Permacomputing Club
Weekly drop-in meet-up at SET exploring sustainable, anti-capitalist approaches to technology through discussion and collective problem solving
@ How can we rethink our relationship to harmful technologies? Join the Permacomputing Club every Monday at SET Social for a weekly meet-up exploring this question and more sustainable ways to use and think about digital tools. Inspired by permaculture, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist project that challenges the environmental and social damage caused by modern technology. Drawing on ideas from degrowth, ecologism, decolonial thinking and intersectional feminism, it looks for alternatives to the energy-intensive systems shaping today’s tech landscape. Each session emphasises collaborative discussion over solo tinkering. Participants are invited to share a problem they’ve read or experienced, where they’ll receive feedback and work together to find solutions. In a culture dominated by harmful tech practices, including AI, the Permacomputing Club aims to build a more thoughtful space to explore new and different possibilities. All are welcome, though women and non-binary participants are particularly encouraged to join. Please bring your own tech and have a look at our guiding principles before attending: permacomputing.net/Principles
