Two #degrowth related events this week:

🕒 Thursday, April 24, 2025 12:00 PM - 13:00 PM at AUD3 in #copenhagen or online

CCIT Seminar with @neil_selwyn on Digital Degrowth

"In 2020, Wired magazine declared degrowth to be "the worst idea on the planet". Three years later, Marc Andreessen called out degrowth as a "bad idea" and an "enemy" to technological progress. Taking inspiration from Andrew Ahern’s observation that "degrowth pisses off all the right people", Neil Selwyn considers what degrowth and post-growth thinking might have to offer those looking to radically break away from the destructive modes of digital excess that have come to define the first few decades of the twenty-first century. In short, this talk considers a deceptively simple question - how might degrowth thinking support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies?"

“A #ScienceNerd” who wanted to collect all the elements of the #PeriodicTable could face jail time after ordering #radioactive material over the #internet.

But Emmanuel Lidden, 24, will have to wait to learn his sentence after breaching nuclear non-proliferation laws by shipping samples of plutonium to his parents’ suburban Sydney apartment.

Lidden pleaded guilty to offences under #Australia’s #NuclearNonProliferation Act ☢️ that carry a possible 10-year jail sentence, and is due to receive his sentence from the judge Leonie Flannery on 11 April.

The importation sparked a major hazmat alert, with Australian Border Force (#ABF) officials, #firefighters, #police and #paramedics all attending the scene in August 2023.

Far from there being any intention of building something nefarious like a nuclear weapon, Lidden’s lawyer John Sutton described his client as an “innocent collector” and “science nerd” who had been left flipping burgers after being sacked from his job because of the investigation.”

Smart but not well read.

Can anyone think where #Pu might be found on the ground in #Aus?

The Guardian · Sydney ‘science nerd’ may face jail for importing plutonium in bid to collect all elements of periodic tableBy Guardian staff reporter

Today I'm joining the Institute for Degrowth Studies for an introductory event on #obsolescence of digital devices. I'll be talking about the energy use of the internet, old devices and e-waste. I'll share how we investigated this topic through making a website that was designed to support 10 years or older devices, by drastically reducing the energy use of that website. As part of the event, there will be a workshop with an ad hoc museum of obsolete smartphones and tables. You can use them to put that and other websites and apps to the test. You can also bring your own and with the help of @jessika_richter and #Repair Café Malmö learn to judge the repairability of your old devices as well! If you are in Malmö drop by at #ABF, we start 15.30

Mörder von Hrant #Dink freigelassen

Die Freilassung von Ogün #Samast (letztes Foto) aus dem #Bolu-#Gefängnis wegen "guter Führung" hat in der #Türkei für große Aufregung gesorgt. Der #Ultranationalist Samast hatte Hrant Dink am 19. Januar 2007 am helllichten Tag in #Istanbul erschossen. Dink war ein fortschrittlicher armenischer #Intellektueller und #Chefredakteur der #Wochenzeitung #Agos.

Auch die alevitische Bewegung in der Türkei reagierte wütend auf die Freilassung von Samast, der bereits bei seiner Festnahme von türkischen #Polizisten, die ein Foto mit ihm machen wollten, heldenhaft behandelt wurde (drittes Foto). Der alevitische Dachverband Föderation der #Aleviten und #Bektaschis (ABF) erklärte in einer Stellungnahme, es liege in der Natur des #Erdoğan-Regimes und seiner #AKP-Partei, Mörder freizulassen. Damit bezieht sich die #ABF auf die kürzliche Freilassung von muslimischen #Fundamentalisten, die 1993 in der türkischen Stadt #Sivas ein #Massaker an Teilnehmern eines alevitischen Festes verübten.
