Yup.
For clarity, I stole "felony contempt of business-model" from Jay Freeman of the Cydia project.
I did a whole design fiction project to answer this question: https://www.eff.org/interoperablefacebook
It's not incorrect to use this word colloquially. See this post: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/14/pearl-clutching/#this-toi... Specifically: > The fact that a neologism is sometimes decoupled from its theoretical…
See: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/14/pearl-clutching/#this-toi... > Second: the fact that a neologism is sometimes decoupled from its theoretical underpinnings and is used colloquially is a feature, not a bug. Many…

Yup.
> Enshittification names the problem and proposes a solution. It's not just a way to say 'things are getting worse' (though of course, it's fine with me if you want to use it that way. It's an English word. We don't…
Here's the thing: > Misinformation about COVID being the most prescient and recent example for most people probably, propaganda from all sides that continues radicalization and polarization, and also tons of harassment…
I literally came out of retirement to rejoin EFF and fight DRM at the W3C. I managed to get the W3C membership to reject DRM twice, only to be overruled by the executive (the W3C's constitution allows for the director…
> a broken link and weird marketing language that's clearly not coming from Doctorow, it's like that Metal Gear 2 ending when the Colonel starts to speak in gibberish This was the alt text for one of the images, which I…
I find that bizarre. It's just a mailman instance. Did the bot send you a confirmation email? Did you try emailing me instead? A few times over the 15-ish years that I ran the list, Mailman has failed to honor unsub…
Exciting!
He really is a terrific writer. And Adam is tremendous; I just binge-listened to so much of the Factually back-catalog!
Thank you - even I don't always agree with me.

It was me - my browser lost its cookie! BTW, it looks like at least one version of the installer included a binary, though the creator says that's not true anymore, so you were (partially) right and I was (partially)…
This is simply untrue. The .NET file that Adobe served a DMCA512 notice on doesn't contain any of Adobe's copyrighted code. It's an unpacker and installer that users run on the software they download separately from…

Thank you!
Thanks, that's awfully kind of you. The third Little Brother book, Attack Surface, is out on Oct 12. We're recording the audiobook this week (fully remote - I'm in my garage, the director is in her house, and the actor,…
