Mit Begeisterung lese ich gegewärtig das neue Buch von Cory Doctorow „Enshittification“ – Wie Tech-Konzerne uns ausbeuten und was wir dagegen tun können.

Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) erklärt laiengerecht, warum Online-Dienste immer schlechter und teurer wurden u. werden. Auch Tipps wie das Prekäriat der Geek-Economy, sich erfolgreich gegen die grassierenden Boss-Ware wehrt, kann man dem Text entnehmen.

Bisher las ich die Hälfte der 477 Seiten; ich empfehlen das Buch #Enshittification #BigData

“That means that Palantir #software can only be used to process data precisely in line with the instruction of the #customer. Using the data for anything else would not only be illegal but technically impossible due to granular access controls overseen by the NHS.”

"technically impossible" - #lol 😭
