Tech workers have historically been respected and well-paid, without unions. The power of tech workers did not come from solidarity, but from scarcity, Doctorow said. The minute bosses ordered tech workers to enshittify the product they were loyally working on, perhaps missing various important social and family events to ship it on time, those workers could say no—perhaps in a much more coarse way. Tech workers could simply walk across the street ““and have a new job by the end of the day”” if the boss persisted.

So labor held off enshittification after competition, regulation, and interoperability were all systematically undermined and did so for quite some time—until the mass tech layoffs. There have been half a million tech workers laid off since 2023, more are announced regularly, sometimes in conjunction with raises for executive salaries and bonuses. Now, workers cannot turn their bosses down because there are ten others out there just waiting to take their job.

Valid criticism isn’t baseless hate. And, is better to be skeptical than blindly complacent.

Someone else also suggested a pet tracker. It seems like this could work for my use case.

Any ones you know of/recommend?

Someone else also suggested a pet tracker. It seems like this is the way to go for a hardware tracker.

But find my cat isn’t available yet (according to website), so are there any others you know of/recommend?

Indeed!

Looks like this would solve it for my phone, but I’m still looking for a hardware tracking device to mount on my bike.

Makes sense. I will look into this, thank you. Still on the lookout for a hardware tracker though.

That’s fair. I suppose I’m wondering if there’s a “lesser of x evils” scenario.

I support this. But it would also be great for us to capture the content within the walled gardens of Instagram, Facebook, etc.

What about a database containing the names and faces of all of his supporters alike?

Because the clown is the clown, but he’d be nothing without the circus.

Can you elaborate further on Eufy? I was looking at this as it’s one of the few local options. What makes it not private?

Is there an ELI5 of how Kiwix works? I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around it.

Can you use it to search for old versions of web pages too?

Don’t use Telegram, let alone pay for it. So many red flags with Telegram.

This pisses me off so much.

Strange. I’m not seeing it. This is within the default phone app correct?

Screenshot? I don’t seem to have that.
