  3. As the countdown to 2024 begins, here's a recap of some of the books #openhumanitiespress has published in 2023. Beginning with this from January:

    Data Farms, ed. by Tsvetelina Hristova, Brett Neilson and Ned Rossiter.

    Like all OHP books, Data Farms is available #openaccess:

    openhumanitiespress.org/books/

    What's at stake in naming #datacentres as #datafarms. These installations are essentially hangars packed with #computers. They congregate #servers, switches and wires that facilitate the storage, processing and transmission of #data in high volumes and at fast speeds. Data centres present a scale of operations, potentially planetary in scope, that intensifies and multiplies the productive and extractive capacities of #digitaltechnologies.

    The economic advantages to parties with servers in these installations derive not only from opportunities for networking but also from inputs to client machines that may be situated at vast distance. Yet data centres have precise locations...

  5. The importance of #ethics in #DigitalDesign lies in the fact that #DigitalTechnologies have become deeply ingrained in nearly every aspect of our lives, from how we #communicate and access #information, to how we conduct business and govern our societies. As such, the way these technologies are designed and developed can have far-reaching consequences for #individuals and #communities.

  6. Have been feeling inspired after doing some work assembling communities that I'm really interested in - thought I'd do a tag dump for some of the areas that I'm looking into, as well as have already found super interesting, have been following and am boosting... (not in alphabetical order and probably too broad but for my own future reference also!)
