Floss Manuals industry takes 6 months - manuals in 2 days
book sprint
what are the roles, who sets the goal? - anybody can contribute it but there is a facilitator
can I learn sthg by writing the manual? Ctrl quality? entrance exam? project no entrance level
'porting' manuals - floss manuals are not part of the softwares they describe?
making manuals for people who are not in the project already - manuals user-friendly
write manual at the level, with the mindset
put manuals and software in two worlds?
cookbook approach - small snippets
difference of tone
write the manual first and then write the software
booki wikisystem

theory of media below the level of representation
evil text - strategies - technicity of persuasion - of subjectivity
Florence <> Brussels
stratagems based on extreme formalisation of human behaviour and thoughts
humanitarianism of free software - evil is the primary purpose - occupy the space of evil
grey criticism - grey litterature
user error
systemic ambiguity CIA → textual detail - almost everything can be considered ambiguous
ambiguity is an indicator of deception
the other is always a bearer of hidden message - if not decoded, it must be forced to not be ambiguous
world of today, not only text but also databases
litterary criticism not only between texts
ambiguity happens between media systems
formal languages contain no evil, but the don't exist in a void, and therefore must be translated into natural languages
systems interacting → mutual misunderstanding
ambiguous sign <> systemic ambiguity
dataveillance forensic can avoid sometimes ambiguity
immanence grise - decyphering of signs - generate uncertainty - open space for undeterminacy
jouer les generations les unes contre les autres ds le lieu de travail
reversability of relation of power
user era → shaping relatins in the world of work
good unambiguous software - competence of the user - users persist in not thiniking like machines
users are products of ambiguity - not just an error - the script someone follows in a call center
- performing conversation following algorithm - caller adapts to the script - have a nice day - supervisor can
stop listening at what they are saying
failure of internalize new forms of systems/production/productivity
persistant user error → lack of belief in the company mission statement
OO throws exception
user errors decline because users are more used to the syntax
take responsibility for a system means take resp. for its failure
blaming ambiguity on user error can only last for so long
user error → people have not internalized expectations of machine work → positive
in the absence of uncertainty users is being used, code has become law
recursion cultural pleasure of programmer relaunching itself
loop - derivable pattern of activity - behaviour placed into other recursions
control requires recursion - who guards the guardians? eye-tracking device of guards watching CCTV feeds
cyclical deference of control
social network
target finding and avoidance
stratagems recurse upon themselves
leak
no general taxonomy of the leak → dissemination of all narratives
neglegted proper containment
leak strategy - it was a draft
mobilizes user response
beta version is a decoy
possibility of the leak can be designed into a system
whistleblower
staged exclusivity - paparazzi
