✨ Now available in the US ✨

Intriguing and inspiring stories, an almost up-to-date state of the art of maintenance and repair studies, and a deep dive into the worries, diplomacy and ambivalences of the art of making things last.

Pourquoi reconstruisons-nous les monuments « à l’identique » ?

Depuis les années 1990 ont émergé de nouvelles pratiques de (re)construction, en dehors du champ d’action du service des Monuments historiques.

Like most of the people here, I frown each time I wish a happy new year for my friends and colleagues. I am increasingly frightened and depressed.

BUT, I received a long and pretty moving email from Mierle Laderman Ukeles yesterday.
And I've kept smiling like an idiot since then.

I'm grateful for my brilliant students. One wrote about impacts of last weekend's debacle: "if we only talk about #Waymo, we will miss a critical, broader conversation around how San Francisco’s innovation policy still treats the city as a laboratory first and a community second." archive.ph/x6Iyq

San Francisco should learn from Waymo’s power outage debacle — and enact tech rollout standards

OPINION: “The weekend outage gave us a clear, non-theoretical glimpse of what happens when new systems meet old infrastructure,” Michael Redmond writes.

Workers powering the AI industry face terrible conditions, but they shouldn’t have to.

Workers powering the AI industry face terrible conditions, but they shouldn’t have to – interview

Mark Graham, founder of the Fairwork initiative, notes that most of the human labour in the AI supply chain is data work in low-income countries done under poor conditions.

📕🚢Travailler, travailler encore, Dockers en lutte à Dunkerque est un cadeau idéal pour quelqu'un qui s'intéresse aux luttes ouvrières du 20e siècle à leurs relations avec celles d'aujourd'hui. On y parle de savoir-faire ouvrier, de désindustrialisation, de néo-libéralisme et aussi d'utopies !

Couverture du livre intitulé "Travailler, travailler encore, Dockers en lutte à Dunkerque" écrit par Antoine Tricot, la couverture montre 4 dockers travaillant dans les années 1970 en bleu de travail et chemise à carreau sur un chargement de bois sur le port de Dunkerque.

A distressing story about how #car battery #recycling (not of the electric car ones!) poisons workers and people across the planet, and companies have known this for 3 decades.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.
