The not-so secret language of fascist fashion

Yeah! Let’s deny structural problems exist and pretend everything is the fault of the individual! Shit, this meme is neoliberal propaganda.

His recent monologues are decent too, like the ones on why AI is bullshit and why there are no ethical billionaires

The last 100+ pages of his book are about solutions

He just published a major new book entitled Enshittification

TIL the feds think Fortnite doesn’t have text chat

Zero experience in TV, gets named head of a network for political reasons

Zuck promised flat out that there wouldn’t be any spying or surveillance, ever. That turned out to be a massive lie, of course (just as when Page & Brin told us in 1998 that they believed advertising was incompatible with search), but it was a big part of the draw of the early Facebook that you (seemingly) didn’t have to choose between your friends and getting spied on by Rupert Murdoch & Co over at Myspace.

That’s not what being a Luddite means

Benn Jordan did exactly this in his recent video on AI police cameras (at the 31:00 mark)

Cory Doctorow refers to this as the Anatevka problem.

Another word for paywalls is chokepoints

Conks!

This is basically all previously released and public domain stuff. They dumped these so that they can point to this and claim they’ve already released them whenever anyone demands they do so in the future.
