In line with the recent threads here on Appropriate Technology, etc. Brought back to my attention by the Advent of Computing podcast.

In light of the topic (and because of personal gripes), i think a link to the actual podcast, RSS feed and all, would be more appropiate than big techs radio-show version of it.

Though frankly, that page needs some love, Sean!

But thanks for the submission, and thanks, Sean, for a great podcast!

Loving the homage to the Whole Earth Catalog. The pivot from "infinite growth and optimization" to "computing within limits" and permacomputing is becoming less of a fringe philosophy and more of a practical necessity.

As hardware recycling and e-waste become bigger challenges, projects like the Damaged Earth Catalog remind us that modern software bloat is a choice, not an inevitability. We need more focus on resilient, low-power, and maintainable tech stacks.
