"Nobody comes to work wanting to do a bad job, but low-quality results are now the norm."

Ask yourself: Are you doing the best you can for clients and the entire world?

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2026

Embedded in this year's network and device estimates is hopeful news about the trajectory of devices and networks. It has never been easier to deliver pages quickly, but we are not collectively hitting the mark. Indeed, the latest CrUX data shows not even half of origins have passing Core Web Vitals scores for mobile users. Browsers will need to provide stronger incentives. This will be unpopular, but it is clearly necessary.

We should only take from the land what it can naturally give! Water is precious here. Both the groundwater we can draw from our borehole and the rainwater we harvest from the roofs are limited resources. To protect this fragile balance, we must limit the number of guests; and even then, everyone’s care and cooperation in saving water is essential.

Libraries are cutting back on staff and services after Trump's order to dismantle small agency

Libraries across the United States have cut back on some digital services weeks after the Trump administration's move to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Maine has temporarily closed its state library and others across the country have paused their interlibrary loan programs. The reductions in services coincide with a lawsuit filed by more than 20 state attorneys general and the American Library Association to restore funding. They argue only Congress has the authority to control federal spending. E-book and audiobook programs are especially vulnerable to budget cuts, even though those offerings have exploded in popularity since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meet the new wars, same as the old wars - just substitute rare earth elements #RREs for oil, with EVs driving it all.

"We will coup whoever we want" - Elon Musk

#OverConsumption is at the core of our problems. More consumption just leads down the same old paths.

The new industrial revolution requires a fresh national security agenda

It is increasingly clear that steady access to minerals and rare earths is essential to our and our allies’ military security, economy and overall well-being.

S&P Global has completed a look at the #LimitedResources needed by the #ClimateChange incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act for EVs and #renewableEnergy.

"energy-transition-related US demand for the critical
minerals lithium, nickel and cobalt, taken together, will be 23 times higher in 2035 than it was in 2021. For copper, it will be twice as high. This is equivalent to
compound annual growth rates of 25% for the three critical minerals and 4% for copper." Most of that is for EV batteries

@Salty And if you've got 300 miles of range on your EV, you're using up precious lithium, copper, and other #LimitedResources without any compensation to the commons just for the convenience of using the same vehicle for the 2% of all trips that are longer than 100 miles.
