Somewhere in the midst of the javascript frameworks and the nonsense valuations and the shitty AI features and the RTO plans and the godawful union busting, we forgot how much *joy* there is in making websites. Whatever happens with work from here, we need to get it back.

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

@bobbyllew.bsky.social @fullychargeddan.bsky.social this morning I was sad to see I got an email saying @rippleenergy.bsky.social had unfortunately had to call in the administrators. Maybe you can lean on good potential buyers- maybe @octopus.energy !?

Saw the sad news that @rippleenergy.bsky.social has had to cease trading and bring in administrators. As @octopus.energy are starting their own community energy stuff, feels like a good fit for a buyer!?

imho the play for renewables is to lean into the off-grid, libertarian, fuck-the-govt aspect of residential solar/wind

like, the water heater in your SHTF bugout bunker is dependent on your local gas utility? absolutely statecucked

for this reason I propose to you: 'conservative energy'

Being asked by comms as a "fun" exercise to come up with a more appropriate synonym for decarbonization under the new administration.

✍️There's something SERIOUSLY exciting happening in the world of batteries: an innovation that could pave the way for incredibly energy-dense, fast-charging cells in our cars and smartphones.
But there's a catch; quite a big one.

Fuck it, we can call them all out - please collect the worst UX nightmares you see this Christmas and send them over. Take photos, videos, describe it - jonty@jonty.co.uk

I'll shove them all on a website and try to embarrass companies into fixing them.

Press friends: I shall be in touch

Hearing about how my father in law’s dad fitted one of these to his car in 1977. First implementation of traffic alert radio and remote controls! petrolicious.com/articles/rev...
Revisiting The Original Uber Audio Upgrade: The Blaupunkt Berlin
For better or worse, as things go, anywhere a car is displayed or exhibited for critique, the radio is becoming more of a focal point during the scrutineering, or more accurately, nit-picking process....

Did you build the the new data centers?

Sure did boss, right in the middle of a water-stressed desert, just like you wanted

"Arizona’s Maricopa County is on track to having the second largest concentration of data centers in the United States by 2028, behind only Northern Virginia’s Loudoun County"

Uncontrolled data centre expansionism causes severe regional impacts -->>>>
