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. After all, "the electrons don't care."
Technology
- 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.
- Rotating Sandwiches
- That's it.
- 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.
