If this is indeed the direction they are going in then: good news - scale is the not the direction which means it ain't a surprise that plans for new data-centers are being shelved; bad news - the employment implications, especially, for white-collar #jobs need to be taken seriously. 🤷🏾♂️

This is the reason the assholes running #Iran have been getting away with torturing 10s of millions of #women over decades - the rest of the world is too dependent on an open Hormuz for fundamental things such as #fertilizer #nitrogen #sulfur which underpin #agriculture ( #employment for 100s of millions) and #food (for billions). Why the entire #middleeast continues to oppress women!

New economic data suggests the US is transitioning to a phase of measurable gains from the technologyErik Brynjolfsson (Financial Times)
Does anyone feel like the #billionaires are actually systematically culling the global population?
#Vaccine denial
#climatechange ( #drought #flood #heatwave #hurricane )
Cutting #humanitarian #aid
#armed thugs targeting people
#militarized borders that prevent people from moving to safer places
#AI #datacenters (destroying #employment)
#space (million satellites?)
It all seems to be accelerating. Are we really at the beginning of global genocide?
Yet another reason to open up mass #migration - #work #jobs #employment #services #labor
And don't say #ai #genai will take care of it. That is a laughable idea for now.

That was kinda fast - going from astronomical growth and solving ALL of the world's problems to "we need help from taxpayers"?
We should pay them so they can make the kids dumb #education ? Propagate mis-/dis-information which destroys #democracy, #trust, #relationships, etc.? Make millions #unemployed? Ravage #environment #climate #land #water #air?

One of the major reasons why the resistance to address #climatechange continues is because making #people choose between #livelihood and #survival is just wrong, especially, when #billionaires keep piling up #cash while burning down the #world.

The complex mess of #climatechange and #agriculture - e.g. #women in #rural and #poor parts of the world #working in #rice or #paddy #farming which is a source of #methane (a #GHG), also the sole source of #income and #employment. Plus the #impact on #worker #health
Women perform a bulk of the labour-intensive work of rice cultivation. Extreme weather increase their efforts and vulnerability.Mahima Jain (Scroll.in)

British Standards Institution study across seven countries found quarter of bosses believe entry-level tasks could be automated to reduce costsJoanna Partridge (The Guardian)
Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I'm one of the unlucky ones.
Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn't seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience, specialising in PHP, Ruby, JS, HTML, CSS, devops, and about 50% of CMSes you've ever heard of (and probably some you haven't)... with a flair for security, accessibility, standards-compliance, performance, and DexEx?
CV at: danq.me/cv/index.html
#note #work #automattic #job #memorable #employment

If somebody needs a person with almost 13 years in IT, knowing PHP (7 y.), JavaScript/jQuery (5+ y.), HTML5+CSS3, SQL, slight knowledge of Python and React and experience in fields like 2D design or sound production, please tell me. I've worked with SCADAs, CMMSs, corporate travel and congress management, e-commerce, food and industrial sectors. Business proficiency in English; can speak Catalan.
I can learn quick. Either on-site work in Valencia, Spain, or remote from anywhere in the EU. Inclusive company is a must. Can provide CV in English.
