It’s always such a pleasure to have @danmcquillan.bsky.social on the show! I was particularly excited to chat about decomputing, the possibilities it offers, and how it can focus our critique of the exploitative tech systems we depend on.
Is it possible to imagine a better future where we use less computation? The effects of AI hype almost demand it.
This week @danmcquillan.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to lay out the concept of decomputing as a different way of assessing technology.

Mark Carney and Doug Ford pushed through legislation to override Indigenous land rights.
This is not "nation building."
It's about getting the riches of the Ring of Fire from the delicate peatlands of the James Bay lowlands.
