Hey friends, I thought you might all like to know we’ve done a big relaunch as a community group!
GFSC are a collective imagining hopeful post-billionaire technology and finding scraps of pleasure in a crumbled social order. Read about our new plans and support our tentative (but necessary) optimism.
Specifically, I think this community might be interested in this bit:
Lots of people want to make ethical, meaningful, creative and socially valuable technology and design but lack access to capital, social networks, project mentoring, and job opportunities to do this. With Universal Basic Income, GFSC would be a cinch to run – but we don’t have it so it’s a constant struggle to balance being able to survive in the short term with humanity’s survival (and our own joy!) in the long run.
Currently this means left-tech projects struggle to become sustainable. Lots of people are stuck in corporate jobs they don’t enjoy or think are worthwhile, struggling for employment at all, or have their political beliefs unrealised. It’s a very small sector economically, and we’re all struggling to fill our books. While client work can pay the bills it’s not always what we think needs doing most – the charity, grassroots and non-profit sector can be very siloed and backwards looking and the projects we can see as tech practitioners that need building need us to work together to find resources to build them.

Do give us a sub if you can
