I am definitely adding "enshitification" to my lexicon.
Replying to @doctorow
The irony is rich. Advocates for surveillance in apps say that gathering all this telemetry yields intelligence to make their apps better. But they have somehow managed to miss the fact that gathering the telemetry itself is a great enshitification of their app.

I feel like to many people are recognizing how US provoked Russia; but then fail to recognize that Russian is also Imperialist. Oligarch and Plutocrats are garbage whichever side the battlefield they are on.

If you can’t say no, it’s not a choice. It’s a command. More of our “AI ethics” or “techlash” or “resistance” or whatever needs to be based on refusal. Saying no to stuff before it exists. Smashing stuff after it’s made. Taking control in a meaningful way with material methods.

I thought Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower was incredibly prophetic. Then I started Parable of the Talents. Good God (is Change) did she take it to the next level. I am nervous to read past chapter 4. #parableofthesower #parableofthetalents #earthseed #OctaviaButler

I think @vinn_ayy is genius comedy. I think @BrotiGupta made a good joke. I am curious why mutuals are arguing.

It’s obvious who has real power when you compare these two major, back to back, supreme court rulings: • One vastly expands the gov’s ability to police and control women’s bodies. • One vastly restricts the gov’s ability to police and control corporate actions / climate change.

This. They think since they have guns everyone will cower to them. I think they misjudge.
