Det här är nog rätt bra att veta!

Inte att en viss youtuber får mer följare utan hur hela branschen läser av och lär sig hur vi reagerar för att maximera intäkter. Det vill säga Surveillance capitalism. Om du inte vet vad andra kan läsa ut från ditt beteende äger du inte kontroll över hur du påverkas.
Lägger du på ytterligare ett lager av automation och ai på det här så ... Mumma för mammon.

#UK owners of smart home devices being asked for swathes of #PersonalData | #Privacy | The Guardian

I don’t know whether people know how much their rights are eroded by selling their privacy for convenience. Of course that’s the case everywhere.

Is anyone surprised? This is Google, after all.

I only use Chrome when testing websites that I've built myself.

"They Cloned Tyrone" on Netflix is sooooo much better than it needed to be. Juel Taylor used #blaxploitation tropes perfectly and hilariously and depressingly to launch an immanent critique of #BigTech and #SurveillanceCapitalism and #MassMedia #minstrelsy from an African American epistemology. So many bits and pieces of urban folklore and deep cultural references and so much heart and mind.

Spent my Sunday working on an upcoming #music release: "Dead Internet"!

It's my first #vaporwave track, out on Oct 13th, inspired by the mellow sounds used in 90's software like #Windows95.

Much like how vaporwave can be seen as a satirical take on consumer capitalism, "Dead Internet" is my satirical take on modern #SurveillanceCapitalism on the web, with lots of annoying #PopUps, bots, and the theory the web is "dead" with most online traffic being bot and AI-generated.

Feedback appreciated!

So FairPhone are launching the 5th version of their #phone and right there on the page (which I won’t link to):

“All of your favorite #Google #Apps will be right there with you.”

Nothing like a good bit of fair #trade, environmentally-friendly #surveillance #capitalism, eh?

(I spoke with them when they were just starting out. […] They fully understand what #SurveillanceCapitalism is. This is not an oversight; it’s strategy.)

How Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, and Andreessen—Four Billionaire Techno-Oligarchs—Are Creating an Alternate, Autocratic Reality | Vanity Fair https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/08/musk-thiel-zuckerberg-andreessen-alternate-autocratic-reality

I remember how Chomsky/Herman used to display media corporations for what they are, and of course this is expected.

From the article:

'It could be argued that the transhumanists who are building the Metaverse, generative AI, and life-extension technologies apparently don’t care if you achieve any of these goals. If your friends are other avatars whose real identities are cloaked, you don’t have the company of good friends. If you sit home all day wearing your VR helmet (because your job has been assumed by an AI), subsisting on government universal basic income payments, you have neither freedom nor the autonomy to enjoy meaningful work. If much of what you do is based on a virtual fantasy existence, you certainly don’t have an examined life. You will have become a cyborg at the end of reality.'

Sorry Aral, .... But the general public expects an Android phone to act like an "Android phone".

There is a version with e/os being sold somewhere else. Because Fairphone did work with e/os for the fp4 at some point iirc. So there are options.

But the average consumer just wants regular Android

They have an official partnership with eos:

Amazon CEO reportedly told remote employees: It’s probably not going to work out https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/28/23849754/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-remote-employees-return-to-office

'Not work out for you' means that workers are forced to 'voluntarily resign'.

If your employer thinks 'voluntary' on your owm part means something against your will, it's an indicator of the employer's worth; leave them now, if you can.

Remember, Amazon are nefarious far beyond this. They build concentration camps (ICE), spend millions of USD/month on anti-union tactics, and cause the highest per-person number of workplace injuries in the USA.

@autiomaa Correction: Google never was a librarian. To say otherwise is hugely offensive to actual librarians and libraries everywhere.

Google is, and has always been, a venture capital funded surveillance capitalist.

Hey, thanks to you and a billion other people whose work we’ve scraped and used for free, we now have a billion dollar company.

Ah, that’s great, so I guess we can scrape your work too and use it for free?

Fuck no! What are you, a communist?
