📪In cities and towns across the country, thousands of members of the National Association of Letter Carriers rallied this weekend to say HELL NO to Trump’s plans to privatize the United States Postal Service! Privatization will not solve the issues that working class people experience with USPS. It’ll only put more money in the pockets of billionaire companies and their CEOs, while worsening the problems the majority of us face!

PATRIARCHY, CAPITALISM, MISOGYNY

I don't know who Kate Nash is. Apparently, she is a British female singer.

But what I do know, because I just read about it in an article, is that Kate Nash, and others like her, can make more money more quickly by creating an OnlyFans and showing their ass than they can by being musicians.

And that's patriarchal capitalism for you. A woman's body is more profitable than her art.

#Generative #AI is replacing the #digitaljobs Venezuelans rely on

Basically, AI is eating up...AI, and all the most vulnerable people on whose work it has relied on for years to function. And mind you, these are highly educated people. The #gigeconomy is naturally the first to fall to #automatization. But, of course, content creators, coders, administration workers, etc. will be next in the new #techbro #technofascist #neoliberalism and #capitalism.

Rest of World · Venezuelan migrants relied on clickwork to survive. Now AI is replacing them Venezuela has long provided the tech industry with cheap, educated workers. But with the rise of generative AI, jobs have become less lucrative and harder to find.

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: Moving beyond the clouds (we need an ethical approach to design)

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

“Water companies’ pollution incidents in England increased by 30% in 2024. … shareholders were paid £1.2bn in 2023-24 despite the record number of hours raw sewage was discharged into England’s waters.” Who cares about a little shit? Hike those prices. We need more and more lovely profits and bonuses! #Water #Capitalism
