Bruce MirkenThis is so painfully obvious it shouldn't need to be said, but I'm glad a major news service is saying it, and clearly. #IranWar #RenewableEnergy

Itamar MedeirosWe spent decades moving beyond #commandline—toward #interfaces that made work visible.
Now we’re rebuilding everything as chat.
Not because it fits the work, but because the tech allows it.
This isn’t a technical shift. It’s a design regression worth debating.

The Conversation Trap: why defaulting to chat might be the biggest interaction design mistake of the AI era » { design@tive } information design
We didn’t evolve past command lines to return to them in disguise. Not every task should be conversational—and designers should know better.
TechAltarEvery pro-renewables politician should be working at 100% capacity to flip the "the greens are making your life more expensive" narrative into "the fossil fuel lobbyists are making your life more expensive" right now, but I fear our side is too nice to effectively exploit a situation like this

Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱I was doing some research for a video and randomly came across this image from GM, which was on a page to promote the benefits of electric vehicles.
This image is obviously photoshopped, but look at this place. It's prime waterfront land, directly across the river from a city, and it's being shown as a featureless asphalt surface.
Even in their "optimistic" visions of the future, car companies' vision for cities is shit.
PaulaToThePeople 😷You don't have to be perfect, but every step you take in the right direction helps:
X, Insta, TicToc -> 
https://joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_projects
Microsoft -> Install Linux on it
AI -> ask intelligent humans instead, e.g. #AskFedi
Google -> https://noai.duckduckgo.com
GoogleMail -> @Tutanota
iPhone -> jailbreak it, use it until its dead, get a Fairphone with @e_mydata
Amazon video, Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, etc. -> Torrents
Google/Microsoft/Apple calendar -> physical calendar
Zoom -> meet friends IRL, or use @signalapp
Whatsapp -> Signal, or better yet @mollyim
omnivorism -> vegetarianism, veganism, freeganism, flexitarianism, ... (just consume fewer animal products and save food)
car -> public transit, bike, car-sharing
flying -> discover the beauty of your closer surroundings by train
job -> general strike
consumerism -> sufficiency
despair -> collective effectiveness & empowerment

A reminder, so people don’t forget. Substack unabashedly platforms and promotes literal Nazi publications.
If you publish on Substack or support authors there, you are paying rent for nazis. It’s that simple.
Refuse to support authors there, and they will move.

I find #Shakespeare speeches hard to follow, even after speaking English every day, all day, for almost 20 years. But this speech is worth the effort.
