Interesting Things on the Internet: December 14th 2015
- Social Media Snakepits & Solidarity Versus Corporate Shafting, UK 2015.
- Ada’s List: meet the female tech workers reclaiming the sector. More of this sort of thing please.
- When is it time to start a revolution? My answer, I'm not sure, but something needs to change.
- ‘Superficial’ relationships: near-strangers, weak ties, and older men. Kevin Harris on good form around community and neighbourliness.
- On winning the Turner Prize. It's lovely to see the hard work the Granby community have put in over years being recognised (albeit in a roundabout manner). So I now live ~5 minutes walk from a Turner prize-winning artwork. And I've also exhibited alongside the Turner prize-winning artists - Assemble were part of the Build Your Own exhibition that we (as DoES Liverpool) made Desktop Prosthetics for.
- Turner Prize – truth behind the Toxteth terraces. Following on from the previous link, this does a decent job of showing the backstory to the Granby 4 Streets project.
- So you want to reform democracy. Find the right ways to build civic tech.
- Software has diseconomies of scale - not economies of scale. At least until it's written, then it scales massively.
