If you wish to send a message to the friends and family of Vicky Teinaki, @vickytnz.bsky.social,
about how much she meant to us and the community she was so much a part of, please add them here.

I now have access to a compilation by a close friend of hers (not on BlueSky) and will add ours.
Devastated by the sudden loss and passing of our dear friend Vicky. She was a kind, thoughtful and all round amazing person. So much integrity and sincerity

Thinking of you Vicky ❤️

If you’ve ever heard someone say “If we automated X, it would free people up to do Y”, and thought 🤔, I just wrote a thing about that: www.timpaul.co.uk/posts/automation-and-the-jevons-paradox/
