As yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.

I've had this idea for a few days. I finally put it together this afternoon.

One of those rare days where the wind was in the perfect direction for the entire sail. We started deep downwind with a full Genoa and main, then switched to main + asym spinnaker for broad-beam reaching, & concluded the passage with main+staysail+genoa in close reach. 😍😍😍 #sailing #sailboats #sails

Trump DOJ trying to get Ticketmaster off the hook, grrrr: https://www.bigtechontrial.com/p/a-wild-day-as-trump-doj-settles-with?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1937859&post_id=190396027&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=wabr&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

A Wild Day as Trump DOJ Settles with Live Nation/Ticketmaster, State Enforcers Balk

The Trump DOJ settled with Ticketmaster, while state enforcers said they'll continue. The judge is mad, the parties showed "absolute disrespect for the court, for the jury, for this entire process."

Today was #boatProject day! In which I figure out how to patch our canvas enclosure to extend it's life (and our wallet).

In addition to replacing some tired Velcro, I made some extensions to snap the canvas onto the cockpit. The old snaps didn't reach after the last clear replacement, and the back panels flop all over the place. Flop no more! My extensions work!

❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!

➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)

Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.

More than 80 groups in Europe and the US has joined in a call to action.
