there’s no accessible university classroom if everyone isn’t masked

mel_hogan,

@inquiline i always think about consent in the context of being forced to meet in person without protections:

“Classrooms, unlike some other spaces on our campus and in private life, are not fully elective spaces: enrolled students and instructors cannot opt out if their comfort level with safety precautions is at odds with the status quo”

“This bitcoin miner is set to buy four Canadian power plants

The move allows Hut 8 to mine more BTC or power high-performance computing applications, such as those related to artificial intelligence”

I need to seriously reduce my time looking at screens, my eyes are virtually hurting.

What are your favourite podcasts? A bit nerdy, informative, deep dives, tech, ecology, queerfeminist discussions, Asia-Pacific.

I'm thinking in the lines of Cultures of Energy, @mel_hogan Data Fix, @parismarx Tech won't Safe Us, @emergencemagazine, Wohlstand für Alle, You're Wrong About, ... but also some format I do not have on my radar. @sts @academicchatter
