This of the core of the problem. Github energy.

Fine for a hobby. Not good enough for a public-facing product.

It's owned by facebook, it's irrelevant.

It will, but it still has that countdown timer over its head.

The future is the fediverse, some yet-to-be-invented non-corporate equivalent, or offline.

The actual center, which never moves even as extremists come and go, would be a little to the right of Elizabeth Warren, though not by much.

If the internet has a future, it's on the Fediverse. We work around capitalism to avoid enshittification, or we let it defer our future further.

In the meantime, the Fediverse needs to get shiny and intuitive. The sign that something is cumbersome and hard to use is people saying "it's not that bad".

They were a mistake.

Take the week off, work for two days on the weekends.

Even if you'd get a vengeance kick out of it, the suffering won't produce the good results you want.

When the worst guy starts fighting a twice as worst guy, you have a relative good guy to root for.

This is dumb.

Some lost their ability to regulate from everybody else being critically stupid, some see everybody still being dumb about it and aren't gonna play such a transparently stupid game. Some got long covid, the worst outcome of all, the thing you wear a mask to stop.

Multiple causes.

Yeah in the old world where a little elbow grease was all you needed to afford a house, this would have been a coward's move and creepy as hell.

Now, it beats the pants off of most jobs. Which is all the evidence you need of how much of a failure society has become. This situation should be awful, but it's pretty nifty by comparison.

This is the breath of fresh air this dumb post made me need. Thank you.
