The core argument he makes is that the modes of exploitation are still capitalist at its core and what we have right now is just another form of it. The techno-feudal framing can be used to draw certain analogies between the past and the present, but that would risk both simplifying and masking the root causes of these processes.

I never knew about her - thank you for posting. The intersection of art and computers has always fascinated me. And clearly she was a pioneer in this field.
Exactly this. Rusty has to pay ASCAP, BMI, GMR, & SESAC licensing fees. Oh, and SF rent and taxes on an office in the Mission district. I’d hope he also pays himself a good salary.
I dislike them myself and actually tried looking for one but the only alternative I found was scribd, which would require a login to download (even more annoying).

Good advice. I was bitten by a tick three summers ago and received my antibiotics a little too late.
