| schestowitz__[TR] | draft, superseded but archiived herein: | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | " | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The words of others | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Being dyed-in-the-wool anti-mimetic (or rather an adherent of a slightly odder philosophy, a delight in Missing Out Phillips13), I am sometimes too reluctant to adopt perfectly good terms coined by others. This year I've seen that an ease of conversation comes from common, albeit imperfect, words that carry more 'currency'. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | So I've worked on building a wider vocabulary around tech-rights, reading more of other people's takes on technology, incorporating (and synthesising) their imagery. Orwell and Nietzsche were only partly right in censuring 'tired metaphors'. I see authors get complex ideas across to a wider audience not with novel frames or striking metaphors, but by reusing that which already has meaning. Books and articles in the mainstream press serve as | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | common talking points to make it easier for technical people like myself to strike up friendly chats about software freedom and digital rights without putting people off. So I politely passed over one suggestion that I avoid using the term "Big Tech". It may well be a deflective construction of Microsoft, but when it comes to utility we can use our enemies words too. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | This year I have enjoyed, amongst others, Wendy Liu's Abolish Silicon Valley Liu20, Sophie Brickman's Baby Unplugged Brickman21, Cory Doctorow's How to destroy surveillance capitalism Doctorow20, Thomas Kersting's Disconnected: Protect Your Kids Against Device Dependency Kersting20, Nicholas Kardaras's Glow Kids Kardaras16, Carissa Véliz's Privacy is Power: Why You Should Take Back Control Veliz21, Jenny Oddell's How to Do Nothing: Resisting | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | the Attention Economy Odell20, and Gerry McGovern's World Wide Waste McGovern20. Each offers another piece of the jigsaw of tech-rights. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Reading more widely (within what appears a narrow genre) I see many threads to tech-rights. To me, being a Digital Vegan means taking a wide view that tries to include diverse and even contradictory stances. Some people will be passionate about single issues like the plight of child workers in smartphone manufacture. Those same people may be indifferent or oblivious to neighbouring matters like the energy costs of cloud data-centres, and | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | oppositional on some subjects - like perhaps they think that government backdoors really might stop terrorism and child sexual abuse. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Wired into politics is a tension that - while openness and tolerance are required - different word meanings impede conversation. Even after forty years we haven't dissuaded the mainstream press from abusing words like "piracy". Today crypto is in danger of being deflated into a term that distorts the value of secure communication by mixing it up with greedy pyramid schemes. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | So, seeing more nuance in tech rights, beyond Software Freedom and concerns that have absorbed me for decades, I've started to question the centrality of "Software Freedom" as expressed through the mainly US-American GNU philosophy. Through enjoyable, but long and sometimes testing conversations with prominent FSF and EFF authors, I've tried to advocate that notions of "Free" might be expanded. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | To me, tech diversity is a first class social issue, up there alongside race, gender and even religion. It's connection to resilience is an existential issue, and I beleive we need to completely re-imagine concepts of "national security" (civic security) and "digital literacy" far beyond the ossified 'cold-war' statues we keep in the corner. | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | In raising these points I've noticed how much the lines are drawn between, as it were, The Judean People's Front and The Peoples' Front of Judea (splitters). There are divisive issues in tech-rights that keep us fighting amongst ourselves, spiralling down a technological race to the bottom, while Microsoft and Google laugh all the way to the bank. There is room for more unity and communication within the tech-rights field and far more | Dec 30 13:36 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | coordination against Big-Tech. A stronger, common vocabulary can help us. | Dec 30 13:36 |
