Everybody talks about how nothing is affordable anymore but no one talks about how poorly made and disposable things are. Part of the affordability crisis is because we keep repurchasing things, cars, appliances, clothes etc because things don’t last.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

grading my electronics students midterm synth projects is so funny because my comments are essentially communicating “this part was cool” and “that part wouldve been cooler if…” using somewhat technical language. and then at the end i write that i took points off for not soldering lol

starting to plan the electronics faire proceedings and designing always helps me visualize the event. this year i am pulling inspiration from maintenance and repair manuals. i loooove the visual language for the brother jp-15x electronic typewriter, found on the @archive.org !!!

been watching the dune spin off series and it's such a wonderful fever dream. its premise is a school for women on alchemy, honing psychic power, witchcraft, eugenics, and manipulation goes to extreme lengths to continue the exile of digitality across the universe lol.

really enjoying reading _The AI Con_ which just came out! "To put it bluntly, 'AI' is a marketing term. It doesn't refer to a coherent set of technologies. Instead, the phrase 'artificial intelligence' is deployed when the people building or selling a particular set of technologies + 1/2

Yet another example of how “automation” just yields a seemingly paradoxical mix of “responsibilization” and “depersonalization”: you get to wrestle with shitty software and raw data all on your own, with minimal (if any) support from other humans, with their institutional knowledge, wisdom + care
