🌟 Back to the Glow (S2025-E07)

Wherever you are on this tilted planet, a new season is turning—and with it, a quiet call to return to the glow of the screen. It’s time to gather the ideas scattered by sun or snow and shape them in the soft light of our hacker dens. The world outside is changing its rhythm, inviting us to code, to compose, to build. So power up your battle stations; the most luminous work begins when you are ready for it.

👾 Come out and play!

Planet Dyne can be found everywhere on the Interwebz. This is, of course, convenient, but it also feeds a machine that has clearly gone rogue.

The planet is not going to delete anything anytime soon. But a choice has been made to shift focus away from the corporate silos and beam that same energy towards things that offer more genuine interactions, based on more humane values.

🥳 Noema's 25th anniversary

Noema is celebrating its 25th anniversary! To celebrate, it decided to make the eBook that tells its story a free download until September 21st, in both the Italian and English editions.

🗳️ A clear "Nyes"

Switzerland, which is usually slow-moving, is taking the lead in the substantive debate around eID. Jammed between accelerationism and the fast-paced digital reality, electronic Identity is by no means an easy topic.

But at least, the Swiss experts and civil society have a say.

🗃️ lsget

Ever felt like a file index over HTTP is not only boring, but tedious and slow to navigate? Have you found yourself wishing you could just CLI yourself into that index, and ls or find the living crap out of it, before downloading what you were looking for? Or why not just download every PDF on that server, without having to click through every folder, like a simple get *.pdf command? A good dyne has built that something for you: a tiny Go-powered web server with a full‑screen, neon‑themed browser terminal.

📺 Jaromil on Codice

Special for the Italian-speaking dynes, a wild Jaromil appears on Codice, a show on RAI

🦾 Don't trust me, bro!

We’ve automated authenticity. AI-generated video is no longer clumsy—it’s convincingly, dangerously real, building believable worlds from words. But all is not lost. Our era demands we relearn how to see.

Prepare your mind for what's coming by reading this piece by Jaromil.

🐳 PartArt4OW has launched its Second Open Call.

They’re looking for bold, community-engaged proposals that combine science and artistic practices to prevent, study, and reduce water pollution in the Mediterranean region. From plastics to chemical runoff, noise to micro-contaminants, pollution threatens both ecosystems and communities - especially the most vulnerable.

🔍 The call is open to proposals that:

Actively engage citizens, moving beyond simple awareness-raising.
Combine science-based research with experimental and understudied artistic practices.
Co-create new ways of understanding and tackling pollution.
Focus on the communities living in close proximity to the ocean, water basins, and rivers
Address key societal and environmental challenges of those communities and amplify the unheard community voices.

Please help spread the word!

🗓 Deadline: 2 October 2025 at 17:00 CET
📅 Call opened: 1 August 2025 at 12:00 CET

📖 Read a book

Eclipsory Publishing House is a neat source for interesting reads. Have a look at their selection. Some dynes are currently reading this one:

... and it's a good one!

🦺 The safety of facts

We like to believe that truth is a shield, that the right data will eventually pierce through the noise and correct our course. But what happens when the very idea of a "fact" becomes contested territory, a battleground not of information, but of identity and belief? This essay argues that our deepest crises are not of knowledge, but of meaning—and that a spreadsheet has never cured a soul-sickness. We are not rational actors in a debate club; we are storytelling creatures, armed with confirmation biases and tribal allegiances. To navigate this disorienting age, we must understand why a compelling narrative will always outperform a pristine statistic, and what we can possibly do about it.

🎉 Copy Pirates Parties

They're great! The only problem with them is that many of them happen on another planet, and it can be hard to get there in time. But what if there was a way to have a permanent, remote Copy Party? Well, that's pretty much what 9001 set out to build, and you can run one too!
