I know it's a tough ask. In the meanwhile I'm exploring the possibility of embedding excalidraw into something else but I don't know.

I already contribute to wikis on this topic, like Activist Handbook, but they are not the right format for what I need. Linked documents have limited expressivity and visual people are currently underserved, hence the diagram approach.

Another similar thing would be to use stuff like obsidian canvas which is something in between

Hello.

I'm considering to start working on some interactive roadmaps to learn the skills necessary for political organizing, union organizing and so on. The format is ideally similar to roadmap.sh, giving a high-level overview of what a certain area of knowledge is, where it sits in the scheme of things and what to learn first.roadmap.sh itself is open source and has an editor, but the license is weird and I'm not sure I want to rely on it.

At the same time, tools like Miro, Mural, or Figma have little interactivity and would hinder future collaboration. Mermaid is collaborative, but not interactive. Before committing to a compromise, I would like to ask if you know any better option similar to roadmap.sh but with more freedom for independent creators. If it's self-hosted, even better. Mind mapping tools with the right level of customization might also be an option if you know any that can be bent into looking like a roadmap.

It would just be much easier to use UTC as the standard for all cross-timezone activities. The small portion of the population who needs to think about timezones would just have to add another timezone to their digital tools and the others won't have to do anything.

Purist brainrot is thinking that criticizing moralistic politics means siding with zionists and being racist. Same energy of calling anti-semitic any criticism of Israel.

People commenting on the internet from thousands of KMs away in their room: "this is not enough, they should have done more". It makes you feel good, because you are making a moral point about the insufficient morality of others. It makes you feel better than them.

Never punish somebody for taking a political step in the right direction. This is not about you feeling good but it's about them building change. We can argue if change is possible within Israel's society, but it's not on the people who decided to do something.

DEI is definitely used in corporate environments. I understand this use of the term as "rightswashing", where the corporate performs inclusivity without actually doing anything about it.

Experience itself is a fiction. What you see through your eyes or hear through your ear is a fiction, a fiction you decide to believe.

Its impossible for the consciouss mind to not experience anything

Lot of people would disagree on this. A lot of spiritual practices are exactly about experiencing the non-experience, experience what cannot be described, explained or thought. If you're lazy, a big enough of an LSD dose will bring you there in a couple of hours.

Spirituality is the system you use to create reality. Reality is not a given, it's something you build for yourself. What you're describing is also a very specific spiritual and metaphysical system.

in Italy, the monkey is of the symbols of the Tech Workers Movement

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

I followed a similar trajectory, leaving the tech sector to pursue politically-motivated jobs. Am I locked-in? Probably, my linkedin is full of agitprop. Do I care? No, the world is on fire, there's no coming back. I get to the end of the month, I'm doing important stuff, fuck careers, there are more important things.

The person I know that got fired is even more gung-ho than me so I can imagine they don't care either.

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 23 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

From what I know, no. It's full of more politically-aligned workplaces, like NGOs and research groups, that crave politically-motivated people with tech skills. I know personally one of the fired workers that went on to do a PhD right after being fired.
