Infinite growth on a finite planet is not ambition. It’s a physical impossibility. You can’t bankrupt the ecosystem and call it GDP growth.

Eutrophication, the term used to describe water that is so high in nutrients it causes an explosion of algae growth leading to ecosystem disruption, is defined by water containing more than 0.03 mg/L of 4/19

Lichenologists tell you of a stone as an ecosystem of constant growth and decay. Folklorists tell you of a stone as a complex ecosystem of tales and shifts in the collective imagination. At times, we archeologists are bolder, we try to give the stone a voice. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Every moment in a capitalist economy is designed to encourage profit growth for billionaires/corps. We work, we produce profit. When we're done work and "relax," we produce ad revenue via our phones/TVs. Creating mass amounts of art does not fit that ecosystem, so it's intentionally squeezed out.

For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage.
Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.

the thing is that bluesky, for all its growth, still doesn’t have a right wing ecosystem big enough to support accounts like Loomer without the rest of us
these people thrive on negative engagement and you cannot quote dunk them off the app, but you can make it so boring and useless that they leave

The best way to treat grifters like Loomer is to ignore them entirely. Don’t let her outrage bait you. All she wants here is to be yelled at and insulted. The absolute worst thing that could happen to her is to be met with silence.

It didn't help Nixon, but the growth of RW media has accomplished exactly what Ailes intended & promised: it has filled the information ecosystem with enough lies & nonsense to prevent any kind of collective deliberation or judgement. In that environment, you can crime all you want.

Bluesky's recent success is not driven by federation or composable moderation, it's driven by the desire for a less toxic ecosystem. This creates inherent tension between the company's founding principles and the reasons for its growth. Or more succinctly, no policy survives contact with the users.
Moderation decisions draw intense public scrutiny from many places. That’s why Bluesky's architecture is designed to enable communities to control their online spaces, independent of the company or its leadership. We will continue to work on empowering people with more control over their experience.

We’ve got growth charts from eg March 2025 of the last conference.
Any idea on the growth of dev activity?

Illinois is on the leading edge of the quantum revolution.
Our state’s been able to go all-in because the research and innovation ecosystem for it exists here in the Land of Lincoln.
And we’re delivering economic growth and opportunity to the people of our state with each breakthrough.

Private prison corporations are an abomination. As soon as you create a profit motive, you give birth to an ecosystem of lobbyists and lawyers who are incentivized to maximize the number of incarcerated people to hit financial growth targets.

Capitalism demands growth, forever.
But when you're already the most valuable media property in the country, by far... what if all that growth ruins the ecosystem you feast on?
How much is enough?
