In a worker coop workers generally want, appreciate, and hire managers for themselves. But there are power dynamic diffetences:

• The workers are the boss
• Managers do not get overinflated compensation packages
• A typical max income differential of lowest to highest paid is 1:10

Managers help organize and facilitate production, but it is the workers themselves who have to be pleased.

That’s not to say some worker coop couldn’t choose to do without the manager role. Maybe some exist like that.

Sounds like the bosses positions should be cut then.

And in a worker cooperative that’s exactly what would happen.

“Reverse centaur”

(According to Cory Doctorow, a ‘centaur’ is a human augmented by tech, and a ‘reverse centaur’ is a human who is a mere meaty appendage to a tech system)

Piracy is copyright infringement. That’s different from larceny.

In no world is piracy ever stealing.

Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, comes to the end of an extraordinary chapter in its scientific journey. Following its final physics run, the accelerator has been switched off to begin CERN’s Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), a major programme of maintenance, consolidation, upgrades and installation work that will prepare the Laboratory for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the next phase in the exploration of the fundamental laws of nature.

It’s getting an upgrade!

What a title.

Definitely you’d never say this during a jury selection process.

Look, I love the idea of a Linux phone.

But $500 and it manages my temptations for me? Fuck no.

The whole point of Linux is freedom.

Enough behavior shaping.
