"The way I see it, there's 2 ways this can go. Being serfs in a "Technological Republic" or revolution. Neither option is fun, but 1 enslaves future generations while the other has potential upside. Whatdayahave?"

The working class are slaves to their corporate masters. Capitalism in the US feels like Feudalism. You have no power over the evil bastard executives without labour unions.

Absolutely! And thanks for walking the talk so thoughtfully, this so resonates & yet it's so unusual I hardly have words to think about it, which is why your example is so valuable: "« In this age of #technofeudalism every writer who covers technology - especially resistance to #BigTech - should disclose their tech stack. Here's mine »"
Ah... Leading by example!
Also... I finally understand the concept of 'tech stack'! Thanks again! 🙏 -

The step from techno-feudalism, as illustrated by #Varoufakis, to techno-nazifacism can be surprisingly short ... but it often looks like a #GooseStep !#Technofeudalism

The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same
"From the generic hipster cafe to the ‘Instagram wall’, the internet has pushed us towards a kind of global ubiquity – and this phenomenon is only going to intensify"
"The homogeneity contrasted with the overall hipster philosophy of the 2010s, namely, that by consuming certain products and cultural artefacts you could proclaim your own uniqueness apart from the mainstream crowd – in this case a particular coffee shop rather than an obscure band or clothing brand. “The irony of it all is that these spaces are supposed to represent spaces of individuality, but they’re incredibly monotonous."
"This homogenisation is not just a phenomenon of our own moment; it is a consequence of changes that happened long before algorithmic social media feeds, and is just as likely to intensify in the future."
"When her cafe started selling coffee online, Facebook and Instagram seemed to throttle its reach – unless it bought advertising and boosted the social media company’s own profits. It felt like algorithmic blackmail: pay our toll or we won’t promote you."
