@krusynth "Move carefully and fix things” should be a Hippocratic oath for technologists.

Translate it into Latin if the techbros need it to sound cooler.

"The project is collaboration between JamFactory, Dr Guy Keulemans (UniSA) and Dr Trent Jansen (UNSW) and the first stage of the process will be subsidised by funding provided by the Australian Research Council." #repair #culture #Value

"His father taught him how to drill a hole into a porcelain object — it has to be done at an angle of 85 degrees so that when the staple is put in, it won’t slide out." https://t.co/KzsJWT7Nct @guykeulemans #ceramics

@MendItAussie Thanks for sharing this! He has a good technique. Bit over cooked, especially the zipper one, but fun.

Sounds like some action is finally happening against the flood of greenwashing in Australia.

1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.

@Rand0mB1tsUK It's more complicated and insidious than just a consequence of 'postwar shortages'. Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete #RAAC was popular because of material cost, but the deeper problem is the lifespan of reinforced concrete itself https://t.co/EEzMwnE76i

"Companies who push for solutions that put solidity, durability and repairability in danger to shave costs are not committed to sustainable design" @BlooPlanet @guykeulemans @designwantedmag @designthinkbot @designcouncil @design_inst_au #design #designer

This is good thread to understand how corps use arcane shenanigans to avoid action on climate and sustainability

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

A short thread for you on some truly nasty shenanigans happening at #COP27 #Article6

Basically: fossil players are pushing to set the rulebook so offset deals can be secret, without any justification. The consequences could be very, very bad

[unbroken.solutions @unbrokensoluti1]

Over 5 billion smartphones to become waste?? Seriously??
Each one contains over 30 elements mined and processed creating tonnes of toxic waste to make it, and we throw them?

Repair, Reuse, sell on ...

@bobspa2sta @broniabird1 @Digby2016 @GeorgeMonbiot Ah… nightsoil. The perplexingly icky solution to sustainability.

[Guy Keulemans @guykeulemans]

This problem of supposedly biodegradable bioplastics was a motivation behind my designwork PLA Chain for Sampling the Future at the National Gallery of Victoria https://t.co/xD7c7Ar14V

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

It's not just that many "compostable" bioplastics don't compost as they should. Most are likely to be more environmentally damaging than the fossil fuel plastics they replace.🧵

@camerontw @jbriselli Thats seems pretty good content to discuss up front with a new class

Not even a maybe - the extratavism is a straight line continuation of colonial exploitation

[Matt Henry @DrJustFutures]

Maybe it's not climate literacy we need; maybe it's colonialism literacy.
