Happy to have published my first post on the Green Web Foundation blog - a reflection on the experience of collaborating with @tunubesecamirio and many other excellent folk on a response to the public consultation on Spain's new Data Centre Law […]

Para la gente de España a quien le preocupa los impactos ecosociales de las infraestructuras digitales, aquí hay una buena oportunidad para influir en la redacción de la nueva "Ley CPD", que se encuentra en un proceso de audiencia pública hasta el lunes 15 de septiembre […]

How are other folks involved in education navigating the AI-ification of everything? I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the only position I'm comfortable taking with respect to AI is one of total non-engagement, which, (surprisingly) has not been a problem in the design/tech side of […]

There's a new issue of BRANCH out! https://branch.climateaction.tech/issues/issue-9/ - This issue's theme is ATTUNEMENT and was a collaboration between my Green Web Foundation colleagues and the critical infrastructure lab at UVA.

In the before times we used to run a festival called 'algomech' in Sheffield UK. The pandemic put paid to that but we're now coming back with a new small festival called Alpaca (festival of Algorithmic Patterns in the Creative Arts). If you are curious about […] [Original post on post.lurk.org]

@mistertim "broaden your horizons, or prevent you from ceasing to exist" – either sounds great!

questionably-translated English-language homepage of a small regional Spanish digital services agency, or the narrative indie videogame hit of the summer? who knows.

So, we have a few options: [1] Stay as we are, learn to live with the creakiness / hope it passes [2] Migrate to a server under our control (needs cooperation from existing tech support, plus downtime) [3] Wait and see if it becomes possible to migrate and change domain, reconsider in a month […]

Avui a la feina hem llançat aquesta campana de respostes a la consulta pública sobre la llei europea sobre el núvol i la IA - cal que tanta gent com sigui possible responguin per a demanar que el desenvolupament de la IA respecte als límits planetaris […]

🚨 🚨 Here's a perfect opportunity for you to take meaningful climate action right now if you're in the EU. The European Commission is conducting a public consultation for the EU Cloud and AI Development Act - Please SUBMIT A RESPONSE by 3rd July! 📢 […]

Assemblag.es folks - if things are behaving strangely, or you can't see images, please try clearing your browser cache or hard refreshing the page (ctrl-shift-r on linux, cmd-shift-r on mac, not sure on windows), that seems to fix the problem!

@stml aha, this sounds like the aftereffects of an update from a few weeks ago - could you clear your cache / hard refresh the page and see if that fixes? Sorry!

I think the main chat channel for the live coding conference @incolico is on the 'live code earth' telegram group: https://t.me/+xVw8n42FHk84MTc0 I hear it won't be live streamed but that conference videos will be shared soon after. #iclc2025

One of those days when the gods of gym-playlist shuffle were smiling on me: "(I got my) Dancing Shoes" on the final 0.75km of a 5k run, and then Menergy" while doing bicep curls 👌💪https://youtu.be/odzgSASYQ90?feature=shared

Everything I read about "AI" at the moment feels increasingly like watching people run screaming out of a cinema showing the Lumiere Brothers' "Arrival of a Train", but then going back in and doing the same thing, over and over again.

"La historia que se contó en los medios es que España sufría de un exceso de energía solar. Pero ¿quién se ha preguntado por qué la mitad del parque nuclear español se desconectó en el momento de la inestabilidad de la red?" […]

Quiero hacer un arreglo en plan "Different Trains" de Steve Reich con este video: https://youtube.com/shorts/AnAn-LRJdH0?feature=shared

Si quieres ver realmente como se ha contaminado el ecosistema informacional en los últimos años, hazte una búsqueda en Google para el "Kit de supervivencia 72 h" de la UE. Cientos de historias en la prensa sobre el tema, en las cuales no constan ni la lista ni un enlace a una fuente oficial, y […]

Spain's apagón/ power outage: Possibly due to solar inverters switching off when anomalous frequency detected. Not a wind issue, nor solar per se though. Nor was it a lack of baseload. Note that other systems have higher penetration of renewables than Spain's. Beware the nuclear and fossil lobby […]

Amazing thing about this type of news to me is that it appears that theyre bumbling along with absolutely no idea, fucking things up in unexpected ways, rolling them back, all with very little plan, and this somehow gets presented in some quarters as evidence of how *innovative* and what […]

As much as I like an infrastructural inversion, I couldn't eat a whole one #apagon

[death, loss, cancer] As some have heard, @jonathansterne passed peacefully in his sleep last night following an aggressive resurgence of the cancer he'd battled for ~15 years. Jonathan helped launch countless ideas and careers across sound, media, disability, and technology studies; he had a […]

I often think about @amyjko 's sympathetic deconstruction of CS culture. For me and a lot of others, tech culture was a refuge, where you could create your own world. Part of the reason for homogeneity is a side effect to certain demographics (bullied, gender non-conforming, etc) finding an […]

Pretty stoked about my new job 🙂

"Clash", "fiery dispute" — why doesn't media call it out as the staged humiliation this was? Or showing the whole thing uncommented? This farce "neutrality" turns into a curtsey for fascism.

It seems a little silly to do the welcoming ritual for @discs_noia (it's actually me with a different hat on), but anyway, welcome to assemblag.es, @discs_noia !

Rob y Mercè son de mi gente favorito del mundo, tanto como del fediverso, donde están recién llegados. Aquí va su #presentacion, dales un follow si eres de L'Hospi o Barna, o si te interesa l'arte, cerámica, música rara, espacios autogestionados... #introduction @urpa […]

Who's writing interesting things on the *pedagogy* of creative coding - teaching programming either for the arts, or in the context of studio-based arts programmes? I'm developing quite a lot of trial-and-error reckons on this, and would love to see what's already out there.

DHH going full mask off racist is a good time for a reminder that him and his wee pal wrote all that organisational management 💩thought leadership💩 based on running a company with *a few dozen employees* and is basically the manager of your local supermarket posting on facebook about how you […]

En contra de todo lo que predije, y para disgusto de mi "yo" más joven, me he vuelto "un hombre de mediana edad que va al gimnasio". En parte, es porque me he dado cuenta que la salud es algo que hay que mantener activamente, pero también porque quiero estar preparado para dar unas buenas […]

Vaig tornar a la Rambla avui per primera vegada en gairebé un any, i s'ha tornat tan guiri que fins als cotxes passen pel sentit contrari.

Last week I got slightly distracted watching a bunch of old Fast Show "Jazz Club" sketches, and they still hold up but in a different way: like, these all these characters are people who believe in themselves and their art, doing their best, and it's both glorious AND hilarious.

An old favourite, but still good, dusted off for my Elisava students today: Lucier's "I am sitting in a room" as creative technologist "hello world!" (H/t @prehensile )

He tenido la idea repentina de apuntarme como "agente digitalizador" en el programa del Kit Digital de red.es, y situarme cómo especialista en tecnologías y redes abiertas, para que las PYMEs y autónomos puedan sacar subvenciones para que les ayude en montar una presencia en el fediverso y la […]

i refuse to remember which of "bull market" and "bear market" is the bad one. tell me and i'll do my best to forget. i refuse to play along with the little zoomorphic games of finance dweebs.
