Explain it. Notice it. Be outraged by it. <br/><br/>But also, at every opportunity we have, we have to reject it. (I noted, as I read the original article that I was accosted and asked for my email address twice, the second time while reading a section about how invasive and useless that is) <br/><br/>There are places that the Rot has not yet reached. We must identify them, share them, and embrace them. <br/><br/>(Linux and BSD, the fediverse in general, peertube, physical media, jellyfin/kodi)<br/><br/>When The Rot comes to places that should have been safe, we have to destroy them. Starve them of the users that power them or actually burn them to the ground. If you don&#39;t sanitize the area, the Rot will spread. <br/><br/>That means Ubuntu. That means bluesky.

It is not weak, but it is weaker than everything else. <br/><br/>I want to talk about that for a second, both what the author recommends and also what I recommend. <br/><br/>The author recommends putting a name to this rot, calling it out, explaining it to others, and identifying the people responsible. This is a great start! Google search didn&#39;t just get worse on its own, Prabhakar Raghavan instructed a team to destroy it. There is a person, a team of people, behind this decay. <br/><br/>I see the change for the sake of change / growth at any cost mindset in places where I really shouldn&#39;t, thought. Mastodon, for example. It seems like each new release has some new Growth Hack inspired assault. Eugen isn&#39;t doing it for exactly the same reasons, but the root is still a mindset that values Growth over every other metric. 2024-12-17T15:08:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqyawp84wgugzdyj9884am34nf9smdv2ke3h732yyynsdhal2lz7czyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4su6jvw6t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdqegzla3q27lnk4k7kv0j99m4pwyxcx6mmhxrnwksr47vw0a6lccahlm72'>nevent1q…lm72</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The author names it The Rot Economy, which I think is a good, appropriate, and accurate name. <br/><br/>He touches on Enshitification theory (via <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> ) but spends less time talking about the mechanism by which things are getting worse, and more time talking about the subjective experience of living through enshitification, and also about the growth mindset that enables it. <br/><br/>The analysis is good! The subjective experience of using technology today is deeply painful. We&#39;ve allowed the shitty smug nerd in our heads to convince us that it&#39;s acceptable becuase we know how to deal with it, but it&#39;s still a struggle, an assault. It&#39;s still Bad. <br/><br/>Growth for the sake of growth is rot. <br/><br/>Seeing it spelled out in very clear terms, in very specific terms, sends a powerful message. <br/><br/>(Cont.) 2024-12-17T15:01:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdqegzla3q27lnk4k7kv0j99m4pwyxcx6mmhxrnwksr47vw0a6lcczyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4su2uclqk There&#39;s a post going around right now that is a long, thorough analysis of the failures of technology in the last decade, and its is very good. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/">https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/</a><br/><br/>It&#39;s full of zingers like &#34;The average person’s experience with technology is one so aggressive and violative that I believe it leaves billions of people with a consistent low-grade trauma. We seem, as a society, capable of understanding that social media can hurt us, unsettle us, or make us feel crazed and angry, but I think it’s time to accept that the rest of the tech ecosystem undermines our wellbeing in an equally-insidious way. And most people don’t know it’s happening, because everybody has accepted deeply shitty conditions for the last ten years.&#34;<br/><br/>(Thread) 2024-12-17T14:55:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfyhp7fxv0865p8qdlv2jsye8d6m3pwthv706p0ngekghxzvwz5vszyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4su4r8qxa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw7kqgmvx9padkljp30h6gyau23hfd8xazk7cccj7r4pk0alc5rxguzc3hp'>nevent1q…c3hp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been really vocal about being from and living in a small town in the southeastern united states. <br/><br/>Cars kill people, and we should be less dependent on them, even in farm country like mine. 2024-12-16T16:22:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqp0p4j2hp94yrg6zz788p3tzqkmxuppmqv4qgmpaavem3v6r2s7qzyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4suh4wvny In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs87mqvt97xazpv22y6ht5hezuq7asyn22xrvkj443tdrtxtnuzc7ckxuhj6'>nevent1q…uhj6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><a href="https://youtu.be/FVegcCcMNS4?si=SkvaeXZWU-kLlX07">https://youtu.be/FVegcCcMNS4?si=SkvaeXZWU-kLlX07</a> 2024-12-16T15:56:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs87mqvt97xazpv22y6ht5hezuq7asyn22xrvkj443tdrtxtnuzc7czyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4sue50ym6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9m5tha0mt7kqywfdy3r6hxud4v204lkuv4fxvuapv76c86ekhh3gfpyms5'>nevent1q…yms5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Slow is good. 2024-12-16T15:55:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9m5tha0mt7kqywfdy3r6hxud4v204lkuv4fxvuapv76c86ekhh3gzyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4sumet6r3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2dklh4m8mcrrd2cnkavp39ngkgzgrjymaj7rwre0xhaqzshujn8cuupy9e'>nevent1q…py9e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Cars are too safe for their occupants and too hazardous for the rest of the world.

In the grand scheme of things, the modern world is an anomaly, a blip, and very much an unanswered question. <br/><br/>A human lifespan is pretty short. Our parents&#39; fights, and their parents&#39; fights, and their parents&#39; fights... they haven&#39;t just disappeared. They are still being fought. <br/><br/>(please understand that when I say &#34;fight&#34; in this context, I do not mean &#34;use violence.&#34; Sometimes the fight will demand violence, mostly the fight simply demands intention.) 2024-12-01T16:31:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw7ve0nceukycndctwwj8hepehm7a4a6kg69zlxum8xxx4c4z8g3czyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4suphxjtf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspqnq7lpkvvsq05yrgelvufqpyk0cvup7frqxddrzqnr9fm295sxglvqerl'>nevent1q…qerl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My parents did not raise me to fight. They did not have to fight. The Vietnam war was over by the time they were old enough to care. <br/><br/>Their parents had the opportunity to fight, but mostly they did not. <br/><br/>Well, that&#39;s not true. <br/><br/>My maternal grandmother ran away from home as a teenager and spent her teen years living with a black family in Chicago. She lived through a lot of racist violence, and she fought against it along side her adopted family. <br/><br/>But the others had the chance to fight, and chose not to. <br/><br/>My maternal grandfather ... well, he&#39;s got charisma, and that&#39;s about it. I don&#39;t know how he avoided military service. I don&#39;t know his thoughts on the Vietnam war. I do know that he was more interested in keeping peace than making progress. <br/><br/>My paternal grandparents were very Status Quo reinforcing white southern baptists. My grandfather enlisted in the coast guard at one point, and thus avoided being deployed to Vietnam. <br/><br/>But my great grandparents lived through the depression. Some of them were born in the midst of the first world war. And their parents? Well, they were children of the industrial revolution. <br/><br/>I was raised in a world that respected the status quo, and that taught me that history was settled. 2024-12-01T16:25:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspqnq7lpkvvsq05yrgelvufqpyk0cvup7frqxddrzqnr9fm295sxgzyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4suahh2f8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2rwq6kmlx7uswnp8cgnjgp04c9jph8g62shtrhy34m5q703ng87g7n4gcj'>nevent1q…4gcj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So, who stands to benefit from alienating us from our history? From making it seem ancient and settled? <br/><br/>(Those who benefit from the current status quo! Those who would suffer if we stopped acting like we fell out of a coconut tree.) 2024-12-01T16:12:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2rwq6kmlx7uswnp8cgnjgp04c9jph8g62shtrhy34m5q703ng87gzyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4suugqwvn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2kc2tz7w6tmu6sawxcrwvylmtsmtksk60rgt4arrz9z66mnxs0ngcf266k'>nevent1q…266k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>But the fights we&#39;re fighting today, about AI and automation and labor? <br/><br/>Those fights have been ongoing since the 19th century. The Luddites were fighting that fight. <br/><br/>The recording artists union was fighting that fight in the 1930s and 1940s. <br/><br/>We have a lot more in common with the average person living in gaslight era london than you might expect! The things they wrote, the things they thought, the fights they fought... all of it is as relevant as ever 2024-12-01T16:10:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2kc2tz7w6tmu6sawxcrwvylmtsmtksk60rgt4arrz9z66mnxs0ngzyqaw670plsvke547ggq052my3x2u4t6lnkzd20alfr7tpwr7rf4sux06zuh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2kt53dqav6x392wz49kq7jwn3q7dkzv43hxenc0g3a5ppfj8jkxgdlp57c'>nevent1q…p57c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I won&#39;t make the argument for the ways the industrial revolution(s) mirror the digital/information revolution(s?) of the 20th and early 21st century. There&#39;s an argument to be made there, but someone else can make it. People are the same as ever. 2024-12-01T16:02:52Z
