emerging belief: to make computing better, you gotta center your work on people and more specifically people's relationships to both the computer and each other

anything that's like "you gotta use X technology" or "you gotta not use Y technology" is barking up the wrong tree cos it centers it on the computer and not on the people (and their relationships)

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

"the number of people asking questions on SO has plummeted since chatgpt"

article goes on to not mention at all that SO made a deal with OpenAI to sell all the content on the site (belonging to its users) which then prompted open revolt which SO dealt with by *checks notes* banning people who had the nerve to delete or change their answers https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/09/stack_overflow_banning_users_who/

Really needed to get this out of my system:

All the current events aligns with this view. End-stage extractive capitalism is finally eating itself to failure. The only way to continue with this system is to force it by "de-abnormalization." Remove all the people who won't fit in a strict labor-based wealth-extraction system.

This explains the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick saying factory jobs are "the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here."

That's not dystopian to them, that's necessary for the system to continue.

A study just came out showing the majority of Americans can’t afford a minimal quality of life/basic cost of living.

The majority.

The richest country in the world is failing to provide for most of its citizens while the billionaires get richer.

Remember this the next time they talk about making America healthy again.

People need universal health care and basic income. Access to clean air and water. An end to food deserts and inequality.

There might only be a handful of co-ops and positions, but its up to all of you to help spread the word to co-ops/non-profits to list their job openings. We will do our part as well!

From all of us at @limeleaf@social.coop we thank you!

"I've heard people suggest that products that last slow economies. That isn't true. They change who gets to make money."

This right here is probably the real driver of disposability. If things last, rich parasites don't make excess profits from people continually replacing manufactured goods. Instead ordinary people keep the income from repairs in their circles. Can't allow working class people to thrive, or they won't be willing to be pawns any longer.
