hacked emails/text messages from Sierk

by Jake Watters

On May 6th, Sierk's computer was hacked by someone in Omni Commons who accessed his computer when he left it unattended. They took over his Facebook account, replacing it with a "Dillinger - Public Enemy No1" logo and sent direct messages to me, and to another person at Omni who was hacked in the same way a few weeks earlier. They also took over Sierk's Google account including his telephone number, and created a Signal account with his number, and communicated to me from all those accounts claiming to be Sierk. I finally talked with Sierk in person (on May 7th) and confirmed that none of the accounts were in his control, and he had no way of getting back control of his Google account. Last night he asked me (in person) to tell people at the Omni that they should disregard messages appearing to come from him (including over SMS/text messaging), which are now asking for money. *Sierk says that people should ONLY trust in-person communications with him for the time being. *He can often be found at Omni, working on his computer upstairs. -Jake

Space Clean out?

by July Tenenbaum

Hello! Was hoping a day could get picked to do a major space clean out and Mop Removal? Would love to have the space to get the woodworking corner working and I’m sure there are valuable parts that we could set up an Ebay corner for that we just haven’t sorted through- I’d be happy to volunteer a few days for that! -July

Fwd: sudo-discuss Digest, Vol 139, Issue 9

by Romy Ilano

Spencer, Sorry I missed this thread from a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if we can take this to a wiki (I get a digest of SudoDiscuss and it's not easy to thread these conversations!) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com Awesome, I would love to hear more about your japanese notecard approach. I'm an unabashed Obsidian + Anki user - and I think there are tools/scripts/plugings that can resurface content "just in time" -- but there is a danger of throwing everything in a digital file never to be seen again. How about a show and tell of current systems, would you be able to do a recording at Sudoroom and I will set one up at THS? For me it will have to be next month. Some other questions: - how do you begin to know what you don't know? How to create a syllabus for a new domain of knowledge - what is too deep and what is too shallow - mind mapping, skill trees etc - how to organize analog notes - how to do "analog search" - gamifying learning so that you actually want to review the things you studied - project based learning - how can you learn something new through a project, but not get frustrated that you don't know the thing you are trying to learn through the project... - sharing list of resources, hackerspace wikis etc ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <sudo-discuss-request(a)sudoroom.org> Date: Tue, May 7, 2024 at 1:07 PM Subject: sudo-discuss Digest, Vol 139, Issue 9 To: <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Send sudo-discuss mailing list submissions to sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to sudo-discuss-request(a)sudoroom.org You can reach the person managing the list at sudo-discuss-owner(a)sudoroom.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of sudo-discuss digest..."

Ban Update

by William Myers

I want to say that I’m sorry for the inappropriate email I sent out banning Trevor. I thoughtlessly sent out an email full of complaints from a third party which should have been kept private. This was a violation of both parties' privacy, and contains a lot of harmful and dehumanizing language that no one should have to experience. And worse, the unequal treatment of a POC constitutes a racist double standard. I want to apologize for the harm I’ve caused, and the damage and trauma I’ve caused by making POC in our community feel unwelcome and targeted. I sent out the message after receiving multiple complaints on multiple channels, giving it a sense of intensity and urgency and was concerned there was some immediate ongoing incident which now doesn’t seem to be true. We have caught a lot of flack for not having a way to respond to urgent issues, but I was not in a good mental state to be responding to incidents, and was irresponsible for me to share this information. It was illogical for me to respond at all, Safe Space Bans are only for people in the building who feel unsafe, and other longer term bans are handled in committee. Again I want to say that I’m sorry for the harm that I’ve caused and endangering our community. I hope I can regain the trust of those affected by my actions. - William

Digital de-escalation

by Romy Ilano

I like this article. Nice points here the term "Digital de escalation" I am rethinking my way of learning and using technology. While I cannot live without tablets and laptops, and my electronic pencil, reintroducing paper notebooks, flashcards and print books has improved my productivity greatly. I think digital deescalation and working out ways to reduce online learning is going to be a new future trend! https://ethic.es/english/tech-savvy-sweden-leads-global-push-to-ban-screens… "Dans adds that in the case of Spain, in many places «the tablet and the pad or the traditional book already coexist. Many teachers will tell you how drawing, touch, handwriting help development, memory and creativity. Digital tools are useful, but we must combine them with handwriting and traditional reading. Learning to ride an electric scooter is fine, but you have to know how to walk first»." ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
