📱 Tumbled, stumbled, stayed sustainable.

New EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling laws have entered into force.

Your smartphone or tablet must last longer, be easier to fix, and use less energy.

Here’s what changes for you ↓

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

Agree. I will never understand the desperate wish of tech promoters and AI users to avoid doing the things that make us human. Writing is hard; that’s the point. Art is difficult to make & worth it. Reading can be a challenge; it’s how to learn. Why delegate these to soulless AI? To do what instead?

Yeah I usually hate the old “capitalists want to charge you to breathe the air” stuff but damn this really feels like they want to take books away and charge to have a computer read for us.

As usual in these cases, one man's personal ambition, amorality, and damaging family dynamics mean that thousands must die.

As with Putin.

As with Trump.

As with RFK jnr

As with any dictator you care to mention.

There has to be a better way than this.
This is one of the most eye-opening things I've read this week. If you're interested in what drives Netanyahu, I'd really recommend it. 🧵1/n

Excellent article from David Landy of TCD on their courageous decision to cease collaborations with Israeli universities and other institutions. Would love to see my university, TU Dublin, following suit.

I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

I literally cannot remember the last time I agreed with a Daily Express front page. Terribly strange feeling.

I have changed this password so many times and this account keeps being hacked into. Can anyone advise me who to contact? Or else I will just delete the account and have one less social media to deal with.
