The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worstโ€”a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

Again, Iโ€™ll repeat.

Archaeology shows us that people have always, always modified, altered and changed things - buildings, monuments, places - for their own present needs. Prehistoric Barrows built on, medieval castles changed, late medieval sculpture slighted during Refomation

Itโ€™s what we do!!!

The way Ireland experiences Black Friday without Thanksgiving always reminds me of Narnia enduring winter without Christmas.

You don't get to say you hate speaking into a microphone. There's folks who hate not being able to hear what's going on.

Have been sent the clip of Bernese Mountain Dog owners sending off Michael D twice by heart-melted people outside of Ireland.

What a country.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I would much rather be watching your stream than this training session on AI in research.

I found this out yesterday and had approximately this reaction.

Sat down at my desk in the office and counting my blessings, when I like the physical office I work in (stairs to the top floor in a historical building not withstanding), the people I work with, and the work I do.

I'm so disappointed with Simon Harris.

No love, an immigrant

It takes a strange sort of worldview to watch the Irish public elect a socialist, with the largest mandate in the history of the state, and conclude that what they really want is a tougher line on immigration.

Bad enough the Gardaรญ gave free run to the far right for years.

Bad enough arson against immigrant centres became standard practice for racists.

Bad enough we've already had race riots.

The Taoiseach & Tรกinaiste poured petrol on all the above during the week, & we shouldn't be shy in saying it.

Which of the high paid immigrants in manufacturing do you want to get rid of boys? Which of the doctors and nurses and care workers? Who will clean your hospitals?

Remember voting for Jim Gavin doesn't spoil your vote, but if he gets 12.5% or more then Fianna Fรกil gets โ‚ฌ250,000 of your taxes given to them as election expenses.

Don't protest vote by giving the government party your money. #speirgorm

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased.

Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.
