Here's a collection of interesting stuff I've found.

Politics and the Tech Industry

The Chips of Our Lives

[The engineers] gripe about roving squads of security guards who randomly enter unoccupied offices to check for papers left on desktops. Too many "finds" get IBM engineers in trouble.

Molleindustria

They have some pretty cool games about leftist politics. Here a few things I want to call out in particular:

Green New Deal Simulator: Try and hit zero emissions before the Authoriatarian takeover
The New York Times Simulator: A game about media bias and spin. Try not to get fired!
The Big Data Manifesto: Not a game, but a good read.

Our Commrade the Electron

A talk about the inevatable march of technology and how it doesn't always serve humans. The electrons don't care.

What Happens When

Ever wondered what happens when you type a URL into your browser? Here's an exhaustive list.

Assorted Things

Stuff that I couldn't think of a better category for

Eldritch Data Vault

There's some interesting stuff on here. Like a guide on how to make black powder and some Magic the Gathering deck lists.

TIME CUBE

Apparently one day is actually four days at once?

I felt like I had to include this because the Wikipedia article for Time Cube was one of my first exposures to the indie web. And when I found a link to this site in the wild, it was like I met a celebrity.
