remember not to trust your phone.

the contents which you love is merely hostage to desperation of middle management and the cruelty of people who steal from as many paychecks as possible

also more enduring, in most ways that matter

Comment innover dans un esprit Low-Tech

Les choix technologiques que nous faisons ne sont pas neutres : ils ont des impacts majeurs sur le monde dans lequel nous vivons. La démarche Low-Tech consiste à privilégier le juste niveau technologique dans un esprit de soutenabilité socio-écologique. Pourquoi s’interroger sur le niveau technologique de ce que nous créons? Notre rapport à la technologie Tout d’abord, le rapport à la…

"Small" Riley Post-Mikoshi Info Dump because I'm bored lmao:

Follows DFTR -> Temperance, so spoilers at your own risk

I've been going on and on in servers about how I think V should be extraordinarily fucked up after going toe to toe with Smasher, even if it's an close match, since Smasher just seems like the kinda dude who'd tear you to ribbons even if you have the upper hand. Riley ends up needing to replace two limbs, dislocated her organic shoulder, breaks her organic leg, loses her left optic, ruptures her left eardrum, you get the drift. I beat her up to hell and back, basically.

Post-Mikoshi, Vik determines that Riley's cybernetic leg is just beyond saving. It's barely functioning because the wirework and neural connection were damaged in the fight and Vik just doesn't have the materials on hand to fix homebrew cyberware, so they ditch it (despite a lot of protesting from Johnny). He gives him a RealSkinn prosthetic that's standard in NC, the one with the hydraulic kneecap that all the NPCs have.

Johnny gets Riley's left optic replaced, same neon-green color as before. It leaves him with two huge scars over and under the socket at a diagonal (direction-wise, think around 11:27 on an analog clock, the scar curves slightly downwards). The cut requires upwards of 75 stitches between the forehead and the cheekbone-- it fades better around the eyebrow but still looks pretty gnarly the further down you go.

Riley's final blow to Smasher was a point-blank firing of her projectile launcher that essentially blows the entire mechanism (as well as her left hand) up, so Vik digs out the shards of what used to be the launcher and seals up her now-empty forearm with a black plate. He recovers her left hand with matte-black subdermal armor and leaves it at that (covering up the tattoo ink she has there, RIP). The yellow areas in the picture below are all black plating while everything else is RealSkinn.

From a distance it sort of looks like she's wearing a glove and wristguard, probably not very unusual in the grand scheme of things. Johnny wears a lot of long sleeves post Mikoshi to keep the thing under wraps regardless.

When Arasaka eventually comes a-knocking on H10, Johnny barely has time to grab the Malorian, her Samurai jacket, a few personal items, and an old guitar he'd bought before corporate guards swarm her place. Everything else of Riley's-- her bike, her weapons, her personal belongings, all of it-- are seized by Arasaka and eventually wind up as evidence in the NCPD.

After Johnny fucks off to squat in Pacifica, he starts changing Riley's physical appearance up-- partly out of fear of Arasaka hunting him down, partly out of guilt and an unwillingness to see her face whenever he looks in a mirror, and partly out of depressive negligence. He grows her roots out, and when her hair's long enough, he dyes it black with CHOOH-station hair dye just to feel a bit more like himself. He wears more makeup, even though he's shit at remembering how to do it. He gives her a few more piercings (nose ring, eyebrow piercing, he tried to give her a tongue piercing but it got infected so he was forced to let it close up). He pretty much ditches her entire wardrobe for long sleeve tshirts and flannels and sneakers because it's all he can afford and all he can afford to bring himself to wear.

He starts going by "Jo" (this is something I'm still workshopping tbh-- I don't think he'd refer to himself as a derivative of "Robert", and calling himself "Riley" seems in incredibly poor taste and a disrespect to V's memory. Calling himself a simple "Jo" a la a John Doe seems like the easiest solution) and warms up slowly to Steve, who won't stop pestering him about music because Johnny's depression-playing's easy to hear from down the hall. He also strikes up a weird semi-friendship with Steve's mother, Gillian, who asks Johnny to watch Steve sometimes when she goes to work and doesn't want him alone with his dad.

Between the alias, the hair change, the new piercings, the radical change in wardrobe, losing Riley's cybernetic leg (arguably her most identifiable physical feature) covering her cloud tattoo (arguably her second most identifiable physical feature), and already being absent from most NCPD databases, pretty much no one's able to tell that the woman in West Wind Estates used to be the most famous merc in the city for four months. Johnny's able to fly pretty under the radar for the most point moving forward, save for watching his back regarding Arasaka, and most people who knew V have a somewhat hard time realizing it is V under all the new changes. The only people who don't struggle are Rogue-- she's too astute to be fooled by something like that, imho-- and Mama Welles-- she's seen Riley change her facial apperance several times under her roof, I have no doubt she'd be able to pick her out beneath all that hair dye too.

Johnny sticks it out for three months before he decides he's had enough and makes the plans to break for a fresh start. He takes the bullet pendant and his dog tags and puts them in Jackie's niche, since he views Jackie's sacrifice as the reason he and Riley got to meet in the first place. Even when shenanigans happen and Johnny eventually stays in NC, though, he doesn't retrieve the necklace. Not until fix-it gets firmly underway.

call the tech series 'make urself some internet'?

Nous avons juste hérité d'un cerveau un peu plus gros qui a fait que nous avons pu manipuler les choses de manières un peu plus impressionante. Mais c'est tout. L'intelligence n'a rien fait de plus que de faire grossir l'infrastructure -et l'impact sur terre de notre espèce.

Romanceofbeaverb00dugmiala raw 0081 - Barrage de castors — Wikipédia (wikipedia.org)

Nous sommes des animaux et avons un peu le même comportement. Enfaite, l'invasion et la diffusion des castords parceque de plus en plus de truite dans les divers étang auraient conduit à la mort des saumons aussi ou bine d'une déruglation de leur diffusion dans le monde qui aurait pu aussi propager la mort d'une infinité d'espace. Les castords ont vraisemblamement modifié les cycles, les diffusions.

Le problème est que l'humain est passé dans d'autre scale il ne s'agit plus de l'érradication du saumons mais bien de 1/2 des insectes etc.

Ce qui me dérange c'est que l'invasif finit touojours j'imagine par se mordre la queux. Une lienne qui vient par bouffer tout les lapins du territoires finirait bien plus grosse mais sans nourriture. Ce que je veux dire c'est que la justice et la répartition des impacts des conséquences se fait naturellement. C'est à dire finir par mourrir de famine. µ

Est-ce donc un problème morale dans lesquel nous sommes plongé? En effet, qui pourrait soutenir aujourd'hui que la régulation de l'humanité se fera par la famine? Personne, cela parait vraisemblement horrible. Nous voulons anticiper, éviter le carnage et nous heurtons de ce fait à de nouveaux problèmes ou bien plutôt de résistance qui nous pousse à 1)continuer à éraser 2)procréer des solutions techniques.

Nous avons encore des solutions mais pour combien de temps?

THE JOYS OF LOW TECH

JYProvocative Question #17 – Low Tech Let’s think about our favorite low-tech innovations. Is it sliced bread? The pencil? You can pick an underappreciated low-tech invention that changed the world or a frivolous patent – anything goes! I’m not sure how I define lowtech. Non-electronic devices are definitely lower tech than those that are “smart,” though a lot of the old stupid devices worked…
