If we're theorycrafting alternative acronyms/movements to FOSS, I kinda like ALAARM - Anarchic Liberatory Art Across Regions and Mediums. Not just because it would let me comedically reclaim people calling me an alarmist, but that ain't a bad perk.

    It *should* be anarchic - pushing against our trends of authority and hierarchy in real life society. It *should* be liberatory - it is in-scope to make people more free, and not just in narrow ways. It *should* be art - not just engineering, not just "technical merit" as judged by white boys. It *should* be across all arbitrary political borders, or it's not liberatory. And it *should* encompass far more than just code, and not put code on a special pedestal or devalue other forms of art.

    @MaddieM4@raphus.social "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology" (*Gunpei Yokoi) should be part of the general goals and expressed in there somehow :)
