Then, they die.\n\nThe most hopeful part is „Then, they die“. Because it points towards a\nconfiguration of social infrastructures beyond the one we know and hate.\nTo help imagine this “beyond”, we can look at projects and their\ninfrastructures that never entered this process in the first place.\n", "path": "shard/enshittification.md", "relpermalink": "/shard/enshittification/" } |
