Two #degrowth related events this week:

🕒 Thursday, April 24, 2025 12:00 PM - 13:00 PM at AUD3 in #copenhagen or online

CCIT Seminar with @neil_selwyn on Digital Degrowth

"In 2020, Wired magazine declared degrowth to be "the worst idea on the planet". Three years later, Marc Andreessen called out degrowth as a "bad idea" and an "enemy" to technological progress. Taking inspiration from Andrew Ahern’s observation that "degrowth pisses off all the right people", Neil Selwyn considers what degrowth and post-growth thinking might have to offer those looking to radically break away from the destructive modes of digital excess that have come to define the first few decades of the twenty-first century. In short, this talk considers a deceptively simple question - how might degrowth thinking support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies?"

London Security Engineering Meetup: Alec Muffett “End to End Encryption: Why You Should Implement It” (May 08, 1800h)

Join us for the May edition of the London Security Engineering meetup at Wise’s London offices!

We are thrilled to host Alec Muffett, a distinguished technologist and security consultant with over 30 years of experience in cryptography and security.

I’m going to try something a little more experimental with this presentation, aiming avoid slides and foster a little more audience discussion than the usual “slide deck and slick talk” typical of some meetups; given the nature of the audience my hope is for people who build systems and solutions to come away with a greater understanding of how to shape their code and solutions to build a product with a smaller attack surface and less risk.
