This week on my podcast, I read Why I don’t like AI art, a column from last week’s Pluralistic newsletter: Which brings me to art.

It used to be that if a com­pany figured out how to block copying its floppies, another company – or... <a href="https://craphound.com/novels/redteamblues/2025/03/23/there-were-always-enshittifiers/" class...

This week on my podcast, I read MLMs are the mirror-world version of community organizing, a recent post from my Pluralistic newsletter. MLMs prey on the poor and desperate: women, people of color, people in dying small towns and decaying rustbelt cities. It’s not just that these people are desperate – it’s that they only... <a href="https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/02/09/mlms-are-the-mirror-world-version...

This week on my podcast, I read Canada shouldn’t retaliate with US tariffs, a recent post from my Pluralistic newsletter. But you know what Canada could make? A Canadian App Store. That’s a store that Canadian software authors could use to sell Canadian apps to Canadian customers, charging, say, the standard payment processing fee of... <a href="https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/02/02/canada-shouldnt-retal...

This week on my podcast, I’m reading “Enshittification isn’t caused by venture capital,” the latest post from my Pluralistic.net blog. It’s about the new “Free Our Feeds” project and why I think the existence of Mastodon doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention to making Bluesky as free as possible. When tech critics fail to ask... <a href="https://craphound.com/overcloc...
