Happy #WorldBackupDay! Backups are vital, but don't forget connectivity redundancy, especially for cloud & #AI. Avoid the "Application Performance Trap" - one fast connection isn't foolproof. Multiple paths (neutral IXs help!) prevent downtime. #Redundancy #Connectivity

In Europe, in the context of Internet Archive Europe @stichtinginternetarchive (https://www.internetarchive.eu/brewster-kahle-on-the-future-of-internet-archive-europe-highlights-from-the-14-march-borrel/ ), @brewsterkahle underlined the concept of "Public/Collective Intelligence" noting "the importance of freely accessible knowledge across cultural and linguistic barriers"
As #redundancy of #DigitalPreservation infrastructure is becoming more and more vital, how the @stichtinginternetarchive will be able to potentially support part of this redundancy may matter even more

@JanPV just came across your post searching #Redundancy - i sm thinking of eritinga paper about it (having also been made redundant, by my university). I hope it’s ok to cite what you wrote here (anonymously, of course)? Very glad to hear you are not living in a cardboard box!
UK politics
Streeting is helping Reeves grow the economy and Starmer cut the benefits bill by adding 9,300 civil servants to the dole queue. Thus both shrinking the economy and adding to the cost of unemployment benefit.
Have I missed something? I feel like I must’ve missed something.
Oh, and I would imagine costing the public purse millions in #redundancy payments. Probably followed by realising in a months that many of those roles were needed and having to rehire

This article is hard to stomach for all those of us currently looking for work, and not finding anything suitable, or anything at all. But it’s good that at least rising #unemployment is recognised now.
My own #redundancy last year and subsequent struggles have made me so alert to all these wider structural changes; I am really scared that this may be just the beginning. Terrible combination of AI and money going only to the rich

Such a great documentary from 1978.
Stand out things are, in general, how happy people running their own businesses seem.
Also, Sir Clive Sinclair at 37 (I think they said), looking like he's already in his late 50s.

Cambridge CoreNice Labour government.
My own redundancy this summer has made me kind of super alert to all redundancy announcements, I feel each one really strongly - I really feel for these 10,000 people.
It is happening in so many sectors, but a Labour government doing this just just 
NZ health cuts costly
#Health workers say #cuts are actually #costing public system more. "We've paid #redundancy to someone and then replaced them with someone on a higher hourly rate." https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/535973/health-workers-say-cuts-are-actually-costing-public-system-more
There I can see, to nobody's surprise, the two charges. The agent puts me on hold for five minutes. Comes back and tells me that he is able to see the charges in a parallel system. So the bank has two systems to handle charges. #redundancy He then explains that my card portal is actually a third system, so that these kinds of discrepancies are to be expected.
In 2006, I was made redundant due to unending erosion of the UK university sector.
People's response to this was odd. First, most colleagues avoid you like the plague. They don't want to be associated with someone who's been targeted for eviction. Or they don't know what to say. Or both.
Two decades later, whenever I meet someone from that place, they seem to believe - hope even - that I ended up in a cardboard box. When they realise I didn't, they lose interest.
#FollowTheMoney 44/n but also: #Redundancy has made me think deeply (of course!) about the role of money in personal decision making. I may be wrong but it feels like this is something we don’t talk about much, and yet it is is so central to everything! I DO want to talk about it, even if I have nothing insightful to say actually. Just a few observations.
1. Money was at core of my decisions around redundancy. I have two teenage children and a high mortgage.
#FollowTheMoney 42/n Firstly, I am conscious of my own #redundancy being very much part of the wider hollowing out, draining out of both public services and professional, creative industries everywhere (see many posts 
). I am really scared about this - it’s strange how this is happening but not really talked about; no #unemployment crisis narrative at all, as of course most people, like me, end up not being “unemployed” but doing smaller, precarious jobs; very few of us on benefiso no stats
#FollowTheMoney 41/n Ok so the reason for the long pause in this was being made rdundant in July, by my lovely (not) employer of 13 years, Goldsmiths University. You can read all about it in this long #AcademicVenting , tracing the whole sorry saga from first rumblings in Nov ‘23 to the bitter end. But of course, #redundancy is all about money, and I think about money all the time now (I have to), so really should write it about it all here a bit
I love this response to managerial bullshit!
Workers at Don't Nod to strike in reaction to studio's recent redundancy plan
@curmudgeonaf 
yes! I hadn’t applied for anyrhing in 13 years and coming from academia now having to look beyond (NO jobs within) makes it all the more bewildering, but i fully agree: the process as a whole is insane now! All the AI, and all the extra work and stress this creates for applicants , just trying to ensure your application will be seen by a human…. it is all so hard (and so existential, in so many ways). Wishing you all the best for your search
