I haven't been to the UK in a few years, but dear god, costs have exploded, haven't they?

I put the numbers together for the tickets of the three day conference I was planning to join, the trip, the AirBnB I would stay at, the visa & ETA (another new thing you have to have), and food and I come to about €1000.

For five days all in all.

It's an interesting conference, but this might just not be feasible.

But should anyone be interested in a conference on #cybernetics, and have the means, do consider going there:

YouTube

As biomech advanced the usage ethics turned to a near zero response. It was doubleplus inexpensive in terms of labour, resources, and production time to use a human brain with its already developed support system. To use chiptech cost more.

Foetal data collection was used extensively near the front lines. Easily cobbled together from warscrap a unit could be plus hidden near, or even behind lines, to collect a vast arraywise amount of data.

This unit was discovered nearly 7 decades post Conflict, dutywise collecting data with no uplink to receive the stream.

My profile tells me it's just over a year since I joined Mastodon, so a bit late for an #introduction but I hear it is a good way to get started on here.

As per my bio, I'm an #ecosocialist from #scotland . I'm principally on here because I write #blogs where I #review things I read, watch or play.

Other than that, my key interests are #culture, #politics, #cats, #taichi, #SF, #books, #systems, #cybernetics, #taoism, #environment and #degrowth.

Recommendations for follows are appreciated.
