Reading about #Nvidia CEO crying about people not liking #AI, though it was a good time to recover this historic piece of art from the Copyright wars of the start of the century. Cc'ing @pluralistic

I was going to attend the @pluralistic lecture this week in Denver, but unfortunately can’t. Instead, this article by Cory appeared on Sunday in The Guardian. It’s what follows enshittification (hint: the AI bubble will burst but what then?), well worth the read.

In my neighborhood, I often see parcel delivery trucks from 5 different transport companies wasting energy to drive to the same homes on the same day.

This is unregulated capitalism.

Then comes trash day, and 1 company arrives with 1 garbage truck and empties all the trash cans in 1 go.

This is regulated capitalism.

The municipality decided only 1 company could win the garbage truck service job. They offer up the job every couple of years, 1 company wins, and we all save CO2 emissions.

Recycling is a toxic lie.

Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC.

"Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan has seized on warnings about potential blackouts, arguing that it is an example of how the energy "transition is failing""

The Liberal party spent a decade delaying the energy transition, pushing up energy prices and creating difficult to solve problems that we now have to deal with.

It is SO much easier for men to blame us than to topple the patriarchy from within.

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.
