i think if we can expect what we get from kilns, from sewing machines, from bicycles, and apply that to the other things we depend on, we could be in a better place with our relationship to technology

In response to this postso much of the trauma of living in the modern world is about lack of agency, a death by a thousand cuts of the indignity of having our lives controlled by microsoft, by facebook, by google and apple
the thermocouple repair on my little evenheat kiln opened something in my brain. i already cared about right to repair but it made me imagine a structurally different and better relationship to technology

In response to this post@nora I still remember as a kid, one of our earlier TV came with schematics.

In response to this post@nora Right on. I think the corollary to this is the realization, for tech workers and users alike (ntm market analysts etc), that there is no separate destiny for digital tech that requires it to grow in unbounded exponential arcs of performance, influence or profitability — that there is good, honourable work to be done producing apps like we produce stereos and telescopes, which nobody thinks have to be revolutionary all the time. Without that story, #enshittification would wilt.
