"The efficiency gains of #automation aren't just about using fewer workers to achieve the same output – it's about the fact that the workers you fire in this process can be used as a threat against the remaining workers: "Do your job and shut up or I'll fire you and give your job to one of your former colleagues who's now on the breadline."

"We’re in a new political universe now, one in which the chief presumption is that #whitemen are inherently qualified for their roles while #women and #racialminorities are presumptively not. In some ways, this is very retro, harking back to days when these groups were formally excluded from public office, many jobs and public participation, and when various white male authority figures would opine on their lack of aptitude for these roles.
But #MAGA ideology is even worse: A person’s professional and social fitness is determined solely by loyalty to a #singlestrongman. Intelligence, credentials, experience, expertise, even the basic ability to function as a working adult? None of that matters. This is how we get #Trump’s Cabinet stacked with some of the least qualified people to set foot in the Senate chamber at the same time as his administration rails against #DEI. The same party that claims to abhor #identitypolitics actually adopts the most extreme version of it, one in which white men are considered deserving of all power, influence, and confidence by virtue of who they are, regardless of any qualifications."

Where @nprofile…6vjn tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:
"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

"This is the most important lesson of #scams: that no matter how well-attuned you are to #cons, you can still be #conned. The belief that you are immune to a con actually makes you a mark. It's for that reason that I recount the tales of how I got #scammed – to help other people understand that being sophisticated, alert and even paranoid is no guarantee that you will be #safe."

A theory of change [for the #EU, and the #GlobalSouth]: Ditch #IPlaws and #copyprotection, and set #interoperability free!!
"America's robust GDP figures are a mirage, artificially buoyed up by the monopoly rents extracted by #USBigTech, who prey on Americans AND foreigners.
But foreigners don't have to tolerate this nonsense. Governments around the world signed up to protect giant American companies from small domestic competitors (from local app stores—for phones, games consoles, and IoT gadgets—to local printer cartridge remanufacturers) on the promise of tariff-free access to US markets. With #Trump imposing tariffs will-ye or nill-ye on America's trading partners large and small, there is no reason to go on delivering rents to US Big Tech."

"How, Milton [Friedman], do you propose to convince the vast majority of people that they should settle for being forelock-tugging plebs, groveling before their social betters for the chance to scrub their toilets?"
#MiltonFriedman had an answer: "In #timesofcrisis, ideas can move from the fringe to the center in an eyeblink. Our job is to keep good ideas lying around, in anticipation of that crisis."
Friedman was a monster.
But.
He had a hell of a #theoryofchange."

#Disenshittify, NOW!! We have a chance: #IP!!
"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's #monopoly trial against #Google, we know what they did. They made #search worse. They reduced the system's accuracy it so you had to search twice or more to get to the answer, thus doubling the number of queries, and doubling the number of #ads.
Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with #Facebook, codenamed #JediBlue, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." @nprofile…qz4x

DON't go crazy with the Internet!
"Do people really allow their devices to interrupt them on a random reinforcement schedule? I mean, no wonder the internet makes people go crazy. I'm not a big believer in #BFSkinner, but I think it's well established that any stimulus that occurs at random intervals is impossible to get used to, and shocks you anew every time it recurs."

Listen! #Knowledge coming from #museums:
"#ActivityPub is plumbing. It is plumbing built on top of the web, which coordinates the ability for independently operated services, for example a collection of federated social media services, to exchange messages with each other in a decentralized manner.
So #SFOMuseum has built its own ActivityPub server for publishing #socialmedia style messages.
In doing so, it means that we can(& have)created social media accounts for 60,000 objects in our collection including this roll of #HelloKitty toilet paper from #EvaAirlines."

"Then, suddenly, in a five to seven thousand year burst, no fewer than seven locations independently developed #agriculture. These locations did not adopt agriculture from one another, were not engaged in long-distance #trade with each other, and weren’t even related by conquest; there was no #culturalexchange that explains how all of these places took to the plough and the field simultaneously, and yet they did."

"A tablet of wood inscribed with the undeciphered "rongorongo" script from the Eastern Pacific island Rapa Nui is one of the few independently invented writing systems.
The wood from one of four rongorongo tablets preserved in a collection in Rome dates to between 1493 and 1509 — more than 200 years before the first recorded arrival of Europeans on the island in the 1720s."
