The author pontificates on "suffering-oriented programming" like it's a groundbreaking #revelation 🤯, but in reality, it's just another buzzword salad tossed with a side of #pretentiousness. 🙄🚀 If you made it past the 57 mentions of "Blog About Archives Contact," congratulations, you win a free tour of redundancy-ville! 🎉📚

In Europe, in the context of Internet Archive Europe @stichtinginternetarchive (internetarchive.eu/brewster-ka ), @brewsterkahle underlined the concept of "Public/Collective Intelligence" noting "the importance of freely accessible knowledge across cultural and linguistic barriers"

As #redundancy of #DigitalPreservation infrastructure is becoming more and more vital, how the @stichtinginternetarchive will be able to potentially support part of this redundancy may matter even more

🚀 Wow, Internet! Another thrilling deep dive into the captivating world of redundant #security protocols! 🙄 Turns out, we need a thousand words to explain why #CSRF and #CORS are still around, but don't worry—it's just as riveting as watching paint dry. 🎨 Spoiler: web frameworks already have it covered, but hey, let's invent problems! 🤦‍♂️

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 54/n

This article is hard to stomach for all those of us currently looking for work, and not finding anything suitable, or anything at all. But it’s good that at least rising #unemployment is recognised now.

My own #redundancy last year and subsequent struggles have made me so alert to all these wider structural changes; I am really scared that this may be just the beginning. Terrible combination of AI and money going only to the rich

Nice Labour government.

My own redundancy this summer has made me kind of super alert to all redundancy announcements, I feel each one really strongly - I really feel for these 10,000 people.

It is happening in so many sectors, but a Labour government doing this just just 😡

In 2006, I was made redundant due to unending erosion of the UK university sector.

People's response to this was odd. First, most colleagues avoid you like the plague. They don't want to be associated with someone who's been targeted for eviction. Or they don't know what to say. Or both.

Two decades later, whenever I meet someone from that place, they seem to believe - hope even - that I ended up in a cardboard box. When they realise I didn't, they lose interest.

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 44/n but also: #Redundancy has made me think deeply (of course!) about the role of money in personal decision making. I may be wrong but it feels like this is something we don’t talk about much, and yet it is is so central to everything! I DO want to talk about it, even if I have nothing insightful to say actually. Just a few observations.

1. Money was at core of my decisions around redundancy. I have two teenage children and a high mortgage.

#FollowTheMoney 🧵42/n Firstly, I am conscious of my own #redundancy being very much part of the wider hollowing out, draining out of both public services and professional, creative industries everywhere (see many posts ⬆️). I am really scared about this - it’s strange how this is happening but not really talked about; no #unemployment crisis narrative at all, as of course most people, like me, end up not being “unemployed” but doing smaller, precarious jobs; very few of us on benefiso no stats

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 41/n Ok so the reason for the long pause in this 🧵 was being made rdundant in July, by my lovely (not) employer of 13 years, Goldsmiths University. You can read all about it in this long #AcademicVenting 🧵, tracing the whole sorry saga from first rumblings in Nov ‘23 to the bitter end. But of course, #redundancy is all about money, and I think about money all the time now (I have to), so really should write it about it all here a bit

Mastodon.greenPauline von Hellermann (@pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green)Half thinking of starting an #AcademicVenting hashtag here, about the dire, dire state of UK (global?) higher education. Sharing nuggets of senior management decisions, neoliberal language, and overall slow collapse. Won’t work of course because most of us can’t risk honesty, but honestly: the everyday reality of what is happening deserves recording in all its depressing and damning detail. #Universities #AcademicChatter #neoliberalism

@curmudgeonaf ❤️ yes! I hadn’t applied for anyrhing in 13 years and coming from academia now having to look beyond (NO jobs within) makes it all the more bewildering, but i fully agree: the process as a whole is insane now! All the AI, and all the extra work and stress this creates for applicants , just trying to ensure your application will be seen by a human…. it is all so hard (and so existential, in so many ways). Wishing you all the best for your search 🍀 #Redundancy

I haven’t been able to post here much recently and just wanted to briefly explain.

My #redundancy is quite central - i am having to prioritise work and job hunt all the time, and it’s knocked my confidence, of course.

But I am also. just completely floored by the state of everything. It feels like this last year we have slipped into dystopia more quickly and further than I thought was possible before: genocide, war normalised, climate collapse in full swing, 1/2
