Take care and be well, please. <3 Ceci PS: - Hey hellekin... The dinner was _not_ a romantic invitation at all. I just want to listen some fun hackerspaces stories and thank you for your eternal patience with me. You can take with you wife/wives, husband/s, girlfriend/s, boyfriend/s, lover/s, pet/s, plant/s, ET/s, whatever. :D Just take care for avoiding my death and/or painful injuries, please.

The report, which estimates 1 in 3 children worldwide have elevated levels of lead in the blood, said that lead in water is a common source of contamination. Lead can be especially dangerous when exposed to children, who absorb 4 to 5 times more of the lead that enters their bodies than adults. Elevated blood levels can potentially have lifelong socio-economic implications for children, the report said, including educational outcomes, violence, future wages, and children’s social and economic potential in life. /Report UNICEF : / /https://www.unicef.org/sites/default/files/2020-07/The-toxic-truth-children’s-exposure-to-lead-pollution-2020.pdf / | 15:02:18 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/dec584b0-c587-4b4e-9cf7-e15fa77fe9b8 Hi all, I hope you are well and healthy out there. I am looking for people who would be willing to share their views on: if and how learning is relevant to activities in hacker- and makerspaces. Working as a postdoc research fellow at the University of Sussex, I was supposed to visit hacker- and makerspaces this year and interview members. But due to the pandemic, I am now instead hoping to find current and former members of hacker and maker communities who are willing to make time, ca. 15 minutes, for a survey. For those happy to help (it’s much appreciated!), you can find the survey here: https://universityofsussex.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0BM60F81lJpJeHb If a survey is not for you, though you would like to provide input: I’d be glad to (video-)chat or hear about your views by email too. Also, this is the kind of work that came out of the project so far – in case this helps you decide whether you want to participate: https://doi.org/10.1080/14461242.2020.1784772 Be in touch if you have questions, comments, etc. :) Lastly, I know there’s been some criticism on researchers using this list for requests like these in the past, so apologies to those who would have rather not been bothered by my email. Take care & all the best, Annika My Univ. of Sussex profile and contact details: https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p488526-annika-richterich PS: I’d like to acknowledge that I'm asking people to invest their time for free: but I hope you’ll consider that the research project also aims to raise awareness for the fact that hacker and maker communities tend to be societally undervalued and, in the case of hack(er)spaces, still muddled up with cracking. It aims to highlight the value(s) of hacker and maker communities, while also paying attention to how potential benefits could be made accessible to more people. More practically: all publications will be made available as open access, just like the one linked to above. | 12:33:54 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/cbf4701d-a73c-407b-bf71-96ba369d5110 Why the quotes in "for all"? As the global capitalist society continues, we do not have enough drinkable water for all humans, let alone the rest of the living. We've seen countless times how much water is used by extractivist companies to remove metals or hydrocarbons from the ground, and how these processes pollute water beyond sanity. As they do it with impunity, I guess hackers would be able to stop them in their tracks by extracting compromising information from them, or killing their machines. At some point, DIY is not enough: you can certainly help build water filters and purifiers from citizen science, but you cannot simply stop the harm made to rivers, cultures who protect them, and stop the massive fabrication of metal-based and oil-based products, including vehicles and computers. It's war that makes capitalism possible, maybe it's time to wage war on capitalism. == hk | 06:31:12 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/beb744d8-fdad-4079-a46f-779a024cc39d Blaming capitalism is a little short-sighted. There would be no standard oil without JP Morgan money. Corporate monopolies are not a product of capitalism per-se. It's the financial sector with their puppet government regimes that creates them, feeds them inovations(gov sponsored R&D, foss movement, startup "culture"), and keeps them alive via corruption and "free market" or "consumer protection" or "environmen protection" regulations(yes, 99% of all environmental movements are a rich man's trick Alice). With an army of a new type (or a new kind) of aristocracy and nobility spread across all layers of society from hackerspaces to NGOs to media up to upper management of various corporations..to keep you - the well-meaning good-hearted, naive idiot - fighting to bring about your own enslavement, thinking you are actually doing something good. Interrestingly, it appears *to me* that the financial sectors image of a not-so-distant future is far worse than what Karl Marxes wet dream would be - which then begs the question whether they are not fostering this corporate destruction of our planet themselves so that (naive) people would actually beg for, cheer and welcome the arrival of a new "global gulag" system they invisioned (as every ruling class has since the dawn of society), a system wrapped in some fairy-tails abou environmental protection, freedom, human rights - you know, rainbow unicorn wrapping paper idnc_sk | 10:17:30 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/128cb3e8-7c04-4a56-b319-bbf2b8350958 Hi Dear Hellekin, First of all, I would like to make it clear that I agree to exclusively fight against ideas and not against people. Now think of the transformations that began to happen with the network sharing of images obtained by the cameras of cell phones available to people. And now think about the possible changes when ordinary people have instruments for chemical analysis of water quality, available on their hands. And be able to share this information in the same way we share images? I want to draw attention to the importance of raising the level of "risk perception" of ordinary* people to the water theme. Because I believe that an increase in the "perception of risk" about water security can motivate behavioral changes. *By ordinary people I mean people without technical and scientific knowledge about water.

Markos is a really good person, but English is not his first language and some of his ideas about the use of natural resources are not considered usual even here, in our country. Let me tell you a little tale about a very, very sweet guy named... I don't know, uh... David. Let's see... I think he is French... and is traveling! ;) Some time ago, I was telling him a little about my "best imaginary friend" Mirimir and David's reaction was more adorable than Keanu Reeves playing with puppies... I had no time to explain him that Mirimir is a real person, an Info Security guy using a fake persona for hiding his real data. David thought I was feeling very sad having an "imaginary friend" as my bestie and asked for being my Mirimir, a real Mirimir, giving me support and making me smile in sad moments... It was so unexpected and so sweet that I cried for hours that night and I still cry when I tell this story... He was feeling hurt and fragile, but wanted to protect me from sadness and loneliness... :') I do love my Mirimir, but I have other imaginary friends and also real friends. And now, I have my David! <3 So, my lovely hellekin, give Markos a chance. Human beings are very, very complex... Too much! :P I love you very much. Always take care and be well, please! <3 Oh, the same to the whole list! Much love, peace, sincere friendship, and music!!! <3 <3 <3 Ceci | 17:57:14 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/0eec9dbf-d0b1-4737-934b-452efa18a8a4 Markos, I completely agree with you that given the right tools ordinary people will "do the chemistry". Yet with information alone we cannot change anything. Before the Snowden Apocalypse we knew something was wrong, and Snowden brought the proof: yet seven years later, not much has changed and if the struggle works down the line of breaking systems, its pace remains relatively slow compared with the harm broken out to the world by powerful systems ; even inertia beats the good waves any time. For years, we've had pollution measurement kits (https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=pollution&go=Go), water-oriented hackerspaces (Yachachiq in Peru, Hackerfleet, Waterspace in the Philippines), yet no single coordinated action has taken place like for blinkenlights or hackerspace hardware, the space program or microcontrollers: there's an attention-shifting issue at work here. Despite the yearly radical shake up of CCC, few inter-hackerspace projects focus on matters of life, except maybe in threatened places where such matters do count right now. I was only questioning the quotes around (water) "for all": were you quoting something I missed, or expressing some kind of limitation on the outreach of "for all"? Cheers, == hk | 08:30:40 |

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/9bcc15fb-c521-4992-848a-696a5eb5fc7d Dear Hellekin, I understand, we agree that something needs to be done to change the course of things and to avoid, or at least, minimize the negative consequences of the current economic model. Negative effects that will be felt mainly by the poorest. I think the difference is in the way each one acts. Some people engage in macro-scale strategies, while others, like me, are more dedicated to micro-scale actions. Or nano-scale :-) I think all of these strategies are important. And respect all initiatives to improve people's quality of life. Please, let me just comment one more question about Waters. In the last message i talked about the importance of acting in the "risk perception" about the theme Water with analytical devices. Now I would like to comment on the "perceived value" (www.investopedia.com/terms/p/perceived-value.asp) of sewage. People, generally, just discard sewage and consider it worthless, and spend an important part of their income to buy energy mainly for cooking and heating. Now imagine "affordable", "optimized" and "automated" biodigesters projects for "home use" converting black water (sewage) and food waste to biogas (at home). Wouldn't it be a way to to influence the "perception of value" of sewage and thus contribute to reducing the organic load of domestic sewage? Many people, perhaps the majority, would be interested only in saving money spent on energy. But everyone could benefit from reducing the organic load that reaches rivers and consequently the pollution, at some level, of some urban rivers. Especially in the poorest regions. Thanks for the references to the projects. I didn't know about these initiatives. And thank you for your attention and contributions.

View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/4d4233fe-b31b-44a2-9efe-fd376ba91ff7 Hi All Sorry if i missed the intention of the thread but i was attracted to this point from Hellekin which i consider crucial for a possible further development of a hackerspace movement (and contribution to society as a whole) beyond localized impact on communities. I think the observation of a lack of inter-hackerspace projects or how to scale social and tech projects that are more demanding at least to a regional level is something that should be payed attention to. In short, it is urgently needed as we can verify in other grass-roots movements for the necessity of a wider collaboration and support on critical issues such as global warming. Hope i explained myself. Best, | 18:46:03 |

In the context of my PhD thesis we are currently conducting a survey to (1) improve our Photonics Makerspace, (2) learn more about Makerspace users in general, and (3) support academic research. We would be very happy if you participate in the survey and share it within your network. It just takes 20min! ENGLISH survey: https://ww2.unipark.de/uc/MakerspaceUsers/?a=1 GERMAN survey: https://ww2.unipark.de/uc/MakerspaceUsers/?a=2 CONTENT OF THE SURVEY Makerspace usage Collaboration experience and interests Collaboration expectations Demographics BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION We will donate 1.00 € for each completed survey to the Maker Community (www.makervsvirus.org/spenden/) You help us to improve our Makerspace You help to support a PhD project You can get a summary of results A few words on my background: I do my PhD in the field of makerspaces and open innovation processes at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Furthermore, I work at the Lichtwerkstatt Makerspace which has a strong focus on light and optics (photonics). With the Lichtwerkstatt Makerspace we support projects that make photonics technology more affordable and accessible for everyone. One of the projects in our Makerspace is UC2. A modular optical toolbox that allows you to build your own microscope and many other optical systems. It uses 3D-printing and is open source. More info on that project you can find here: https://useetoo.org/home/ and on GitHub https://github.com/bionanoimaging/UC2-GIT. If you have any question, please reach out to me any time!
