I have become such a fan of the Norwegian Consumer Council recently. They don't just do these cool vids, the reports are actually really detailed and insightful and oddly strongly written (for a gov't agency, particularly in Norway). Also not fatalist at all www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

Breaking Free
In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

Karl Popper agrees: "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." (The Open Society and its Enemies)

1/ Jag är just nu delaktig i ett projekt för att ta fram ett relativt billigt system för detektion och bekämpning av FPV-drönare som ska kunna användas för att skydda bakre positioner, logistikfordon och markdrönare. Nätburar, REB och lätt pansar räcker inte längre som skydd som ni ser på bilden.

A shame that not all Austians know their Karl Popper (although he moved to England). His paradoxes, of tolerance and of freedom, ought to be known by everyone living in an open society.

The paradox of freedom: "the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any restraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek" [Karl Popper, The Open Society and its Enemies]

Unfortunately, Biden (and the UK) didn't fulfil that agreement either. Had he, UK and EU done more—instead of shitting their pants every time Poo-tin said "red line"—then this war could have ended fairly quickly. Then Trump wouldn't have had a chance to exacerbate it.

... and kidnapping, destroying cultural heritage (even if it's on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritag), looting, mistreating and starving (in addition to torturing & murdering) prioners of war, and more? And all of this on uncountable occasions. But you can't blame 1 when 2 fight, can you?

Russia deliberately targets civilians. Ukraine doesn't. This kind of "balancing" made me—and many others—leave Amnesty Interntional. They also fell for the "takes 2 to tango-syndrome". Some Ukr soldiers had been too close to cilvilians. Amnesty label: war crime. Equal to rape, murder, torture?

When you write "Who cares what an america person thinks", then you missed that this was a blind person (woman) with international experience of plugs. So, I think I'm entitled to ask: Should we listen to blind people? People with arthritis? Old people? (ok though, this was only ONE voice)

Yes, who cares about functional variability!? Let's build everything for young people of average length with average strength. Why bother about blindness or arthritis? Why bother about people of age or in a wheelchair?

Homo sapiens is certainly responsible for a number of environmental misdeeds even before mid 19th century – extinct species and deforestation ... and a little CO2. Neverhteless, the global temp was relatively stable for 7000+ yrs, until we started with (steam engine) chemtrails ...

That makes the "chemtrail theory" consistent with the fact that the start of global warming can be related to the industrial revolution.

Indeed, Amnesty used a microscope to find something to "balance" the early reports of Russian war crimes. Ukrainian military had stayed too close to civilians according. Amnesty thought that could balance murder, torture, rape, kidnapping. Because of that, me & lots of other people left Amnesty.
