Beautiful work by Creativity & Change in Cork this weekend. #sociallyengagedart #refugeeswelcome #immigrantsarethesunshineofcork

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech isn’t always an easy feat, and I don’t think it’s useful to be a purist. US tech is everywhere and it’s very hard to fully extricate oneself, which is why governments need to step in. But I still think there’s value in making the effort. www.disconnect.blog/p/getting-of...

🛠️ New article out! We reviewed 79 studies on #AirQuality communication strategies to understand what really drives #Awareness & #BehaviourChange. Spoiler: top-down info helps awareness, but real change needs participatory, multi-level approaches. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨New paper out! @maricacassarino.bsky.social @dvenables.bsky.social and I mapped #AirQuality communication needs in Cork using #DesignThinking. Findings? Strategies must inform, empower, and tackle systemic barriers Read here www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Oliver @haimson.bsky.social kindly presented the book in one of our @patlabucc.bsky.social meetings. Highly recommended. A very important topic, even more in this period. At the link you can find a podcast with an interview to the author

NEW BOMBSHELL REPORTING FROM DER SPIEGEL Mobile numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to top Trump officials including Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard have been found online, revealing an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels. 1/

Ireland’s experience with data centers is a warning to us all for the consequences of the tech industry’s ambitions. They want to do what they’ve already done in Ireland everywhere else too — and we shouldn’t stand for it. Great to speak with Brid Smith to learn more.

Thrilled to announce the @datasociety.bsky.social Generative AI & Labor Primer by Aiha Nguyen & Alexandra Mateescu. It covers how GenAI impacts many forms of work, the human labor behind GenAI & AI's impact on worker control & surveillance. A labor/tech must-read! datasociety.net/library/gene...

A great example of how putting together technology and reflections on circular economy, sharing, commons can make things better for all 🧸
