- They speak to a journalist in Gaza who is trapped there along with his family.You can hear the airstrikes happening during the interview.

Life is busy as of late, so this roundup is a little spartan. But still, read on for some interesting things at the intersection of ecosocialism and ICT. As always I’m sharing articles and thoughts on the problems of digital capitalism, the positive actions of digital ecosocialism, and a look at the systemic side of things and how we can transition from (digital) capitalism to (digital) ecosocialism.

Posted my latest noodlings on reclaiming the stacks i.e. expropriating information and communications technology from Big Tech and returning it to the people.
Welcome to the latest monthly roundup of my explorations at the intersection of ecosocialism and ICT. I look at the problems of digital capitalism and positive actions that embody digital ecosocialism, along with a look at the systemic side of things and how we can transition from (digital) capitalism to (digital) ecosocialism.

Welcome!
This is the second in a series of regular monthly updates exploring the intersection of ecosocialism and ICT. In it I look at the problems of digital capitalism and positive actions we can support now that embody digital ecosocialism. I also explore readings and thoughts on the theoretical side of things, particularly with an eye on transition: how we get from (digital) capitalism to (digital) ecosocialism.

Thanks to Six Feet Under for reminding me what a lovely song Our Way To Fall is.
Although I am surprisingly uninterested in artificial intelligence as a topic these days, maybe it’s just the general discourse around it. Ways of Being sounds like it’ll be more up my street – comes across much more in line with [[evolutionary and adaptive systems]] vibe – i.e. importance of embodiment, environment, relationality.
Interested to learn more what Bridle means when he refers to an ecology of technology.

I invested some money into the new solar park that Ripple Energy is starting – Derril Water Solar Park. It’ll be an energy coop. Excited about it.
We can’t afford rooftop solar so really nice to be part of a shared solar project. I put a bit of money into Bristol Energy Cooperative before but I don’t actually live there so don’t get the benefit of the energy produced, unlike this Ripple one.
Hope Ripple they do another wind farm project soon, would like to get in on that.

All solicitors’ letters should involve cod superhero/supervillain nomenclature, it really spices them up.
