electronics

it's always the same thing.. Instead of upholding democratic values the conservatives just scream the same the fascists party does and then wonder why they are losing all the voters to the fascists...
and redirect problems caused by them for the country to immigrants and other in their view "undesirable" people.
And then if asked why they've lost, they'll just say "yeah uhm.. we weren't fascis... I mean.. we didn't blame the immigra... I mean, we didn't talk enough about actual problems"
what's up with people telling me about their vibe coded stuff and expecting me to be interested/supportive?
if it's slop, I don't want to hear about it, full stop. Come back if you actually make something yourself
#Autistici / Inventati are closing down.
I am speechless.
A/I is history.
"A/I is shutting down. The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of the services we provide.
There is no easy way to announce or explain this.
Every day we stayed online after August 26, 2026, has been a victory, but now we are forced to stop."

<kow|wk> so
<kow|wk> worth noting
<kow|wk> running "reboot -h" does NOT produce a helpful usage message

Will need to verify if this is correct with someone who knows more than I do; this is mostly based on TI's TIDA-01243
This is Zvi. He's 15.
Every Friday, he stands outside a mosque in Paterson, NJ, distributing cards in support of Palestine, which emphasise that zionism is not judaism.
I will likely need to keep using it for the near future though.
Wie kann man in diesen Zeiten nur tanzen?
Meistens von einem Bein auf das Andere
Feste feiern, auch wenn das Land brennt
