n light of the latest dire climate report, i've decided to add a module to my class this quarter on the internet & the climate crisis

any good readings out there on internet infrastructures & the climate? i'm woefully under-read, but hoping to change that!

The internet can be a wonderful place. A place that unites people, to exchange ideas. It allows people to cooperate and unleash their creativity. This brought forth great source of information and knowledge, open science and many beautiful free software projects to enrich our lives with. The internet has the potential to bring our minds together. To set us free.

But increasingly commercial interests are thwarting the vision of what the internet can bring to humanity. The gems of free knowledge and open source software are harder to find these day. Drowned out by marketing, advertising and SEO they do not appear in the top of our search results anymore.

Delightful lists are an effort to help bring change to this trend. To make freedom more discoverable again. This top-level project will allow navigation to all high-quality curated delightful lists created and maintained all over the web.

some characteristics:

• green energy
• worker owned
• organic growth
• opensource
• NO hyperscale

When anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about?
