We're focusing too much on *how* we built software, not enough on *why*. It should be about people. It is about greed. When we're creating problems instead of solving them, it's time to take a step back

Our workplace laws don't give sufficient protection to people whose workplace is the outdoors.

For many years we've tried to highlight this for #aipollution too, especially for those exposed to traffic, including the many people employed as drivers.

The Trump-Musk alliance isn't just authoritarian-looking. It's more dangerous than that. It's technoauthoritarian. Please read all these but especially no 10, listen to women of colour. Everything bad that has happened on the internet happens to them first.
