I’m Entering My Curmudgeon Era

joanwestenberg.com · Mar 05

My current project: I've been dusting off the old hard drives with my ripped CD collection and loading them into an iPod. A 20-year-old piece of tech with its click wheel intact, no WiFi, and no algorithm feeding me recommendations I didn't ask for. The result: I've started listening to

NOAA: The Biggest Little Agency in America - emptywheel

emptywheel.net · Mar 06

What We are Quietly Losing in All the Tumult Last week the ghouls of DOGE came to gut NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) by firing all the probationary employees, because they were the easiest to fire. It was terrible, but it won’t be their last visit. I wanted to take a mom...

ABC Shuts Down FiveThirtyEight, and Pulls the Plug on Its Website

daringfireball.net · Mar 06

From the perspective of a company the size of Disney, it would cost veritable pennies to keep FiveThirtyEight’s website around forever. What a disgrace.

Linkrot is always a problem for the web, but please let’s not purposefully destroy our own content when it’s easy to keep it going. John Gruber on 538 shutting everything down:

"Why not keep the FiveThirtyEight site up and running — at least for a while, if not in perpetuity? It costs practically nothing to run a website serving a static/archived website. I don’t get it. It betrays a profound level of disrespect for the work that the site hosted."

Justin Ferrell (@developerjustin) · Mar 06

Gotta agree with @gruber here. Setting aside the closure itself, our society continues to show that we are not good stewards of the content we create and the audiences we amass.

Never assume anything digital will be there when you come back to it.

Let's talk about #Degrowth...

Imagine an economy designed to serve the planet and ALL its inhabitants, not just the most powerful. What might that look like?
______________________________________

Countries that have overshot ecological limits would scale back their non-essential production and consumption to lessen environmental impacts and to decarbonise more rapidly by:

❇️ Reducing reliance on cheap fossil energy
❇️ Reducing the use of material-intensive luxuries like SUVs, private jets, and oversized homes
❇️ Stopping unsustainable practices such as the industrial production of meat and the culture of fast fashion
❇️ Curbing the wealth excesses of the very rich
❇️ Promoting public transportation over private vehicle use
❇️ Fostering a culture of durability and reparability in consumer goods

Simultaneously, the focus would shift toward enhancing social progress and human well-being by:

🔷 Guaranteeing universal access to high-quality essential public services like healthcare, education, childcare, and transportation
🔷 Ensuring affordable housing and living wages for all
🔷 Implementing a public job guarantee; a nationally-funded program where the municipal government provides jobs to those willing and able to work

Embracing these changes does *not* mean rejecting technology. A balanced approach where technological innovation and efficiency improvements are pursued as long as they are sustainable, safe, and equitable should be encouraged. The focus is on using resources efficiently, distributing them fairly, and scaling down non-essential production to help societies achieve self-sufficiency and justice.

In fact, there are people that slap together code and their criterion for success is "it compiles".

(I'll have the #rust folks sit down, this isn't about you 😉 )

I don't want to be pessimistic, but I am happy that I got to experience software development when I did.

Reading this article in Ars about “vibe-coding" with AI

Part of me wonders whether I'm being some kind of stick-in-the-mud for resisting machine assistance, but then I also keep coming back to the idea of my artistic practice: not just the output of the code as art, but the writing of the code as art

The dumbest trade war in world history is underway and Canadians are responding to the idiocy by changing their spending habits. American liquors have been pulled from store shelves and Canadians are trying to replace American products with Canadian equivalents at the grocery store.

This is a great example of patriotic unity during a time of crisis. ... The boycotts in Canada will likely change consumer habits for decades to come, regardless of how long this stupidity lasts.

Speaking as a Canadian who lives in the U.S. and has been covering technology for almost two decades, I would like to make one more suggestion: consider also boycotting American social media companies.
