I am mostly self-hosting, so I am not worried about my code, but this is plain silly.

hey can anyone out there help me find critical/theoretical writing on hardware modding? (especially on video game hardware, but any kind of consumer modification of industrially-manufactured products would work)

I know that (e.g.) Stephanie Boluk and Patrick Lemieux have studied video game modding from a software perspective, but I don't know anyone studying hardware mods in particular.

(doesn't need to be "academic," just looking for stuff beyond tutorials and enthusiast press)

(boosts ok!)

El libro, titulado "La carta de un ausente" , es una narrativa de ficción que fue escrita en el marco de un concurso por los 100 años de Mario Benedetti e Idea Vilariño. El mismo relata la historia de Idea, una mujer que intenta saber que pasó con su abuelo Mario que desapareció ciando era niña. El autor leyó un fragmento y me pareció excelente. Aca un video de un trabajo audiovisual sobre el libro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwOQfGczRA

La semana próxima estaremos participando de la cuarta convergencia #TransHackFeminista 🙌

Se trata de un encuentro autogestionado por una red mundial de transfeministas, feministas, queer, trans y personas de todos los géneros, interesadas en entender mejor, usar y desarrollar tecnologías libres para disentir socialmente, como alternativa a la corporativización de las tecnologías y el mundo digital.

Mankind is even closer to its final extinction than most people thought. WIthout plankton the oceans will die off. Without oceans all of life is going to die, and the atmosphere will quickly become humanly uninhabitable.
