Interesting podcast : Digital Serfs
by Glenn McKnight May 17, 2024

May 17, 2024

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/lately/article-how-we-became-digit… Maverick economist Varoufakis argues that we’re all serfs now, paying rents to the big tech “cloudalists” (or cloud capitalists). He talks about why we don’t actually own the music and movies we buy online, what Don Draper knew about behaviour modification, and how a Star Trek future could save us, and democracy. Yanis Varoufakis is the former finance Minister of Greece. His latest book is Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism. <https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/751443/technofeudalism-by-yanis-va…> Glenn McKnight, MA Virtual School of Internet Governance Chief Information Officer www.virtualsig.org *YOUR SOURCE FOR INTERNET GOVERNANCE EDUCATION * *Mobile 437-237-4655*

Announcement of the Mozilla Foundation change in leadership, this follows with the decision by ISOC to change their leadership as well. G Glenn McKnight, MA Virtual School of Internet Governance Chief Information Officer www.virtualsig.org *YOUR SOURCE FOR INTERNET GOVERNANCE EDUCATION * *Mobile 437-237-4655* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mozilla <mozilla(a)eml.mozilla.org> Date: Fri, 17 May 2024 at 06:28 Subject: We are proud to announce Nabiha Syed as the new Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation To: Glenn McKNight <mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com> A new chapter for the Mozilla Foundation. ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ [image: Mozilla] <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-r/> [image: ❤️ Mozilla ❤️] <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-y/> Donate <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-d/> Hello Glenn, As a member of our MozFest community, I wanted to share an important and exciting announcement with you: *Nabiha Syed will join the Mozilla Foundation as our next Executive Director.* Nabiha is a media executive, a lawyer and a champion of public interest technology. She has an exceptional understanding of how technology, humanity and broader society intersect – and how to engage with the complicated challenges and opportunities at that intersection. Before joining the Mozilla Foundation, Nabiha was CEO of The Markup – an award-winning publication that challenges technology to serve the public good. Under her leadership, The Markup drove U.S. Congressional debates, inspired watershed litigation, and won multiple prestigious awards. Prior to this, Nabiha was a highly acclaimed media lawyer. *Nabiha will make Mozilla a stronger, bigger, and more impactful organisation, at a time when the internet needs it most. *We are at a critical juncture, as technology companies, civil society and government race to keep up with the rapid pace of AI innovation. Under Nabiha’s ambitious leadership, she will carry forward the collective power of the Mozilla community to help steer society away from the real risks and towards the benefits of trustworthy AI. Nabiha will be in touch soon to share more about her vision for the Mozilla Foundation – but in the meantime, I want to share a *short message* <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-b/> from her on why she’s taking on this role: *“The through-line of my career has been grappling with how technology can uplift or stifle human agency. After all, the technology we have now was once just someone’s imagination. We can dream, build, and demand technology that serves all of us, not just the powerful few. Mozilla is the perfect place to make that happen.”* [image: Nabiha Syed] *– Nabiha Syed* Incoming Executive Director, Mozilla Foundation Please join me in warmly welcoming Nabiha Syed as the incoming Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation. Nabiha will lead Mozilla’s advocacy and philanthropy programs to serve the public interest. *We are thrilled to have her join the Mozilla Foundation, working alongside the millions of us across the world who are also reimagining our digital future to reclaim the internet.* Thank you for being a part of this powerful community, and for everything you do for the internet. *Mark Surman *President Mozilla Mozilla is building a movement to reclaim the internet. Together we can build a future where our privacy is protected, where AI is trustworthy, and where irresponsible tech companies are held accountable. But that is only possible if we do it together. *We’re proudly non-profit.* *Will you donate to Mozilla today? <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-a/>* * Chip in now * <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-f/> Connect with us [image: X] <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-yk/> [image: YouTube] <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-yu/> [image: Instagram] <https://links.mozilla.org/t/y-l-motutd-dikutubhj-jl/> Thanks for reading!

Ways libraries can help push back against what he calls enshittifiction of the internet or might be termed "Battle of the Bezzle." *So what can libraries do against such a powerful force? Tune in to find out!* The Bezzle, being the title of his latest novel. He's current;y on book tour but has taken time out to speak with us about how libraries can play an active role in pushing back on what he sees and an insidious trend enabled by misuse of the internet. *The Bezzle, *Cory Doctorow (Tor 978-1250865878, $27.99, hc, 240pp <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…>) February 2024. Cory Doctorow: No One Is the Enshittifier of Their Own Story <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> May 6, 2024 "No one was more surprised than I was when the American Dialect Society named ‘‘enshittification’’ – my dirty little coinage to describe how everything on the internet is (suddenly, simultaneously) getting (much) worse – to be its Word of the Year. But though the news was a surprise, it was a very pleasant one. My early writings on enshittification focused on its *symptoms*, the way platforms decay. The progression of the disease looks like this: First, companies are good to their users. Once users are lured in and have been locked down, companies maltreat those users in order to shift value to business customers, the people who pay the platform’s bills. Once those business users are locked in, the platform starts to turn the screws on them, too – extracting more and more of the value generated by end-users and business customers until all that remains in the meanest residue, the least amount of value that can keep everyone locked into the platform." *Additional reading:* "Why the Bezzle Matters to the Economy" <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> - Carnegie Endowment "The Big Idea: Cory Doctorow <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> " *Registration is OPEN <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…>* Thursday, May 16, 2024 11am ET/ 1700 UTC [image: Twitter] <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> [image: Facebook] <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> [image: Website] <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03…> *Copyright © 2024 Gigabit Libraries Network, All rights reserved.* You are receiving this email because you opted in via our website. *Our mailing address is:* Gigabit Libraries Network PO Box 2350 Sausalito, CA 94966-2350 Add us to your address book <https://giglibraries.us4.list-manage.com/vcard?u=6dc7f62bf2785cc68a03a6c8d&…> Want to change how you receive these emails?
