I have the impression that primarily anglophone people don't read as much translated literature, because so much good literature already exists in their language, so this issue may not be as familiar within that demographic. As someone who did not grow up anglophone, I can tell you there is a world of difference between a good and a bad translation even when done by humans. Machine translations are not even on the scale.

❓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.

Bombard the New Headquarters, a new compilation release from Hong Kong's Serve the People just came out from United Eastern Tapes!

I am entranced by everything they do. Maoist black metal filtered through Death in June. Primitive, earnest, and unique. Congratulations to SUR on another fascinating tape!

@3rik I can't even express how much I love this. John Cage's music and ideas have shaped so much of how I see the universe!

@3rik Oh yeah, I haven't thought about them in a long time! That scene in Kyoto feels like it has fizzled out a bit, compared to 10 or 15 years ago. But I was lucky enough to see Toshio Kajiwara here this year. He is always amazing!
