I know the Critical Drinker isn't a fan favourite with everyone in the fediverse. If I'm honest - and I always try to be - that's part of what makes CD videos a guilty pleasure for me.

Anyway, my recent invective against 'identi-Moonies' probably had most of those people urging their mods to nuke my account from orbit. So if you're seeing this, you're probably capable of at least some degree of nuanced thought.

Mission accomplished. Moving on ...

Why it matters:

Consolidation like this hands more power to a single media company, hurts competition, and lets executives squeeze higher fees from pay-TV providers — which means higher bills and fewer local jobs.

I just remembered one other thing I wanted to comment on from this edition of the Bradbury Group;

https://thedailyblog.co.nz/8pm-live-tonight-the-bradbury-group-with-kieran-mcanulty-on-labours-state-of-the-nation-matthew-hooton-david-cunliffe-and-quilae-wong-political-panel/

Which was Bomber's advocacy for a state-backed supermarket chain. With all due respect to Comrade Bradbury, this is right up there with GST off fruit and veges as far as uninspiring policy goes.

Unfortunately, there are no easy solutions to breaking the power of monopolies and cartels once they're established. But maybe showing US and EU legislators that WIPO treaty rules against adversarial interoperation ("anti-circumvention") are working against the interests of most copyright holders could move the needle?

Social music distribution in one click?

This points to the most obvious technical obstacle to implementing @icaria36’s idea. If a server pushes data at another server, that’s a juicy target for automated spam. Services prevent that by making anyone who wants to push data to their server get a unique API key, which can be revoked if they abuse it (or the service operators just don’t like what they do with it). Any website that could be used for one-click publishing would need an API key for each music platform it wanted to publish to...

💻 The Mechanics of Modern Digital Capture

Cory Doctorow outlines how “enshittifiers” misuse computing power—turning open networks into controlled, surveilled, profit-extracting systems.
We explore the long arc of platform power, the systemic decline of user-first design, and what collective action is needed to restore a free and open internet.
