I think Sicily gets a "winning while losing" award for this. #climateChange

@npub1fdr…lvhs has an #OpenLetter to #PolicyMakers to create a regulatory environment to prevent the #enshittification of our already partly enshittified #CleanTech
https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/26/unplanned-obsolescence
You need to read it, but most importantly, those who can actually, factually, change the system, before we're broke, living in a tent next to a mountain of #EWaste, need to read it.
In #Germany, I'm looking at you: @npub1s6p…uzkk @npub1scx…wur3

@npub1fdr…lvhs on the practicalities of #jetpacks "Even a brief moment's serious consideration should make it clear why we wouldn't want the distracted, stoned, drunk, suicidal, homicidal maniacs who pilot their two-ton killbots through our residential streets at 75mph to be *flying over our heads* with a reservoir of high explosives strapped to their backs."
I read this after driving two hours on Michigan highways, and this gets a solid AMEN from me. The #trucktopia here is a bit unsettling.

In the #1990s, large-scale adoption of inter-connectivity of those PCs via #BBS, whether it was via #Compuserve, smaller #ISPs, or the #AOL behemoth, really took off. This changed how people exchanged information. This web ( #web1_0 ) was largely a one directional vehicle for information, despite the success of "interactive" applications like #email and #usenet. 3/16

In the #1980s, personal computing took off with the #IBM #PC, #Commodore64, and #Apple products. This changed how people worked with, used, processed, and viewed information. I like to think of this as the 0-dimensional case, in a mathematical sense, as if each user were an isolated point. 2/16

Some thoughts on where we are with the evolution of #InformationTechnology, #AI and #machinelearning how we got here, complete with a silly #mathematical anlogy.
