| Loss of an ideal | The word ‘burnout’ has taken on so many meanings, become a kind of casual and generic refrain that seems to apply to everyone all the time, a condition of malaise and overwork that afflicts whole generations. But when first conceived the term had a more specific connotation. | |

| A Brief Introduction to the Basics of Game Theory | I [Matthew O. Jackson] provide a (very) brief introduction to game theory.

| ANTI-SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE CATALOGUE (ASC) | The Anti-Subscription Catalogue unites 112 non-subscription, free, open-source, and one-time fee software in 16 categories — which can provide relief from monopolized and financialized platforms. Why? The subscription cost can rise at any time, implement region-based barriers, and use deceptive design interactions to entice with tiered features. Say no to creative rent! Just A-S-C instead. | |
| Building a private & personal cloud computer | An irony of the personal computing revolution is that, while everyone has a supercomputer in their pocket, a majority of our actual computing has moved to machines in the cloud that we neither own or control. | |
| The 'Accessibility' link is a Lie: My Adventures in Weaponizing Corporate Virtue Signaling | In the corporate world, there's a special kind of lie. It's not a loud, brazen falsehood; it's a quiet, self-congratulatory link. It lives in the footer of websites, usually next to the copyright notice, a tidy little link that says “Accessibility Statement.” This statement is a company's way of patting itself on the back, assuring the world that it cares deeply about inclusion. It is, in my experience, often the most cynical lie on the entire internet. | |
