Mietin tässä, että jos tuo #velkajarru tulee ja tappaa talouskasvun joka tapauksessa, niin voisiko sen puitteissa sitten ruveta edes tekemään kunnon degrowth-politiikkaa. Talouskasvun itseisarvoistamisesta olisi pitänyt päästä eroon jo vuosikymmeniä sitten. #talous #degrowth

The increasing distaste for AI slop will hopefully also increase the distaste for human slop.

Down with everything that sounds or looks great on the surface while being total bullshit on the inside.

Ozzy kuoli, ja se joku WWF-magapelle kuoli, mutta niiden välissä Amiga täytti 40 vuotta ikään kuin korostaakseen olevansa edelleen elossa.

Olen alkanut monen vuoden tauon jälkeen taas tilata RSS-syötteitä (Feedbro-niminen webbiselainlisuke ainakin näin aluksi käytössä).

Koska some tarjoaa jo klikkiotsikot ja oikeistomedian pääpuheenaiheet hämäräperäisillä kriteereillä sortattuina, olen tilannut vastapainoksi kaikkea muuta.

Minkähänlainen huuto yritysvastaisuudesta tulisi, jos Suomen Kuvalehdessä painettaisiin tänään puheenvuoro otsikolla "Superyrittäjät ovat talouselämämme loisia"? Tässä yritysjohtaja Riekkinen, SK 15/1979.

Taas se aika vuodesta, että IT-alan ajattelu tympii, joten pitäisiköhän oikeasti laittaa nyt käyntiin se reilut parikyt vuotta mielessä hautunut peliprojekti. Mielenravinnon jakaminen kansalle inspiroi enemmän kuin mikään mitä korporaatiot tekevät.

“The demise of appropriate technology as a living social movement can be dated almost to the hour and minute. It occurred early in the evening of Tuesday, November 4, 1980, when it became clear that Ronald Reagan had been elected President of the United States.” - Langdon Winner

I had the pleasure of being invited on one of my favourite podcasts, @manymindspod.bsky.social, a week ago.

We talked about string theory. No, not the physics—but knots and string figures.

Humans have a long history with string, but it’s a thoroughly understudied topic.

2010s was a decade when Huxley's "Brave New World" felt more relevant than Orwell's "1984".

Now it looks like "1984" has become the more relevant one once again.

Pixel art from a 1530 book of embroidery patterns, proving that dragons have been popular in the artform for a very long time. I personally find the more "folkish" patterns more interesting because of their algorithmic geometricity, but fantasy themes can be fun too.

Occasionally, it confuses me when I see an American use Watts as a measurement unit for power, just like normal people. "Shouldn't they be using, like, horsepowers or something?"

Joskus oli Threadsissa puhetta sitä, että sen nimi on foneettisesti hankala useimmille maapallon asukkaille.

Mutta aina voi pistää vielä paremmaksi. Joku voisi ostaa Twitterin ja antaa sen nimeksi ÖYH. Joka kielelle sitten uudet öyh-alkuiset sanat tarkoittamaan twiittiä ja twiittaamista.

This is astonishing - it’s #Elite on the VIC 20! Aleksi Eeben has taken the #Commodore64 source and has ported it to the C64’s predecessor.

It’s looking pretty amazing! Huge kudos to Aleksi, this is a really impressive feat. 🫡

And yes, I even made a demo in the summer. Haven't really made demos in this decade, blame the Covid years. Made with the tools I originally made for VIC-20 demos, so it's basically just another PWP VIC-20 demo with the same esthetic and political preferences, just for the C-64 this time. #demoscene

Been here since the invite-only days but haven't really even logged in since. Maybe it's a good time to increase activity. Huge social media migrations are always fun to witness.
