Has anyone else noticed how satire in Nordic countries is always a masterclass in Satire? I'm a fan of Norsemen, and this video fits right in. But I'm sad about enshittification

[the_wub@mastodon.social]

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic It was a good presentation from the Forbrukerrådet.

Norway is part of the European Economic Area and has access through this organisation to the EU Single Market. Most of the EU directives are implemented into Norwegian law (eventually).

The presentation, interview with Cory Doctorow and the panel discussion touched on what Norway can do as a small nation but also within the framework of the current data protection regulatory system that the EU provides.

@torstentorsten Remember monarchy?

Removing the right of villagers to hunt in the nearby forest? Enshittification. Just slower.

Turning former yeomen (free farmers) into serfs on their formerly self-owned land? Enshittification.

You don’t need capitalism to enshittify. You just need power over others.

@iquitsmoking @finnmyrstad @pluralistic Oh no worries. They'll start to charge you a monthly fee for it when you're more dependent.

@torstentorsten @finnmyrstad @pluralistic
The remit of the Forbrukerråd is to help Norwegian consumers with problems they experience when purchasing/leasing goods and services from companies.

Their remit does not extend to recommending one or another type of economic system.

With this video the Forbrukerråd has given (Norwegian) consumers a word to hang their frustrations on when they encounter yet another example of #enshittification in their digital lives.

Which is the point of this video.

For sure!
In my comment I was going for co-ops and similar organisations where the users have democratic co-determination, but tech workers' co-ops are certainly a vital and important part of the ecosystem.

To contribute to your list, here are links to some of the tech workers' co-ops I've had the pleasure of meeting and/or conversing with:

- @agaric, member of the international tech co-op federation @patio
- @tak
- @autonomic (also member of Patio)
- @Cloud68
- @interstitial_coop
- https://robur.coop
- https://doop.coop
- https://ogtall.no
- https://19.coop
- https://platformcoop.de
- https://digidemlab.org (and https://collective.tools)
- https://syndicats.co

and for an even wider list, there's https://tech-coops.xyz/

and finally, me and two other folks are in the process of starting a tech workers' co-op in Norway
