America Last
"If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all."
~ Mark 9:35
We need to be able to hold multiple truths at once.
1) Taking out Maduro ... don't like it, can understand it?
2) US Companies leveraging opportunity to extract oil and resource ...
Fuck that entirely.
From a global strategy perspective, the Americas do need to have greater alignment and cooperation; but these relationships cannot be owned by Fortune 50, Fortune 100, nor Fortune 1000 companies.
The relationships need to be owned by communities; and that is where DigiSnaxx enters the picture.
Designed to be owned by no one, but rather accessible as a tool for everyone to learn and grow.
Not Facebook. Not LinkedIn. Not BlueSky, Instagram nor TikTok.
DigiSnaxx is MeetUp meets Wikipedia meets GitHub.
Open-Source; and eventually globally distributed via independently maintained servers.
Your feed is just a collection of events and public notices from your chosen locales.
I've spent the past 20 years developing the infrastructure for an ecosystem; because white people took my child from me, and I had nothing better to do.
Now, I just want to teach English classes (which I'm doing, enough to pay my monthly bills) and develop DigiSnaxx along with the associated properties Rebel Coding and AppDeveloperOne; along with Manifesting Empathy, of course.
I've got a bit of money saved in a 403b; Fidelity account.
Skin in the game, as it were.
And I'd like to get a place out in the country; grow my own food, maintain my own server and do it all with sustainable energy.
That's why this can be built with open-books as well; I'm not looking for much of anything more, or rather, anything more I would like, I can get through the same mechanisms as everyone else via DigiSnaxx.
Eventually DigiSnaxx merely becomes an API for local events and information; supported by local businesses and individuals.
My personal take home is capped at $5,000USD per month; and that is split between Mamo and I; that is our foundational UBI as founders, to enable us to do this work.
As soon as this can be replaced with work outside of DigiSnaxx and DataSnaxx subscriptions, that will be done; at which time, all Snaxx funds will be directly re-invested back into the work.
While I will continue teaching enough classes to pay my Colombian bills (~ 12 hours per week); and my portion of my personal funds will go to creating a team of assistance to accomplish my work.
You all have signed an agreement, be that regarding the most recent news and events in the United States, or the Minnesota Tech Diversity Pledge; you've expressed a desire to build something different than what has been built.
I now ask your support in doing exactly that.
I was raised in Minnesota, and still have someone I love residing in the State; as well as an LLC to reactivate as soon as I get my State refund, I suppose.
What is needed is collaboration, but before this can happen, we need to tool to organize collaboration; DigiSnaxx provides this as a utility, open-source and maintained by an independent community.
Soon to be hosted independently as well; an infrastructure for education and growth.
And this is what it means to become last and servant to all; this is the pivot America needs to make ... to become again, a beacon of open education and collaboration – which we know is what truly advances individuals, communities and people.
Individuals can support for as little as $6/year, and businesses for as little as $120/year.
