create Calagator::Event 1250482252 Cory Doctorow at Powells Books Roll back

description nil new book from Cory Doctorow: Enshittification Enshittification: it's not just you — the internet sucks now. Here's why, and here's how we can disenshittify it. We're living through the Enshittocene, the Great Enshittening, a time in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit. It's frustrating. Demoralizing. Even terrifying. Enshittification (MCD) identifies the problem and proposes a solution. When Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification, he was not just finding a funner way to say "things are getting worse." He was making a specific diagnosis about the state of the digital world and how it is affecting all of our lives (and not for the better). The once-glorious internet was colonized by platforms that made all-but-magical promises to their users — and, at least initially, seemed to deliver on them. But once users were locked in, the platforms turned on them to make their business customers happy. Then the platforms turned to abusing their business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. In the end, the platforms die. Doctorow's argument clearly resonated. Once named, it became obvious that enshittification is everywhere, so much so that the American Dialect Society named it its 2023 Word of the Year, and was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. Here, now, in Enshittification the book, Doctorow moves the conversation beyond the overwhelming sense of our inevitably enshittified fate. He shows us the specific decisions that led us here, who made them, and — most important — how they can be undone.

description nil An Upstart Collective Lunch and Learn event (free to all Portland entrepreneurs and founders, just bring your own lunch) The Stoic Startup: Building Unbreakable Companies from the Inside Out What if the secret to startup resilience isn't found in market analysis or funding rounds, but in ancient philosophy? Most entrepreneurs obsess over the externals: What product to build? Which market to enter? How much can we charge? Where's the funding? They architect business models and competitive strategies, yet overlook the most critical design decision of all—what kind of company they're actually creating.

create Calagator::Event 1250482247 Legendary Lunch Networking #1: Retrain The Funk Out Of Portland Roll back

description nil Overview Legendary Lunch #1: Reclaim Portland. Retrain Portland. If you’re unemployed, underemployed, or just ready to stop waiting for Portland to come back—join us. AI isn’t a career killer. Fear is. Let’s rebuild community, confidence, and creativity—one lunch at a time. Why This Matters Portland’s energy used to be legendary—builders, dreamers, tinkerers meeting over sandwiches and big ideas. Somewhere along the way, that spark faded. Now, in what I call the Great Portland Downturn, we have a chance to get it back. This isn’t another networking event. It’s a revival—a working lunch for people who want to build, adapt, and reconnect. Whether you’re looking for a job, plotting a pivot, or trying to make sense of AI’s impact on your work, this is for you. What to Expect Real talks, no fluff. Fast, practical sessions on AI, the future of work, and what’s actually next. Unconference format. From 1:30–3:30 PM, you lead the conversations—lightning talks, birds-of-a-feather groups, soapboxes. Actual community. No recruiters or empty pitches. Just people helping people get unstuck and move forward. Sample Sessions Using AI to scale your job search – find better opportunities, faster How to prepare before layoffs hit – use adrenaline and AI to stay ahead Why liberal arts are the hidden power skill of the AI age English as the new programming language – communicate, think in systems, and get results without coding Agentic and code-swarming workflows – what’s emerging at Nedspace right now Staying sane while job-hunting with AI – practical mental health tools AND MORE COMING EACH DAY..... Want to speak or host a group? Great. Submit your idea—you’ll get a 30-minute slot. (And yes, no commercial talks unless they clearly add value to the community.) Who We Are My name is Surj Patel, and along with my ally Shaan Kirpalani, we’re determined to make Portland network like it used to—and care like it used to. With help from Faris Mubarak and Nedspace, we’re hosting this series as part of our mission to retrain, reconnect, and reignite the city’s creative core. The Spirit You don’t need to learn Python or become a Stanford-trained prompt whisperer. You need discipline, common sense, and systems thinking. AI doesn’t make you someone else—it amplifies who you already are. Let’s make sure it amplifies the best parts of us. This is where Portland’s comeback begins. Greatness isn’t given—it’s built. Together. Hosted by NEOU at Nedspace, downtown Portland’s entrepreneurial hub. Free admission with BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch) or paid tickets include a catered meal. FREE. FOCUSED. FUN. FAST FORWARD. (We welcome more collaborations , reach out by signing up)

description nil Along with the variety of spooky DIY projects that are sure to show up this month, we're continuing our new series of quick talks in the midst of the usual free-flowing chaos. This month's talk is by Jonathan Moore: *"Half again as much means twice the fun!"* - Up until the 20 nm process node—the end of the planar-transistor era—the cost per transistor was halving on a regular cadence. Historically, we’ve used that bounty to boost CPU capabilities, but it also meant we could design CPUs that cost half as much. This talk explores that path: what’s happened with cheap CPUs/MCUs and what it might mean for hackers and open hardware. People doing strange things with electricity! DorkbotPDX is a relaxed, informal show-and-tell for electronic artists, circuit designers, microcontroller programmers, retro computing enthusiasts, video game designers, digital archaeologists, and mod synth gearheads in Portland, Oregon. Bring your electronic wonders, monsters, and works-in-progress for others to see, or come see what others have been working on! Whether it's code or circuits, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here. Table space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we'll have a table for drinks and snacks, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB. The Free cart is back, take or leave some components (don’t leave TOO much, if you have big stuff, maybe check the Discord/mailing list to see if anyone is interested in taking it first!)

description nil That PLUG Clinic you like is coming back into style! The PLUG Clinic returns again this month on October 19th, from 1pm-5pm, at Willamette University's space on the 2nd floor of the Ecotrust Building. If you need help with your Linux computer, or want to offer help, you are welcome! Volunteer helpers are as desirable as helpees. Helping is fun and rewarding. If you've ever helped out at a PLUG Clinic before, come checkout the space! Thank you Willamette University, for hosting us!

venue_details nil The Willamette University space is on the second floor. You may enter the building through the Hot Lips Pizza, facing the parking lot adjacent to 10th Avenue. The stairway to the 2nd floor is gated, but that should be unlocked (if not, look for a PLUG notice with a Penguin and a phone number you can SMS to get let in). The elevator should work. The off-street parking adjacent to 10th Avenue is "open to the public on weekends", but probably safest to pick the slots marked Guest, if available. Optionally, pizza is available on premises, other food options are available nearby.

description nil Didn’t catch it live? Here’s your chance to watch the replay of this thought-provoking Tech Talk on how AI is reshaping coding. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how developers approach their work, not by replacing them, but by shifting the focus from simply writing lines of code to understanding and applying AI-driven concepts. In this replay, you’ll learn when AI-generated code should be trusted, the risks of relying too heavily on it, and how programmers can stay relevant in an AI-driven future. Rather than another discussion on AI-assisted coding, this session takes a balanced approach, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges AI brings to software development. Watch the replay with us on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET. Perfect for developers, engineers, and tech professionals, this session will show you how to embrace AI as a tool while keeping the problem-solving and critical thinking skills that define great programming. Join the conversation about the future of coding!

description nil Summary: ROCm is a software stack, composed primarily of open-source software, that provides the tools for programming AMD Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), from low-level kernels to high-level end-user applications. AMD recently released ROCm-7.0.0 with all the libraries and runtimes needed to run compute applications on Linux. As an open source system there are a lot of options for building and deploying ROCm on Linux for users to choose from. In this talk I will give an overview of how ROCm is structured, the options available, and requirements for users with older AMD hardware that may no longer be officially supported. I will also demonstrate an OpenCL application running on the GPU. NOTE: I am not affiliated with AMD. The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of the challenges associated with running OpenCL applications on AMD hardware using various Linux distributions.

description nil As you've likely seen in local media lately, gun violence in Portland has been on the rise. In response, the City of Portland commissioned a task force to study the issue and recommend actions that city commissioners can take to address the issue and solve the problem (reduce gun violence). After several months of meetings, the Focused Intervention Team / Community Oversight Group (FIT/COG) submitted a recommendation to Mayor Ted Wheeler in favor of adopting ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology. What is ShotSpotter, and how does it work? Are its results accurate and is the technology effective? Has it been successful in other cities that have implemented it? What are the trade-offs, and would the benefits outweigh the costs — in terms of both financial and negative impacts to the community? Join us for a two-part event to learn more about ShotSpotter and other gunshot detection systems and forms of acoustic surveillance! Decide for yourself whether this tool might be effective in solving Portland's gun violence problem. During the event's first half, learn from our panelists how ShotSpotter and other gunshot detection technologies work and how they've performed in other cities. The second half of the meeting will be a workshop, where you can learn more about what happens with the FIT/COG recommendation. Ways you can provide input into whether ShotSpotter should be installed in Portland. Bring your questions, and come learn how you can make your voice heard on this issue! Please RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to [email protected].
