Part 5: Controll

Somehow i like many others have ended up losing controll instead of gaining it with these pocket computers. I can take that controll back and befit from truly good devices. It takes habits and good software.

I am getting a fairphone3 or 4 as soon as i have money for it. And degoogle the shit out of it with some alternative os. That will be my hard reset with all the things i mention on previous post.

Part 4:how to improve?
-have set times to check your measages. If its important, they will call !
-leave the phone charging while at home, use messaging on the PC more mindfully
-at home, reach for your notebooks or gaming handheld collections more, not the phone
-dont check phone as a first thing on the morning, do it after breakfast
-downgrade and degoogle the phone

This is a start at least. Right?

Part 3: go dumbphone?
-i have 2 jobs that both require whatsap for communication, even on the move
-i need modern banking app
-some functions like navigation and access to webbrowser is sometimes needed on the go so i would need backup smartphone anyway for travel

So, even if i go full dumbphobe i would end up needing a smartone on the side. Like it or not you are living in a digital world honey!

Part 2: bad phone!
-Always reaching for it at home
-So many messages always interrupting thought!
-"i have to ansver imediatly!" feeling i get when i hear a notice
-Going to same old sites and do nothing of value or even fun, not really reading anything
-not writing things down anymore

I only post and browse mastodon as my social media so i dont have doomscrolling habits at least.

AI's Energy Demands Are Out of Control. Welcome to the #Internet's #HyperConsumption Era

Generative artificial intelligence tools, now part of the everyday user experience online, are causing stress on local #PowerGrids and mass water evaporation.

by Reece Rogers
July 11, 2024

"In addition to high levels of #energy usage, the data centers that train and operate generative AI models consume millions of gallons of #water.

"The water that is available for people to use is very limited. It's just the fresh surface water and #groundwater. Those data centers, they're just evaporating water into the air,' says Shaolei Ren, a responsible AI researcher at UC Riverside and coauthor of 'Making AI Less ‘Thirsty’: Uncovering and Addressing the Secret Water Footprint of AI Models.'

"While it may appear similar at first, the impact on the local #environment from companies operating giant data centers is not comparable to the impact from residents who may take multiple bubble baths a week or leave the faucet running while they brush their teeth. 'They're different from normal, residential users. When we get the water from the utility, and then we discharge the water back to the sewage immediately, we are just withdrawing water—we're not consuming water,' Ren says. 'A data center takes the water from this utility, and they evaporate the water into the sky, into the atmosphere.' He says the water consumed by data centers may not return to the earth’s surface until a year later.

[...]

"Around the world, the server farms that train and operate AI models may compete with local residents and businesses for power—possibly leading to #blackouts during peak times."

I have a „Manual of Me“ in my professional e‑Mail signature for a while now. That describes when and how to reach me, and how I communicate or set tasks.

What it doesn’t do in depth or any detail is describing what I’m really good at or what I’m bad at.

And that is something that no team should ever ask from its members. Forcing people to write down or reveal what they are good and bad at is… bad. For multiple reasons:

One reason is that a lot of times, people don’t really know what their relevant weaknesses are. Or they don’t like to face them. Or they know them, face them internally, but won’t ever admit to them to their boss or coworkers. Because, let’s face it, there is a real risk that this will be used against them.

In those cases, you’ll end up with weaknesses as „too driven“, „too detail oriented“, „not taking breaks enough“, with the hopes that they’ll look good.

The other thing is that what I might perceive as a big weakness might actually be insignificant in the team dynamic. Who cares if I can’t do math in my head at the speed of thought, I have a calculator app and a spreadsheet available at all times anyway!

So instead, I recommend thinking and talking at length within a team about how one communicates, decides, and documents things. There are lots of differences on how this can happen, especially if you cross cultural borders by having a diverse multinational team. (see https://​erinmeyer​.com/​b​o​o​k​s​/​t​h​e​-​c​u​l​t​u​r​e​-​m​ap/)

Putting those differences and preferences out into the open is really useful.

Things that are good to explain about oneself

Get your folks to explain themselves in these terms:

• what are their productive/waking hours? Are they night owls, early birds, or something in between?
• Do they prefer face-to-face, synchronous, asynchronous or just written communication?
• How do they like to separate documentation and decision-making?
• What is their instinct when it comes to looking for information? Which systems do they use, who do they ask (if they ask someone at all)?
• What are their notification etiquette? Are there times where you shouldn’t try to call them, or is that something you don’t need to worry about?
• How do they want to get tasks assigned and reviewed, how do they do this themselves?
• What are their preferred ways of addressing them? Honorific, nicknames, full names, pronouns, the works.

A tangent on leadership

I strongly advise that the team lead or most senior person of the group leads by example here. Don’t put the onus on the others to find out what is appropriate to share or tell, don’t let them guess what is necessary information. This is absolutely a managerial responsibility, to set the tone and expectations in a way that doesn’t discourage people, or makes them write in supplicant answers, in the hope to not look bad.

Communication can and should be trained, but it needs to start honest and open. If your team thinks they cannot be that way, you won’t get anywhere with them.

And power imbalances, even if you’re the most approachable manager of all, are still a thing. Subordinates will always have the next firing/hiring/promotion round in the back of their minds. Individual members of your team might thus not only worry about how they are perceived by you, but also by their peers, who could gleefully exploit any (perceived) weaknesses of others in order to get that promotion for themselves, or to prevent being axed when the inevitable downsizing comes.

Back to self descriptions

Self descriptions are useful. They make unspoken assumptions visible and clear, they highlight the differences between individuals in a way that makes them useful instead of a source of conflicts.

And they provide the basis on which to improve communication and collaboration within a group of people.

These self descriptions are not an end to themselves, they are a tool to figure out future collaboration and communication. Ideally, you encourage everyone to revisit their and other people manuals every now and then too.
