Inside the cloud:
Yesterday I was talking with a member of the tech staff of my University. He told me that the introduction of Microsoft Cloud was met with substantial resistance from tech staff, delaying it for 8 years. And that it was expected that the cloud will reduce staff, but now they find out it is the opposite: so they lay off Linux people and hire Microsoft people instead. Under the banner of security.
And then he was handing me over an unmanaged device.

Today with @karl and @jxxx, Pickets in the Cloud at #hangar!

The big tech cloud is not simply other’s computers. It consolidates a software paradigm that relies on the restriction of the relationality of and with software to the status of a “service”, with a scalable computational infrastructure and many smartphones, in addition to the political economy of Big Tech companies based on the stock exchange listing.

Profits from the big tech cloud are rooted in dispossession based on the extraction of energy, minerals and, especially, racialised labour, deepening bonds of dependency with deeply plundering, exploitative and exclusionary logi(sti)cs.

The infrastructures of care and maintenance are issues raised by the historical feminist care strikes, and these issues apply powerfully to technological infrastructures as well. In this session we will make an active call, from the transnational coordination of the Trans*feminist Digital Depletion Strike to the mobilization for the next 8M:
