You are right in challenging the words that I’m using. The oakframe is highly experimental, and so there will be words that ends up not getting traction. It is part of the process. It’s similar to how you have to allow yourself make mistakes when trying to do a new waxt. Flawlessness prevents growth.

I think that the word “waxt” has potential; It is culturally rooted in Old English, and works in norwegian as the word “vekst”. Words like these are easy to translate and keeps their poetic nature because the images of the words are universal and all languages has these images.

Thank you for your suggestions! Right now, I’m just posting a little bit everywhere to increase the exposure in different communities and see what resonates. It would be good to have a place to post, but what I really need is honest feedback.

I made the oakframe in an attempt to loken Gaja. It’s a project focusing particularily on the role of the language in how we bring about transformative change, for example through relighting and sighsteer. The question that the oakframe asks us is; How do we move our attention away from the destructive towards lokening.

The oakframe sais Gaja is unwell because of structures of migth which we call the machine, but it also sais that this machine is socially constructed, and so we have the change force to dissolve these structures. The construction of the machine happens through our language and how the language paints our world.

I don’t have an official spot for posting about the oakframe right now, because I’m still in the discovery process. I’m also primarily developing it in norwegian.

It comes from anglish “loken” meaning to heal, it is related to Old English “læce” IPA /ˈlæː.t͡ʃe/ meaning doctor.

raid against humanity

Googol is a hitten for great quantities, it worked great as a word, and it would be great if Google lost it as a trademark. However we have the force to seed a new word that has a similar image.

If the internet was an ocean of content, then we could say “let’s ocean it”. Ocean as a verb makes as much sense as the verb google.

Branded language makes us only see one choice, its very anti competitive.

That’s a raid!

Stand your ground.

Google reducing traffic for websites worldwide.

But for real, I think GrapheneOS could take this stand if they’ve got the balls.

But I think the real reason nobody is doing this is the paradigm of reasonability.

Nobody want to step their foot down, because that’s not reasonable. We are supposed to make it work like the wife exposed to domestic violence.

But we need to stop being reasonable and start being assertive.

Im just waiting for somebody to make a plan for resistance. So far the best I have seen is going to the doorsteps of google to cry and beg them to stop.

thats not my cup of tea

Thats where philosophy comes in. I dont have the answers.

Fediverse are hives of benevolent dictators. The dictators must do what they feel is right for the hive.

The hives assumes dictatorship.

If we want this to change, we need to demand hives that are built with democratic control in mind.

I dont think it is a slur. To be rich is even to this day associated with good qualities.

in other words, the word rich doesnt reflect reality and we have to weed it out

I think grabber is more suitable, because they grab property away from the commons.

Release the grip!

I have tried to use gimp for a while and it still feels backwards, but inkscape just gives such a great first impression! Feels so intuitive.
