thinking about how "communism is when no iphone" implies that iphone is at all the most desirable possible form factor or power structure for all the things it does, when the reality is that we could do far better under better social systems,
we could have better more equitable less wasteful means of creation and communication that aren't a rectangle thats bad for your hands to hold reliant on centralized surveillance systems and ewaste
"communism is when no iphone" "and thats a good thing"

Whatever we know about how the government's and corporations' ability to spy on us comes from only occasional leaks from folks like Snowden and Assange, and is already out of date by the time us plebes hear about it. Switching to Signal doesn't matter if someone can just watch your screen or see what you're typing from afar, or listen in on you. I hope folks start building community during this time, because individual tech choices are not going to save us.
@tan I have a long ongoing thread on long covid here:
[14/]
"'If #Covid was really as disabling as you say, don’t you think the government would be doing more to stop it?' Here’s the thing: for all the ways folks love to judge China for it’s zero-Covid strategies, have any of you stopped for one minute to ask WHY they are doing that?"
"China has seen the same data […] recognizing what that means for the workforce, the economy, healthcare systems, etc."
"China is doing everything […] to avoid a mass disabling event."
