The @CACMmag has just published my editorial, "Competitive Compatibility: Let's Fix the Internet, Not the Tech Giants," explaining how interoperability was once an engine for competition and user empowerment - and how that ended.

As the title suggests, regulators are fed up with Big Tech's abuses, but they're not sure what to do about it. One approach is to "fix the companies" - like forcing Facebook to fight "disinformation" or making Google filter all user content for suspected copyright violations.

2/
The problem with this approach is that it's not clear whether the tech companies CAN solve these problems (for example, no copyright filter can distinguish between permitted uses like parody or commentary and infringing ones).

Writing in @WIRED, @ilsr researcher and anti-monopolist @ronmknox gives a thorough, important account of how music industry monoplization resulted declining revenue for artists, even as the industry itself has reaped greater profits.

Importantly, Knox describes how concentration has come to every link in music's supply chain, from radio to recording, streaming to live performance. The monopolists who dominate these sectors fight fiercely between each other, but no matter who wins, artists lose.

In "The Halloween Moon," @NightValeRadio co-creator @PlanetofFinks brings his superb, unmatchable gift for balancing the weird and the real to a spooky middle-grades novel that echoes such classics as @neilhimself's Coraline.

If you're a stranger to Fink's work, the thing you need to know is that Nightvale and his other projects manage to walk the tightrope between weird, creepypasta-style humor and real pathos, in a gloriously disorienting, reeling storytelling style.

The Halloween Moon tells the sale of Esther Gold, a 13 year old who loves Halloween more than anything, and organizes her whole year around it. But this year, her parents have decreed that she is too old for trick-or-treating, a transition she is absolutely unwilling to make.

CORRECTION: Yesterday's edition erroneously described the Framework laptop as the first system to receive a 10/10 from Ifixit. A few other laptops have received this rating. I regret the error.

Gig workers around the globe: One disease, many pathologies.
