🧵Since @unity is becoming the worst digital landlord, developers could form something like a tenants' union, and jointly put forward demands like:
- no per-install fees
- no retroactive terms of service
- no secret tracking
- competitive revenue share
- CEO Riccitiello must go

It is such a deep pleasure to be in the same room at the @internetarchive for the book launch of THE APPLE II AGE with this amazing group of interlocutors: @Sierra_OffLine, Finn Brunton, and @textfiles
@Sierra_OffLine begins their book talk on The Apple II Age : How the Internet Became Personal with how important the @internetarchive has been for historical research when they were writing during COVID

@Sierra_OffLine’s interlocutor, Finn Brunton, urges everyone to READ THE FOOTNOTES and I couldn’t agree more
I forgot to mention that I think I heard @sierra_offline compare Jason Scott (@textfiles)’s essential work as a computer historian at the Internet Archive to the pigeon master (?) at the Library of Alexandria. A bit ominous but sounds right 🐥
