A new Marty Hench book is a-comin' from @pluralistic
@neiman right now, on the Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/picks-and-shovels-marty-hench-at-the-dawn-of-enshittification
@pluralistic If you ever make a proper website for martinhench.com, not just a redirect to kickstarter, I have a suggestion: a user-choosable stylesheet that shows the page either as a modern page (Red Team Blues), a MySpace, construction-gif version from the 2000s (The Bezzle) or a BBS-themed one (Picks and Shovels).
I can't wait for Picks & Shovels, the third Niven in the Marty Hench series by @pluralistic , to be released. This time we're revisiting the birth of personal computing, and as someone who grew up in the era of the TI-99/4A and Commodore PET, the nostalgia is strong!
Still 17 days to back it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/picks-and-shovels-marty-hench-at-the-dawn-of-enshittification
@pluralistic so get this... it seems my employer's "internet security proxy" has blocked martinhench.com as a threat. I'm certain this is a technical error in the automatic categorisation system (what with the books dealing with cybersecurity) and not a deliberate attempt at censoring an anti-enshittfiication message.
Yeah, that MUST be it.... right ?
Hell yeah. I'll back @pluralistic
