Marginalised groups enjoying their human rights is not a threat to anyone else. Consuming more + more will not make us happier, it will destroy the earth. This is not rocket science.

The right-wing PM is excited. But data centres do not bring significant employment. Instead Finnish tax payers will be subsidising Google's power bill, while seeing pristine forest destroyed. #google #data #climatechange #datacentres #Finland30 Nov 2024 06:26 +0000at://did:plc:rvb2wzxbslu4gebdquieb2th/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc5hmfntwc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/norahel.bsky.social/post/3lbynsaktgc23Had a great time speaking to Jonathan Jackson, Erin Quinn + Aime Vaccaro of Dimagi about my journey into #ICT4D, current work at CRS + some of my passion topics - digital localisation, data ownership, diverse teams + not doing tech first.
