👩‍🎤…I still got some #punk rock cred! So, it's last session after 3 days of #UndoneCS. I admit I zoned out, had trouble concentrating on Nils Bonfils' talk “Cultivating a Historicist Sensibility through Permacomputing”.
Through my mind haze, I hear Nils say the word “#anarchist”, then, “#anticapitalist”. Suddenly I'm wide awake & completely focused.
#PunksNotDead

I'm glad too as this #permacomputing stuff is extremely interesting & definitely important to future of #FOSS.

Interesting point made by Damien Lacroux: the problem isn’t the absence of anticipation, but the absence of a *shared* anticipation.

Technology and the Collingridge dilemma. #UndoneCS
Slide: Technology and the Collingridge dilemma. Two curves illustrating the observation that in the early stages a technology, it’s still easy to control, but the impact is hard to predict. At a later stage, the relation is reversed. Reference: D. Collingridge, The Social Control of Technology (1980).
