Why cares where the Sun is? The only reason we need time is to coordinate with each other. It doesn't matter what the time is, so long as everyone can see what it is at any moment.

So, there's an artificial constraint that prevents me from profiting from the information that happens to be in my head, the information that I helped to contribute to with my own hard work?

But I can use all that information to help the shareholders profit, including the CEO, and the board of directors who themselves probable put this rule into place.

So, it's work really hard for me but stay poor so I can control you.

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I think it's different if it's accurate and not just a bunch of lies and hate. A little hate is fine though.

Sometimes you just want to spin up a fresh VM with windows for a few hours. This makes it so much harder. It's like they don't care about people who just want to get some work done. Oh, wait....

If you use a penny 100 times, then its value is $1 and its cost is negligible. It's a durable item that lasts for years and provides value every time it's used.

So, of course they want to make as much room inside for paying passengers. And no one ever thinks their code has bugs, it's the other guys you need to be concerned about.

What court will this be tried in that would convict them, and what possible punishment could they get that would hurt them more than the profit they'll make by screwing up the planet?

I'm thankful to Cory Doctorow for giving me the word "enshitification" to make talking about it so much easier.

Solutions seems so easy and obvious until you start to think about exactly how to do them, and what obstacles will be thrown in your way should you actually start to get it done.

Please consider the next time you're inclined to start a sentence with "They should just..."

It's never the normal traffic that causes these things to make the news, it's always the things that no one anticipated. Humans still improvise way better than any machine.
