This vid led me to his YT channel, which popped up this, which echoes very precisely everything @pluralistic has been reporting in #Enshittification et al:

@cavyherd That's an excellent video. Is there a follow-up on what we should do about it? Or do we just have to wait so long people suffer enough to start killing billionnaires and blowing up datacentres, forcing the arm of politicians to regulate and restore the protections and guardrails that are currently being eroded? @hollie @bennjordan @pluralistic

A good start would probably be reading @pluralistic 's book Enshittification. •Especially• if you are resident outside of the US. (He also has numerous talks out there on YT, if you're not up to reading the whole book.) I haven't read it personally (I've been following his blog for a few years, so I feel I'm reasonably up to speed?) but I gather he has some solid recommendations for actions to take.
Hiti
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
