Trump wants to delete the common knowledge of the world.
Be aware that one implication might be the determination of the .org domains of #wikipedia by a fascist regime [registered in US].
You MUST immediately give special attention to all the wikibase hostnames and advice EURid to block requests from other parties than @wikipedia
I do urge you to EU-backup #wikidata as well as wikipedia, wiki #commons and all belonging projects frequently now.
I do request you to give wikipedia all imaginable help !

"We are witnessing today a new era in the conquest of space. Space-faring nations are once again rushing to the Moon, as exemplified by the US and China with their Artemis and Chang’e programmes. Yet states’ quasi-monopoly over space exploration is increasingly challenged by the private sector. Since 2020, SpaceX operates human flights for NASA, marking the first time humans have been launched into space via private commercial spacecraft rather than state ones. Silicon Valley billionaires dream of colonising space and terraforming planets to turn humanity into an “interplanetary species”. With Goldman Sachs’ assurance that space mining is now “more realistic than perceived”, space mining start-ups like the British Asteroid Mining Corporation and the US AstroForge multiply plans to mine asteroids. Huge sums are at play: Bank of America estimates that the space industry could be worth 1.4 trillion dollars by 2030.
(...)
According to the current international legal framework that governs human activities in space, outer space and its precious resources have been consecrated as one of humanity’s commons, along with the deep sea and Antarctica. Space venture capitalists have battled against this status that de facto limits the expansion of the private sector into space. They have found precious institutional and ideological supports in their crusade to introduce private ownership over space resources and lands. Today, they are about to succeed in their effort to dismantle and privatise one of the last remaining commons of humanity.
Why should the left fight to protect the common ownership status of space? This scene-setting report goes back to the New Space lobby’s attack on international space legislation to open a larger debate on how space can be developed in ways that guarantee shared prosperity and the flourishing of all people and future generations."

Coopératives intégrales catalanes : l’autogestion au service d’une alternative globale

16 Apr 1593: James Morice, lawyer and MP for #Colchester who had introduced bills in the #Commons to outlaw oaths, inquisitions & subscriptions as contrary to Magna Carta is released after 18 days arrest in the house of Sir John Fortescue (BritishLibrary) Law reform gone wrong...
De samenleving is allang begonnen.
Terwijl beleidsnota’s zich opstapelen en plannen in de la verdwijnen, laten mensen in buurten en dorpen zien wat er wél kan. Niet als consument, niet als toeschouwer, maar als mede-eigenaar van hun leefomgeving.

Who Owns Free Knowledge?
Last week, digital researchers and free knowledge practitioners came together at the Weizenbaum Institute to examine the power hierarchies embedded in free knowledge today, and to imagine a more just future of the commons. It was a wonderful conference, with @wikimediaDE full of enlightening thoughts and new questions.

[#GLAMarchives] Toutes les photographies de restauration des terrains en montagne mises sur #Gallica sont uploadées sur #Commons (vive les bot), et les métadonnées nettoyées (pour identifier provenance #Archivesnationales...).
Les contenus mis en ligne par l'institution passent sous les 30% (contre 60% avant) des documents identifiés "Collections of Archives nationales (France)" ! #Yapluka mettre les photos #RTM restantes. Vm

Who Owns Free Knowledge? Examining Power, Platformization, and the Promise of the #Commons, Conference by #Weizenbaum & #Wikimedia, Berlin, Thursday 10 April. Join me for a barcamp session on the future of public service media in the online age and how it relates to #Fediverse and Wikimedia.

Waarom stemmen mensen tegen ongelijkheid… door te kiezen voor superrijken?
Er zijn alternatieven. In zorgzame gemeenschappen, energiecoöperaties, culturele projecten en burgerberaden ontstaat een nieuw verhaal. Niet links, niet rechts, maar radicaal sociaal-ecologisch en mensgericht.
Wat als dát het nieuwe midden wordt?
Wat als we nu durven bouwen aan een samenleving die wél werkt voor mensen en planeet?

“Imagine 50 years from now a Public Intelligence that was a distributed, open-source, non-commercial artificial intelligence, operated like the internet, and available to the whole world.”
A colleague from the UK and I bring in our two cents on a highly divisive issue, written from the perspective of CHIs and research libraries.

Friends who are interested in #cooperatives, #commons, and #solidarityeconomy, please make a donation to GEO.coop. I found GEO when I was first learning about solidarity economy, submitted an article or two, and ended up joining the collective. A look at the website shows what a unique independent resource GEO is, covering organizing efforts around the world, sharing the work of leading theorist-practitioners like Jessica Gordon-Nembhard and @luisrazeto .

#Commoms sind gemeinschaftlich regulierte wirtschaftliche Güter, die in der #Wirtschaft oft künstlich verknappt werden um der Tragik der Allmende zu entgehen. #Olstrom hat gezeigt dass mit gut designten Regularien diese Güter zum Vorteil der #Gemeinschaft organisiert werden können. Insofern würde ich tendenziell manche #Genossenschaften und das #Fediverse als #Commons einstufen, wegen der gemeinschaftlichen Regularien. @commonsnetwork
