Today on Volts: I talk with the estimable Cory Doctorow about enshittification (the inevitable rot & customer exploitation of tech platforms) and how it might manifest in clean-energy tech, which will soon be running our vehicles and homes. Much to worry about!

Dit is toch werkelijk schokkend.

Hoe noem je een Staat waar de politie de gegevens van miljoenen Nederlanders bewaart, tegen de wet in, en een vonnis van de rechter doodleuk negeert?

Voor @groene.nl maakte ik de klimaatbalans op. Ik mag niet te veel angst zaaien, maar vrolijk word je er niet van www.groene.nl/artikel/de-b...
Zelfs wie oog houdt voor de lichtpuntjes, ziet dat het beroerde weken waren voor het klimaat
De totale wereldwijde CO2-uitstoot was vorig jaar hoger dan ooit, Shell boekte een overwinning in de rechtszaal en Trump won de Amerikaanse verkiezingen. Het is een greep uit het slechte klimaatnieuws...

Wel heel fijn dat je niet alleen iemand kan blokkeren maar ook haatreacties helemaal onzichtbaar kan maken zodat anderen deze ook niet meer kunnen lezen.

Geen olievlek van escalatie meer.

In a new comparative study of climate institutions, we employ our conceptual framework to identify gaps in German climate governance. We also examine if institutions from other cases may be useful in the German context, taking institutional and political differences into account. (1/n)
