So excited to hear you talk to Cory! One of the smartest hackers and SF writers hanging around online. His novels Little Brother and Homeland filled me with hacker H.O.P.E. Looking forward to listening!

This is awesome news! Love Jared's work on YouTube, a totally natural fit for the audience you've fostered here.

What a great idea...my favorite substack author and my favorite novel/nonfic author, together.

We can do something about this. Move to better platforms, stop being lazy, and ultimately support open source infrastructure that minimizes platform capture.

Cory has done a lot of good yet his response to “what can people do” is utter nonsense. There are loads of people trying to build better. Go find them, highlight them, and try their tools.

This is a common thread as a commenter here. Ted does a great job flagging problems and a miserable job providing instructions on what can be done. He never responds so I might as well be a paid subscriber screaming into the abyss.

Thank you for having transcript available in post as I much prefer to read instead of audio/video.

Great to finally ‘see’ you Ted. Your brother has been invited to be a juror at the 2026 Raindance Film Festival in London

Loving your content (god how I hate the phrase ‘content creator’)

I'm a big Cory Doctorow fan! I have my copy of Enshittification and am looking forward to digging into it this weekend.

Are interviews going to be available as audio podcasts at some point?

That’s the plan. We need to handle a few logistical things on the back end first, but it will be done.

“We don’t have to, we don’t care, we’re the phone company” is a perfect encapsulation of the state of Google (and similar monopolies)
