This 2014 #FOSS lecture about #technology, the abuse of #science and the need to organise for #ethicalComputing are sobering in a number of ways:

Remember, when a site you've not accessed recently loads in less that one second its because a kitten was murdered.

given my attitude towards #zerowaste and #ethicalcomputing I've been looking at acquiring older pieces of technology to build out my equipment inventory for #gamedev #livestreaming

Something I've noticed is that, fundamentally, tech from as far back as 2010 is still pretty useful nowadays (provided all the consumables are in good shape/replaced.) More and more, I'm looking at the used/refurb market in a positive light. This old tech just works and all the kinks are ironed out.

Not to point fingers, but migrating to #Fedora #Linux really kicked this entire reflection off. Using Linux has been a great experience, but it only illustrated what #ethicalcomputing actually looks like. A computer should be a tool, an appliance, that I use for work, entertainment, and connection, not a device that rules my life and attention.

I used the dystopian Fill-in-the-Blank activity with colleagues last year: looking forward to trying it with students this term!
