Here's a topic I don't think is being addressed. That really should be causing absolute outrage and alarm.
We know that Elon Musk with some Palantir foot soldiers have sacked gov databases, and are working to bind government function to their control.
It is not sufficient to kick these people out. Everything they've done needs to be ripped out or seized.
Technology as the alternative to politics is underway.

This is of course why they're taking steps to eliminate the old. Magnetic tapes come to mind - used for so many decades because they work. Eliminating not just the tapes, but the infrastructure used to support them as a viable storage and backup mechanism, makes it impossible, or at least infinitely harder, to roll back to a workable state that's not filled with as much crap, cruft, backdoors and timebombs as they could stuff in.

Manufacturers are not interested in the old at all, but it doesn't make any money for them.

Thinking about how the centrists mocked us when we started calling them the Red Tories.
Thinking about that, and laughing hysterically as "Labour" demolish thirty years of trans rights, embrace austerity for the poor, tell disabled people to get a job or die, steal money from pensioners, criminalise peaceful protest, and reject the EU in favour of wanting to become a vassal of Fascist USA.
The centrists were right, I suppose. They're not Red Tories. They're Red Far Right

meanwhile me in old (idk early 2000s?) construction mini-van my dad borrows from my uncle:
press one button with the bluetooth logo, the device shows up on my phone, pair with the password displaying on the 7-segment display
we devolved so far with car dashboard because stupid people thought a huge tablet glued to your car was better
the "solution" I have found to the related problem of "my spouse and I share a car, which attempts to auto-connect to the last Bluetooth device used unless started with a USB-connected phone" is "always remember to turn off Bluetooth on my phone when I leave the car" (a USB-connected Android Auto device will turn Bluetooth on by itself). If I forget to plug in my phone when I'm driving, or forget to turn off Bluetooth when I'm not driving (because it will reach the driveway from the living room), the fallback is "drive down the block until out of range, park, plug in the phone, and turn the whole car off and on again"β¦

My local funeral home changed its web hosting platform for a corporate funeral industry stock hosting platform, and it doesn't have an #RSS feed because corporate funeral home service industry provider wants you to visit the website to hawk its merchandisingβflowers, caskets, trinkets, hardcopy guest books, etc, all the things they get a commission on.
I read the whitepaper for sales and marketing from the big corporate funeral service provider that says just that. It read that merchandising makes up 60% of the profit that a funeral home gets on an annual basis.
RSS kept me in the loop. I still visited the obits and left condolences and saw their merchandise.

Our society is structured so people need money to meet our basic needs, but much of the work it needs done it won't pay for. So a lot of people do unpaid work and make use of a welfare benefit to survive. Why the hell should beneficiaries feel ashamed about that?
