I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

a computer generated image of a futuristic city with the words virtual for vision written below it Alt: a gif of the citadel from mass effect 1 the citadel is an ancient deep space station it has five arms centered on the presidium here one is picture with green parks, small spaceships flying over head, and transit tunnels

i can’t believe the citadel still fills me with wonder after all these years

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

"[...] you cannot take any technology and β€œmake it good”. Is a torturing device β€œgood” if the plans on how to build it are creative commons? Do we need to answer the existence of the digital torment nexus by building an open source torment nexus?"
