Amin GirasolOn <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/InternationalWomensDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternationalWomensDay</a>, a boost for Myrna Moretti's excellent and accessible 2023 paper "Keeping up with Atari: Neoliberal Expectations in Early Electronics Advertising".Myrna analyses the famous Atari "Have You Played Atari Today?" US TV adverts of the 1970s and 1980s.<blockquote>AbstractDuring the early 1980s, ad campaigns framed purchasing and using emerging consumer electronics as tools for accessing, what Lauren Berlant called, ‘the good life.’ Computers, video games, VCRs, and cassette players might help consumers cultivate a neoliberal, upwardly mobile, and implicitly white, lifestyle. This paper explores early personal computer and home console video game advertisements as a cultural discourse that framed emerging technology through normative gendered, raced, and classed everyday lifestyles in an American context. The central case study is the early 1980s televisual ad campaign for the Atari 2600 system, featuring the “Have You Played Atari Today?” jingle. The campaign was widely viewed and is representative of contemporaneous marketing approaches. The ad’s allusion to time management both reinforced broader neoliberal paradigms and enacted a gendered slippage between labour and leisure. This paper draws from feminist critical theory approaches and uses textual analysis to understand the ways that electronic advertisements appealed to late capitalist social attitudes.</blockquote><a href="https://archive.org/details/keeping-up-with-atari" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/keeping-up-with-atari</a><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feminism</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SocialHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialHistory</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TechAndSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechAndSociety</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a>

Aral BalkanI wrote this five years ago:“Democracy or capitalism? Pick one.If, like me, you grew up in the 80s, you probably unthinkingly accepted the neoliberal maxim that democracy and capitalism go hand-in-hand. This is one of the greatest lies ever told. Democracy and capitalism are polar opposites.You cannot have a functional democracy and billionaires and trillion-dollar corporate interests and Silicon Valley’s Big Tech misinformation and exploitation machinery. What we’re seeing is the clash of capitalism and democracy and capitalism is winning.Are we past a tipping point? I don’t know. Perhaps. But we can’t think like that.Personally, I’m going to keep working to effect change where I feel I can be effective: in creating alternative technological infrastructure to support individual freedoms and democracy.We’ve already laid the infrastructure of techno-fascism. We’ve already created (and are creating) the panopticons. All the fascists need to do is move in and take the controls. And they will do so democratically, before destroying democracy, just as Hitler did.And if you think the 1930s and 40s were something, remember that the most advanced tools to amplify the destructive ideologies of the time were less powerful than the computers you have in your pockets today. Today we have machine learning and are on the brink of unlocking quantum computing.We must ensure the 2030s are not like the 1930s. Because our advanced centralised systems of data capture, classification, and prediction plus a hundred years of exponential increase in processing power (note: I do not use the word “progress”) mean the 2030s will be exponentially worse.Whoever you are, wherever you are, we have a common enemy: the nationalist international. The problems of our time transcend national borders. The solutions must also. The systems we build must be both local and global at once. The network we must build is one of solidarity.We created the present. We will create the future. Let’s work together to ensure that that future is the one we want to live in ourselves.”– In 2020 and beyond, the battle to save personhood and democracy requires a radical overhaul of mainstream technology<a href="https://ar.al/2020/01/01/in-2020-and-beyond-the-battle-to-save-personhood-and-democracy-requires-a-radical-overhaul-of-mainstream-technology/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ar.al/2020/01/01/in-2020-and-beyond-the-battle-to-save-personhood-and-democracy-requires-a-radical-overhaul-of-mainstream-technology/</a>And that’s why I’m working on building the Small Web.<a href="https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/</a>With ZERO funding from the EU and multiple rejections from NLNet/ngi (because they still don’t get it).<a href="https://ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-application-for-domain-rejected/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-application-for-domain-rejected/</a>(That’s from 2022.

It can be as technical or non-technical as you like and I won’t do it for free but I’m happy to accept, within reason, what they can afford (in addition to travel and accommodation being covered) and any fees received go to Small Technology Foundation, our not-for-profit.- Help share this far and wide.Once Domain is released and we have the first Small Web host running on small-web.org – hopefully the first of many that will be run by other folks in the future – and we start taking commercial sign-ups for Small Web places, we should eventually have the money problem solved (because apparently that’s a problem you have to solve to gain the privilege of working for the common good in our world because our system is unabashedly shortsighted).So, yeah, anyway, g’morning! How’s your day going so far? :)(You made it this far? You deserve a hug. And don’t worry, I’m just venting. Things will get better.

Sally Strange"Now that Trump has dealt a decisive deathblow to the post-Obama political system, it’s worth taking stock of where that moment went. Postmortems on Bidenomics have tended to focus on climate provisions, rising protectionism in trade, and the macroeconomics of stimulus and inflation. The limits of the administration’s “industrial policy,” touted as marking a “post-neoliberal” paradigm shift, have been extensively documented; it was always a national security program first—an ill-conceived reaction to fears of a rising China—and a pro-worker agenda second, if at all. The bigger, less talked-about picture is the long arc of ten years of failure to confront inequality after the Piketty moment in 2014. Across four key policy areas—taxation, labor standards, the welfare state, and antitrust—Democrats could have pursued a comprehensive program for combating plutocracy and empowering workers. But the opportunity was frittered away through a relentless focus on playing by the old rules of policy debate and routing reform through the usual elite channels, insulated from—and often outright hostile to—the voices and views of on-the-ground constituencies. All that came at the cost of forging a durable political coalition."<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-real-post-neoliberal-agenda/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-real-post-neoliberal-agenda/</a>
