I need to tell you something unsatisfying: your personal consumption choices will not make a meaningful difference to the amount of enshittification you experience in your life
Here's why you're getting enshittified: we deliberately decided to stop enforcing competition laws. As a result, companies formed monopolies and cartels. This means that they don't have to worry about losing your business or labor to a competitor, because they don't compete. It also means that they can handily capture their regulators, because they can easily agree on a set of policy priorities and use the billions they've amassed by not competing to capture their regulators. They can hold a whip hand over their formerly powerful tech workers, mass-firing them and terrorizing them out of any Tron-inspired conceits about "fighting for the user." Finally, they can use IP law to shut down anyone who makes technology that disenshittifies their offerings.
Eternal Flames
I’ve posted a new video on natural gas “eternal flames”. This video features info about the Darvaza “gate to hell” crater, which I previously wrote about for Spooky Geology, and new content related to the Eternal Flame falls in New York. I visited the falls in June 2025 and did research on how and why the flame exists. The Darvaza section contains new information about how the Turkmenistan government is aiming to extinguish the crater.

I'll be on stage speaking about some of ActivityPub's "hard problems", and what people are doing to fix them. It's a rehash and expansion of a talk I gave at FOSDEM this past February.
Are there threadiverse related problems? I'd imagine so. Would love to include them in my presentation.

Do You Condemn Israel?
Do you condemn Israel?
For years, the Democratic Party has litmus-tested candidates by asking if they disavow Hamas. Now, could the opposite become the norm?Mother Jones
the Democrat party is permanently dead to me, and it was their embrace of genocide & apartheid as cherished values which did it. absolutely unforgivable, and something which is not possible to fix or redeem. the entire power structure is rotten all the way to the core.
the only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
