Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.
Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Greetings from Kyiv.
No power at home, so I’m having a warcoffee in a nearby café.
Caught the moment when the lights went out here too (they’ve already switched to the generator).

Ostrom was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. The committee recognized her work on "economic governance, especially the commons." We are not doomed to overuse our shared resources - sustainability through collaborative governance is possible.

Think the energy transition's moving at a snail's pace? Think again! While politicians squabble, the market's having a field day - solar and wind are leaving fossil fuels in the dust, like a Tesla smoking a Model T.
