Humaniora er studiet av det menneskeskapte. Data og teknologi er også noe menneskeskapt. "Humaniora gir oss innsikten i hvorfor og hvordan teknologi bør brukes. Uten denne balansen risikerer vi at kulturarven reduseres til datasett, løsrevet fra de menneskelige erfaringene som gir den verdi."

"Journalists will need to pair technical verification with contextual analysis to uncover what visual material reveals, what it excludes, and how it shapes competing narratives," @stalebg.bsky.social writes.

“Since 2003 the percentage of people living under autocratic regimes has gone from 50% to 72%. Democracy is losing and I don’t think people realise it. So when we see the world’s most famous liberal democracy becoming authoritarian, we have to sound the alarm,” says @chrischirp.bsky.social.

"Great men and gods alike beseeched Demeter, goddess of plenty, to give a little. Humankind would perish and gods with it.

Fantastic news the Norwegian government justndecided no deep sea mining!

“They’ve charmed and courted their way through our islands and people. Industry representatives have embedded themselves and the vast resources of their companies into our communities.” — Louisa Castledine on how Cook Islanders are being softened up for deep sea mining.

Norway is opening the door for deep sea mining companies to carve up an area of the Arctic the size of the UK. This will cause irreversible damage to one of the world's most ancient ecosystems. Please join me in calling on the Norwegian govt to stop this: action.greenpeace.org.uk/protect-the-...

The biological & physical impacts from deep sea mining will be irreversible & catastrophic for all Life on Earth

very interesting to find out that 52% of all battery production does not require nickel and cobalt anymore, including for EVs. Deep-sea mining needs to be completely taken off the table now pls

Climate is changing and one feels powerless but hor about using history and science indigenous knowledge to find out how to prepare for the sudden floods fires and orher disasters? Reading

The Norwegian narrative «we are the best among the worst capitalists»does not hold anymore by the time Norway is proceeding with plans for #deepseamining, while EU is still against it. All research points out that there will be devasting consequences ejfoundation.org/news-media/e...
