Lucy doesn't rate VR or AR and is much more in favour of #tech that doesn't detach us from reality.

In response to threats to forcibly remove moderators if subreddits don’t reopen, /r/pics polled it’s users and has chosen to reopen after changing its rules to allow only sexy pics of John Oliver.

Malicious compliance at its finest. Way to go, fam!

Our current crap #tech funding and #dev agendas are a part of this extinction level event https://news.sky.com/story/world-has-lost-battle-to-stop-glaciers-melting-and-sea-level-rising-un-meteorological-chief-says-12898899

The last 20 years of #techshit has obviously been both pushing this problem and doing almost nothing to stop it. On the #openweb tech side, we are still being prats on his.

Please think about this #geekproblem, thanks.

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.

Twitter’s ad revenue is down 89% and not many users are signing up to its paid subscription. In April, it’s removing “legacy” blue checks and further prioritizing paid accounts.

For Disconnect, I explain that Elon Musk needs this to push more users to subscribe to Twitter Blue so he can pay his $1.5 billion in annual interest payments. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

This chart shows the percentage of female employees at big #tech companies (based on self-reported figures in 2021).

The percentages of #women specifically doing tech jobs is lower, given they make up <25% of those positions.

With the recent departure of visible female leaders in companies like Meta & YouTube (replaced by men), I’ve been wondering whether there are any women left in top roles at major tech companies.

I’m genuinely curious bc I can’t think of any. If not, why?

I think my time was about the phase-out for schools to teach real-life #tech at a young age. We had computer class and we'd have to use the iMacs for it. But then by the time I got to 5th grade, we all switched to #Chromebook . The switch the Chromebooks was bad because you're teaching kids how to use an awful interface they'll never use in the real world. Teach kids #macos and #windows . And teach the techies #linux as well!


CORNWALL. What are you doing THIS Saturday?

#Cornwall #Tech Jam is happening at Falmouth University Sports Hall, Penryn.

#RaspberryPi enthusiasts are welcome from 9.30am – 1.00pm.

Gotta give posthumous flowers to Jerry Lawson, the man who created the first video game console w/interchangeable cartridges.

It was a watershed moment for gaming. As this USA Today article notes, it was "the foundation for today's global video game market."

In his honor, there's a Lawson exhibit on permanent display at The World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY

Now imagine if Mastodon didn’t exist and this was happening.…

Aren’t we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?

Hopefully we’ll get lucky again…

Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech that’s in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic “projects” that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.

We (myself included) have taken this for granted for 50 years. But … Damn, we built rockets, spaceships, protective suits, & all the comm/control systems to make it work, … and then sent people to the MOON! And back!
And we did all that with the primitive computing capabilities available back then … 🤦‍♂️

Last year you helped us raise over £30,000 for the #RaspberryPi Foundation during their end-of-year giving campaign.

Those funds helped them give more young people computing opportunities, and we want to make an even bigger impact this year.

You in?.. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/give-young-people-the-chance-to-create-with-technology/

You can donate any amount, no matter how small. It all adds up. And whether you’re able to donate or not, we’d love it if you shared this post to help us reach more people.

Hands up who has heard of "Queen of Wearable #Tech" Sophy Wong.

We got to know her a bit better in official #RaspberryPi magazine The MagPi.

Do you folks like podcasts? We’re still not sure what you like. Eben Upton is on a podcast at 1pm (UK time) on Sunday. You don’t *have* to listen live, because it’s a podcast and you can listen again later, such is the nature of podcasts. But it could be fun.

https://www.cambridgetechpodcast.com/

It’s called the #CamTechPod. I imagine hashtags like #tech and #podcast then maybe #Cambridge, and of course #RaspberryPi, would be useful in this instance.

Help us and contribute to a CRAPPY EVERYDAY COMPUTER TECH BINGO!

For a short #permacomputing talk at zinecamp this sunday in Rotterdam/NL, we will be doing a small bingo about all the everyday situations created by inaccessible, incompatible, inefficient, rigid, failing, extractivist, environmentally disastrous crappy computer tech.

We do that to address several topics to a broader audience who may not be familiar with notions of vendor lock-in, proprietary standards, software bloat, cornucopianism, siliconization, planned obsolescence, software rot, maximalism, etc, and *yet* are suffering, like everyone else, from all this stuff on a daily basis.

Do you have ideas for silly situations and painful feels? We will make a final version this coming Saturday as well as credit contributors, and point to the post's URL. Of course we will also post the final bingo board here as well 😀

(and on the permacomputing wiki of course https://permacomputing.net)

Thanks!

:boost_requested: boosts are very very very much appreciated!
