RE: https://post.lurk.org/@shibacomputer/116212328257230121 Practically every paragraph of this could be its own essay. It is so good and worth the time. "Each infrastructure began with promises of liberation and human triumph. But stability calcifies into compliance through legal policy, economic incentives, consolidation and embedded technical defaults. The core of Cyberspace’s calcification is the filesystem: The moment you store a representation of something or someone on a disk, you have already done something other than create memory. You have inherited its future risk, its potential criminality, and its coming reinterpretation under laws not yet written – or laws not yet abused."
