Dear @Mastodon

In no circumstance would I ever find it useful to have the entire body of a post selected when I click “Edit”, and then tap on the text to position the cursor, so that I need to then tap outside the selected area to deselect it, so that I can then tap again where I wanted the cursor in the first place.

Please have people test the functionality of your website prior to release.

Thinking today about the fact that here we are in 2025, three decades after #groupware was invented, and we still don’t have good, easy to use, inexpensive/free groupware.

Lack of good communications system is causing critical failures in the operation of public entities.

The problems I see in the operations of my town government and politics could be easily addressed with a good groupware system that accommodates both public and private asynchronous discussion with archivability.

Yesterday, @neo and me went to #BeitJala for a joint Palestinian / Jewish vigil for the #forcibly_involved children who keep getting killed in #gaza for reasons no one can explain (although many keep trying to invent reasons and believe in them).
It was refreshing to do this among people who know the truth and share our grief.
Thanks to #Combatantsforpeace for organizing this, and to all the people who joined us 💗

Trama e cast di Frankenstein, il film di del Toro in gara a Venezia 82

Il grande cineasta messicano presenta in Concorso alla Biennale la sua personale visione del celeberrimo romanzo gotico di Mary Shelley

^{Giulio Zoppello (Esquire)}

"Throughout the book, Doctorow uses an extended medical metaphor, naming his sections things like “The Pathology,” “The Epidemiology,” and finally “The Cure.” But remember, he identified the root cause of enshittification as the profit-seeking nature of corporations themselves, as corporations. By nature, they “would like to charge as much as possible for goods and services while spending as little as possible on… anything.” And as good as they are in a vacuum, none of the proposals in Enshittification would remove that root problem. Instead of a cure, what we get is a series of palliatives.

In the book’s conclusion, Doctorow writes that he’s “no true believer in markets as the best arbiter of how our society should work,” and that “like other leftists, I am deeply suspicious of capitalism.” Elsewhere, he’s written favorably about China Miéville’s commentary on the Communist Manifesto. But with that in mind, it’s strange that the solution he arrives at isn’t particularly anti-capitalist or anti-market. In a memorable metaphor, he describes tech CEOs as showing up to work every morning, “going directly to the giant ENSHITTIFICATION lever installed in the C-suite and yanking on it as hard as they can.” But, he says, “the difference is that the lever used to be stuck. It was gummed up by competition, by regulation, by interoperability [users’ ability to easily switch software], and by tech workers’ power and conscience.” By restoring all of those things, he hopes to re-gum the lever.

But this is a limited horizon to aim for. It promises restrained and regulated tech companies, perhaps chastened and better-behaved, but it does not challenge the idea that for-profit companies should be the ones making and maintaining the technology we all rely on. The question remains: why should we accept the existence of a malevolent CEO with an enshittification lever at all?"

Why the Internet is Turning to Shit

Cory Doctorow’s new book is an insightful diagnosis of how Big Tech is making every app and website worse—even if his solutions leave something to be desired.

Self-Titled Summer | Minor Threat (1984, US)

Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 609 on The List, submitted by markwyner. This album - a compilation of two 7"s and a couple other songs - is essentially an iconic piece of history. It not only strongly influenced the underground hardcore scene in Washington D.C. and beyond and gave the straight edge scene both its name and creed, but it also solidified Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson's Dischord Records as an indie label that could actually make its DIY, no bullshit ideals work.
