Inside the dyne's mailbox a little seed. Planted and watered, it might just grow another edition of Planet Dyne.
Scrolling an infinite, attention-grabbing, omnipresent feed of information from the tip of the finger, it can feel as if the world is dissonant. Well, good dyne, it is. But what is dissonant to one dyne, can be beautiful harmony to another. The celestial bodies don't care about scales, nor do they bother with whatever color smol beings project upon them. And while the corporate webshit machines are hard working at amplifying the undertones of our differences, dynes from everywhere are here to remind you that we are the world, fellow dyne!
💫 Future is Rural
If you are new to this newsletter: Welcome, fellow dyne! If you've been around a minute, you probably read about PACESETTERS in the previous episode. One of PACESETTERS' real-world laboratories is the city of Genalguacil. This smol town in the south of Spain has been living in the spirit of The New European Bauhaus for 30 years now. Resilient and determined to push-back against depopulation, from the 14th to the 21st of April 2024, Genalguacil hosts the only rural satellite event of the NEB events in Spain. This satellite is a site of co-production combining film-making, with food-making - as ways to renew our connections with heritage, nature - through arts, and culture. It aims at challenging people’s stereotypes of what being rural really means, and reframing innovation from where it is the least expected… The future is rural!
Parts of the event will be streamed on DyneTV on April 20th, for your viewing pleasure.
🤙 Dynebolic on ZDNET
Dynebolic v4.0.0-beta has been out for a couple of weeks, and already good dynes from all over the galaxy are getting their hands dirty. Reviews come in from here and there and the channels are getting warmer. Jack Wallen, Contributing Writer at ZDNET writes a tasty piece about it. It is full of love and understanding. Clearly they get it.

Honorable praises, but there's still a lot of work to be done to push for the final release. Have you tried it already, dyne? Come say hi in the channels, the dynes hacking in there will gladly help you free your creative workflow form the iron claws of rentifying corporations. You don't want to miss this boat! (spoiler alert: it's never too late)
🚢 Bloat or float
It's the year 2024 on planet dyne and the interwebz can do everything. It can send faxes, it can close your doors, watch your baby and get you in jail. The computing power and bandwidth increase incessantly, and looking at their curves from the point of view of the past makes it seem like we'll soon have access to the last digit of Pi...
Jevons's Paradox enters the chat.
A good dyne from a neighboring planet creates a benchmark for JavaScript webshit in 2024 and the results show how easily the concept of "normal" can shift.

👨🏽🎤 Communities, not webshits.
Defining love is difficult. It has so many shapes, forms and expressions. Dynes can love each other, but dynes can also love robots and webshits. One instance of the latter phenomenon recently turned into a big drama. Imagine a poly-amorous relationship between a bazillion of dynes and one webshit. It was cosy at first, but after a while the webshit started doing all kinds of crazy crap you'd expect from a toxic partner. This in turn forced the bazillion of dynes to reluctantly break up with the webshit. It was sad. Beautiful graphs of beautiful dynes were shattered and tremendous damage was caused to grassroots organization.
But it was also a new beginning: many dynes turned to the decentralized social networks. With wounds still bleeding but new experience and hindsight, some dynes realized that it doesn't make sense to try and emulate what was. The relationship should begin on a healthy basis. Thomas is on to something...

👩🏾 Can there be a web without women?
The long answer is: No.
🐇 Matrix in the matrix
While giant corporations are pushing out megatons of marketing bullcrap about proprietary virtual spaces, some excellent dynes have built open, decentralized, immersive worlds based on the Matrix protocol. Most of this VR frenzie still feels like it did in the 90s to the derpy ol' dyne writing this newsletter. But there's delight in knowing that the space isn't entirely crowded by white-collar execs with big plans of value extractions. This thing is actually quite fun. And since it is on the Matrix, one can participate the way you'd expect in any chat.

Inside of it? Simple beauty in Multimedia! Maybe a little bit of mystery, too. Planet Dyne's residents certainly hope it will make you feel something positive.
🎊 That's it for this edition of Planet Dyne!
Clearly you know what love is, fellow dyne. Would you even be here if you didn't?
