How are you contributing to that?

I think it's time for you to be introduced to the concept of "cognitive work". We have been doing that for a few thousand years now.

open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that's true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.

Until it starts using its power to decide what technology and contracts are taken by the company. That's the endgame of the tech labor movement and the labor movement in a lot of industries that deal with ugly stuff.

Also there's no ethical production under capitalism.

By working for a company and thus make them dependent on your labor (to some degree) you have power. By not working for that company, you have no power.

There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don't bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won't change much within meta.

I organize tech workers. The expectation that they are going to fight an uphill battle inhibits a lot of them and often it's not the scenario they are faced with. Tech workers being skeptical of the possibility of unionizing their workplace is a mind virus that needs to be eradicated for anything to happen. If then they find hostility, there are endless means to win over their colleagues, but if you discourage them before even starting, nothing will ever change.

If people stopped repeating this stuff, it would help

It looks like cringe amateur stuff from the inside too, don't worry

yeah and it does harm. Any technology amputated a part of us. The point is deciding if it's worth the cost.

if you want to know more about TWC: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

No, it's global. There are two timeslots to better accommodate the broadest possible crowd. TWC is mostly active in the USA and Europe atm, because the Indian chapter basically merged with the local IT union and stopped operating as TWC.

The event is organized by the TWC Global chapter, which is the "digital" chapter that supports the local chapters throughout the world.

fixed them, thank you

It's hand-written and it's a famous blog about techno-magic. Also it's very explicitly against new age, that's the whole point of the article.

yeah, it was a hypothetical, that didn't happen for very specific reasons.

Look, I'm Italian, I live in Germany and the resurgence of nazi-fascism in these two countries is not due exclusively to the fact they didn't purge nazi and fascist supporters back then, but it's still a very big factor. They never went away, they just went into hide, learn to disguise themselves and came back as soon as the conditions were good. People who were raised fascist in their families and inherited their money, values and goals. There's a line connecting them and it's clear now we would all be better off if after the liberation, the Americans or the Soviets went on to purge entirely those structures of power, instead of trying to integrate them in a democratic society.

I don't think the State of Judea can be ever reintegrated into Israel, let alone in a democracy. They are past any chance for rehabilitation, being in a self-destructive genocidal frenzy that even Netanyahu probably won't be able to stop.

because a media outlet goes where there are viewers. They write to be read, so there's little benefit in going on platforms where there's nobody.

They have fascists in power and they still care about language. Also missing the whole context since they clearly didn't read the article.

well, it's full of nazi furries

yes. That's how Mussolini and Hitler got into power.

What's happening is wildly inconstitutional and violent in nature. It's just not military violence for a military coup. Not all coups involve the military, that, if anything, here might be a stabilizing force.
