@STS_News Also how businesses choose and use it. Managers (well paid) believe sales hype and promises (at their word) without understanding the tech, or usability and suitability for work task (critique), then blame (low paid) admins for not being able to use it when failings apparent

You see the same thing with writing on technology in these fields. One driver is that people get stuck at the level of discourse - taking people at their word, as Danya puts it - rather than doing materialist critique, which requires looking into how things actually work . . .

@timbocop It’s in my PhD thesis - only required as ethesis but I deliberately produced print version, because similarities of core human aspects of both was discussed in it, as well as shades of difference. And software claims for being good are mostly sales hype, eg >>> X

@PlashingVole Ah yes, that suvs negate shift to e-cars was in guardian last year. Buying a bigger car seems to be used to solve the problem of not being able to position a smaller car on the road, intimidation being a part of SUV culture that goes with prevailing attitude of English politics

@PlashingVole But who's Respon Sibly? And what did he do to deserve being drunk? Vampires please don't reply.

What a joyless message to print on a cup of tea.
(And drinking responsibly would require me to have remembered my mug rather than use a non-disposable piece of junk).

Horace Silver performing “Song For My Father” with Bill Hardman on trumpet, Bennie Maupin on saxophone, John Williams on bass and Bill Cobham on drums live at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 1968.

Spent the last decade thinking about technology bubbles and wondered, "My God, can it get dumber than this?" Web 3.0/Metaverse proved definitely yes. ChatGPT has felt like powerful deja vu. And now, this. A broken record, skipping.

@Dr_D_Robertson He can claim he’s acted in good faith - and point an accusing finger at everyone else. Voila. Blameless, the original transgression superseded.

Boris Johnson is a most extraordinary politician.

NEW: Boris Johnson says he is sending his unredacted WhatsApps (from May 2021 onwards) to the Covid inquiry direct. He says he wants to pass the WhatsApps from his old phone to them too

Visited it on a primary school trip c.1965-66. Mustn't have been fully open by then.

14 May 1967. Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, officially known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King was opened. It’s known locally as “Paddy’s Wigwam”. The cathedral’s architect, Frederick Gibberd, was the winner of a worldwide competition to design the building.

@claudiakincaid Microsoft will be delighted. OneDrive and SharePoint are our golden future.

@e_salvaggio AI art is product being used for the ends manufacturers want it to be, to make it profitable for them - the expected. Net Art was out of a culture of discovering unintended uses for technology that didn’t always work - the unexpected and unpredictable

@PGrodinsky I use Thunderbird. It doesn’t think it knows better what I want to say than I do. Outlook is the complete opposite

@PlashingVole The Irish Mail. One company going for Pembroke the other for Holyhead - it was prestige and money, and was highly contested.
English
Your occasional reminder that Welsh rail networks were designed to move three things, none of them Welsh: coal (out of the valleys); tourists (to the beaches); troops (to Holyhead to keep the Irish down). Nothing else mattered.
Build Up Wales 🏴@BuildUpWales
Rail networks in Wales are poor because of Westminster. Rail infrastructure is NOT devolved in Wales and so Westminster leaves us with a half a rail service that is England centric, London centric and Westminster centric.

@prosocialplace @FinsParkFriends @ToughMudder People tend to think that ground recovers quickly, but soil structure takes years, decades to build up. Turn it into a slurry and churn it, and it goes in a day. Replanting (or 'rewilding') does not restore structure.

Thank you to everyone who has given our RT to our new Twitter @comicartfest account here - even though this one has the same name! We were victim to a hostile takeover. We’d built a following of over 12K of followers here since 2012 and we’d like to get them back

@ancientnmodern Inspiral staircases come with carpets that make noises, so they depend on your taste in music. (Cryptic tweet of the week)

@timmaughan It does openly take the 'social' off the front of social media and replace it with 'for a price under my control' after. But then this has been a slippery slope, and I no longer come here often. Or Facebook. Why bother.
