Alex Feinman<p>When you see "increased efficiency", translate that to "increased fragility and parasitic load".</p><p>When you read about "redundancy", what they really mean is "resiliency".</p><p>The real world is bursty, uneven, inconsistent, error-prone, heterogeneous. It is not amenable to assembly lines. Efficiency predicated on eliminating those forms of waste cannot survive common system shocks.</p><p>And we're in a period of enormous system shock.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>governance</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/softwareDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>softwareDev</span></a></p>

Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin 🦊<p>The enemy of the tyrant is history. It shows that empires fall, and have fallen before -- and will fall again. It highlights the mistakes that the tyrant makes, and shows their results in stark and glaring light. And it provides hope to the people: here is where we were, here's how far we've come, and let us continue to make a better tomorrow.</p><p>So the tyrant seeks, at every opportunity, to rewrite and erase history to his whim, to pretend that there can be no better world than the one under his twisted, tiny hands.</p><p>If the tyrant seeks to <em>preserve</em> history, it is for him and him alone: others are not to be shown the past, only to take his word for it.</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/diking.bsky.social/post/3lsewnth4as2r" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/diking.bsky.s</span><span class="invisible">ocial/post/3lsewnth4as2r</span></a></p><p><a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>governance</span></a></p>
