Tech-Revolution in Jugoslawien? Wie Computer-DIY-Kulturen im “Kommunismus” entstanden.
In diesem Text werde ich versuchen, die Computertechnik im Jugoslawien der 1980er Jahre zu entschlüsseln, insbesondere in der Form, wie sie von der einflussreichen Zeitschrift Racunari geprägt wurde. Dabei werde ich untersuchen, wie sich der Computerdiskurs mit einer geopolitischen und wirtschaftlichen Perspektive vermischte.

The Ministry for the Blockchain.
As blockchain continues to see a swell of investment and a migration of very smart people, we are seeing the tokenization of everything. But how much of human life has a legitimate market price on it? And is our assumption that we need a market price to show value just an imprint in our brains from runaway capitalism?
Behold the elegant sights and powerful sound of a mechanical foghorn in Shetland awaking from its year-long slumber.

The Web3 Fraud.
(…) the cryptocurrency space, at heart, is simply a giant ponzi scheme where the only way early participants make money is if there are further suckers entering the space. The only “utility” for a cryptocurrency (outside criminal transactions and financial frauds) is what someone else will pay for it and anything to pretend a possible real-word utility exists to help find new suckers.
What If Phones Were Actually Designed for Hands ?
Think about seatbelts again for a moment: That it took so long to get the buying public to accept them — they were poorly-selling add-on features for many years while road fatalities only increased — is indicative of our tendency to take a hindsight position on technological evaluation and an additive approach to optimization. Somehow, we didn’t anticipate that we’d need protection while moving in machines far faster and heavier than horses — OK, an interesting miss at best — but when we finally acknowledged the obvious dangers, our solution was a minimally-viable one: straps and buckles, not slower or softer machines. Similarly, things like cases and back-mounted grips describe the culture of phones better than the phones themselves.
