Big project update today, as we officially have a front-end set up for the app. Please check this thread for an introduction to the project. (lemmy.world crosspost)

Technical Info
It's running tailwind v4 as a watch service in it's own container, which I'm excited about because I've never experienced how convenient it makes development.

The UI items are DaisyUI, and the charts are from ApexCharts. The icons are HeroIcons. Of course, there will be a attribution page in the software for all the assets and packages that are used.

Sidebar
Very excited with the behavior of the sidebar menu so far. It has single-link items as well as group items. You can expand the groups individually and the sidebar will partially open to accommodate the sub-item names (Timeclock, Actions, etc). Or you can hit the toggle at the top to fully open it and reveal the item header names (i.e Dahsboard, My Items, etc.).

If you toggle the menu closed it will collapse down to the second picture shown above, including closing any open groups.

If the menu is partially expanded to accommodate open groups, and you close the last group, the javascript event listener will detect that and fully collapse the menu.

Themes
I will post the different themes I have so far as comments. Please vote for your favorite!

You can make me a theme to test at the daisyUI website here: DauisyUI Theme Generator.

When it looks the way you want, click on the black 'CSS' button at the top and copy/paste the code block into a comment here so I can respond with a screenshot of your theme on the dashboard.

Anyway thanks for checking out the post! Cheers!

This is basically MKUltra being used by the corpos. These techniques, when practiced by paid intelligence operatives, I think generally involve manipulation in the real world in addition to internet stalking.

For example, going into someone’s home when they’re going to be gone for a while and moving things around. Something seemingly innocuous like an item being in an unusual or suggestive place can invoke a fear response in the target if it remains unexplained or is followed by additional incidents.

This could be coupled with targeted information placed in public in places the target is likely to frequent, such as their commute to work.

Targets are discouraged from talking about the incidents by stigma surrounding mental health, and if they get targeted enough it will become difficult for them to distinguish the actual attacks from regular information floating about.

1.4 Mission Statement The mission of the company is the well-being of all people. To accomplish this goal we will operate business ventures designed to generate income through which we can secure our own well-being and consequently become empowered to help others.

---

Today we are witnessing the spectacular failure of Capitalism to provide for the needs of this planet and the people on it. In previous eras of class instability, the focus was often on the bifurcation between those who wish to dominate, and those who wish for a world without domination. While the ideals of a world free of domination are admirable, its proponents face the cold reality that those who specialize in domination are able to accumulate more power than those who do not seek it.

This need to dominate is typically associated with hierarchical organizations, and for good reason as they are the mechanism that allows individuals to accumulate unconstrained executive power. However, rather than trying to dismantle hierarchical systems, our collective recognizes them as an essential tool for problem-solving and productivity. We intend to capture and incorporate hierarchical management into large, democratically owned and managed cooperatives called “Strategic Unions”. This will enable organizations with similar power compared to today’s capitalist corporations, but with social equity and Article 1.4 as their most fundamental goals.

The plan is to deploy open-source Enterprise Resource Planning software to coordinate the efforts and voting that will take place in the co-op. You then recruit like-minded workers from your area to join your server and begin organizing and holding elections. At this point, workers in your cooperative will put forward business plans and become candidates for CEO. The members vote based on the candidate and the business plan, and the person who wins is not a dictator. They are a mandated agent of the co-op, and they are removable by vote. Their job is to coordinate the business project according to their plan in order to generate revenue.

After elections, you incorporate as a Strategic Union, which means filing Articles of Incorporation as a C-corporation in your state. You will then have bargaining power in your area based on the size and specialization of your workforce. You can use the Master Staffing Agreement template to negotiate labor contracts with local businesses. Your co-op members are hired out full time, so the member-worker gets a paycheck in a similar arrangement to a staffing or temp agency. The co-op gets paid by the hour and the amount left over after paying the worker (the margin) funds the CEO’s business plan. This allows for funded without capitalist investors. It’s a “bootstrapping” process, meaning the first business plan is self-starting. Once the staffing contracts are no longer needed, they are dropped.

Following this plan, you don’t have to work at the same business to organize a union. You set up your server and organize with whomever you like.

We are asking you to take on Article 1.4 as your personal mission and join our efforts. Or, we could ride the crapitalism train to wherever it may be headed. Your choice my friends.

These are MKUltra-style techniques. The basic idea is to track the persons habits and movements then put suggestive messages or even meme-type information in their path in order to fuck with the person.

They aren't designed to "inject thoughts" into someone's head or anything silly like that. The goal is to confuse the person to the point of panic, so that they become paranoid and irrational over time.

Hello folks,

I posted about a month ago introducing the idea of a “Strategic Union”, a cooperative management model that separates administrative oversight from operational management, hopefully leading to healthier and more productive workplaces for everyone involved. To implement this, I’ve started developing Enterprise Resource Planning software specifically for this type of company, and a small team is forming, but we need more contributors.

The model and software are intended to enable the growth of these cooperatives into large, problem-solving organizations interested in complex, integrated projects such as major bridges, sustainable residential skyscrapers, or high-volume manufacturing lines, to name a few. It should also work for a variety of other applications such as large retail chains and restaurants.

The idea is anchored in the philosophy of Hierarchy by Consent, which examines the role of hierarchies in society and whether we really want to get rid of them or instead bring them under democratic control to the benefit of all.

• Hierarchy by Consent argues that hierarchies are necessary for complex projects involving large teams, but they must be constrained by a democratically elected body which prevents the hierarchy from reinforcing its own control structures (anacyclosis).
• The paper explains the Strategic Union management model and how it maintains stability and social equity without sacrificing productivity.
• The paper concludes by calling for the creation of an alliance of these companies to build counterpower.

We’ve all had a bad boss, I get it. But I’ve also had good bosses, who take the stress of the job in stride to help the team coordinate their efforts. In this model, the entire team participates in mutual performance reviews designed to provide constructive peer-feedback and, if desired, can be used to adjust hourly rates within an agreed upon pay band. Mediation will also be available, with escalation to an anonymous vote if needed.

Read Hierarchy by Consent.

Apoidea Cooperative Management Suite: I started a repository on Codeberg for Enterprise Resource Planning software to manage these organizations, and we’re looking for contributors. So far I have had a small contribution from a part-timer, and I’m hoping some of you might take interest as well. I’m particularly hopeful to find someone else to realize their own vision on the front-end. Of course, the more folks looking at this, the better.

• Tech stack: Docker (soon Podman), postgres, nginx, SQLAlchemy, gunicorn, jinja2, Flask, Alembic, and Redis. Frappe Gantt will be necesarry for the project planning system on the front-end.

• The eventual goal is to host it on a server and run a test case with “points” instead of money.

Programmer or not, we still need your help! Our Community on Matrix is small but growing, and we’d love to have you. Send me a PM if you’re new to Matrix.

I’ll be around to answer your questions and consider your critiques, as that is what is really needed to get this project off the ground. I’m going to include some of my own questions and FAQs as comments, so please forgive the clutter.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, you may remember I dropped by a while back concerning my cooperative management project.

The idea has evolved to building an open-source Enterprise Resource Planning application specifically for worker's cooperatives. While most ERP software focuses on driving top-down directives, the goal of this project is to enable the cooperatives to work, make decisions, and resolve disputes more efficiently than basically any other type of company.

Current tech stack: Docker, postgres, nginx, SQLAlchemy, gunicorn, jinja2, Flask, Alembic, and Redis.

Please check out the repository documentation if this sounds like something you may be interested in. The docs include the foundational philosophy document called "Hierarchy by Consent" and there is also a template for an Articles of Incorporation that I intend to include as the first default document template in the software.

I'm still pretty early in the process but most of the tables are set up and I've made notes in the the classes explaining the requirements and workflows.

I've also got some issues started on Codeberg, mostly related to the front-end, which is where I need the most help at the moment. I will certainly be glad for help elsewhere as well.

It's an open-source project so there is no immediate financial incentive. Part time contributors are certainly welcome.

There's a discussion room on Matrix and here is the Repository.

Thanks folks

Hello everyone, it’s important that we realize just how oppressive the Epstein class has become, and nothing shows this more strikingly than EFTA01830200.

Apparently back in 2010 Epstein paid Seckel tens of thousands of dollars to clean up his image online. They used bots and hacking campaigns to drive the sex trafficking news stories out of search results and instead pushed Epstein’s supposed "philanthropic work" funding scientists. They also fucked with his Wikipedia page big time. You want proof we’re living in 1984 and the Mandela effect isn't just your imagination? This is it right here.

That was 16 years ago, now imagine the unseen shit they’re doing with the tools of today, like targeting individuals. It’s only going to get worse.
