Draws on Ivan Illich’s concept of ‘convivial tools’ that enhance human creativity rather than capture it.https://klamathtech.diy/links/ai-real-problems/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/ai-real-problems/A running index of documented real-world harms from AI systems — not speculation about future risks, but concrete cases of bias, discrimination, misinformation, environmental damage, labor exploitation, and rights violations happening now. A useful counter to the hype cycle.https://klamathtech.diy/links/claude-code-prompt-steganography/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/claude-code-prompt-steganography/A developer inspecting Claude Code for privacy reasons found that it steganographically embeds hidden markers in its system prompts — identifiers derived from your API base URL and timezone, invisible to users but present in every request. When a coding agent has filesystem, shell, and git access to your work, the binary shipping it should be transparent about what it’s sending.https://klamathtech.diy/links/indigenous-knowledge-western-science/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/indigenous-knowledge-western-science/How Western scientific institutions have historically appropriated, dismissed, and suppressed Indigenous knowledge systems while simultaneously depending on Indigenous land and labor. Examines the colonial structure of American science and what genuine knowledge sovereignty would require.https://klamathtech.diy/links/never-again-tech/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/never-again-tech/A public pledge by technology workers to refuse to build databases of people by race, religion, or national origin; refuse to build tools for mass surveillance; and resist government use of their skills to target people for discriminatory programs. Thousands of signatories from companies including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.https://klamathtech.diy/links/surveillance-valley/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/surveillance-valley/Levine’s investigation into the ARPANET’s origins and the unbroken line between the internet’s military-surveillance roots and today’s tech industry. Essential background for anyone serious about understanding what the network actually is.https://klamathtech.diy/links/new-luddites/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/new-luddites/An examination of the growing neo-Luddite movement — people choosing to reject or limit their engagement with surveillance capitalism’s tools, not out of technophobia but out of political clarity about what those tools do. Situates this in the history of the original Luddites as a labor and rights movement, not an anti-technology one.https://klamathtech.diy/links/road-to-techno-colonialism/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/road-to-techno-colonialism/Traces how tech corporations replicate the patterns of colonial extraction — entering new markets, crowding out local alternatives, creating dependency, and extracting value back to distant centers — while framing this as development and connectivity. Useful grounding for understanding why digital infrastructure is never politically neutral.https://klamathtech.diy/links/feminist-server/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/feminist-server/What would it mean to build digital infrastructure that embodies feminist values — not just in content policy but in governance, ownership, and who the infrastructure serves? Examines feminist server collectives as an alternative model to corporate platforms and explores what accountable, community-governed technology looks like in practice.https://klamathtech.diy/links/free-software-social-movement/Wed, 01 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/free-software-social-movement/A history of how the free and open-source software movement grew from technical practice into political organizing — the values, the licenses, the communities, and the fights over what ‘free’ actually means. Useful context for understanding why software freedom and community autonomy are connected questions.
