Important to watch.
Nothing new, but well explained.
Datacenters are drying up drinking water supplies & consume the energy of cities - models with less/little compute are possible & the public needs to step up to understand the consequences of big tech in their backyards.

Happy Birthday Arduino!

I don't want to be associated with brands, but if there is one exception that one is Arduino.
It brought incredible creativity in my life, a tool I use that I use both professionally and in my creative practice.
Thank you Arduino!

This year, for the first time in years, I got barked by pedestrians for being on the paths destined for people on bikes and non in the Bay Area. Wide paths, low density, yet I’m the enemy #1 for biking.

Is the fossil-fuel-propaganda/twitter-brain-rot biting even the wokest parts of America?
