Technologies change our collective sense of what\u2019s possible and, in doing so, they change our sense of how things should be. https:\/\/aeon.co\/essays\/what-drum-machines-can-teach-us-about-artificial-intelligence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brilliant #aljaffee<\/a> .. his illustrations and work were such a big part of my childhood and adolescence .. still have all my #MAD<\/a> magazines https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pK6xE-9sdI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four office co-workers live and work in #calgary<\/a> downtown where virtually all the office buildings, malls and apartments are connected by a maze of glassed-in bridges. The friends have all staked a month’s salary on a bet to see who can stay indoors the longest. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nT1cNFDzPt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis found that the 34 mines\u2019 power use was causing nearly 16.4 million tons of carbon pollution each year.” https:\/\/archive.is\/iWpoR<\/a> #crypto<\/a> #energy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There\u2019s also a negative side. https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/society\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Libraries<\/a> have stored and cared for physical books for decades, and if readers are becoming more comfortable with online formats, why can\u2019t a #library<\/a> digitize the volumes it owns and loan the digital copies in lieu of the physical ones? https:\/\/archive.ph\/Qnbq8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be the perfect time to fund what could easily be a self-sustaining #cooperative<\/a> #coop<\/a> that sets up and operates instances on behalf of journalism organizations that could verify their own journalists. That would solve a lot of problems, and restore (some) genuine independence to the craft .. https:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/2023\/01\/04\/journa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 28, the Canadian government\u2019s budget announcement introduced a plan to implement a #righttorepair<\/a> for electronic devices and home appliances in 2024 https:\/\/theconversation.com\/giving-can<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth of the matter, when it comes right down to it, is that most homeowners don\u2019t want #housing<\/a> to be more affordable if it means the value of their property has to go down in the process, or that more people are going to move into their neighbourhood.

How a peripheral ideology becomes mainstream: Strategic performance, audience reaction, and news media amplification in the case of QAnon Twitter accounts … “future performance of group identity” #socialmedia<\/a> #politics<\/a> https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/14614448221137324<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary reason for our stalled progress on #poverty<\/a> reduction has to do with the fact that we have not confronted the unrelenting exploitation of the poor in the labor, #housing<\/a> and financial markets.” https:\/\/archive.ph\/a569K<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
