We’re watching Microsoft ruin another company. Its like if EA or IBM buys something, its enshittified and rent seeking occurs for shareholders.
Once this Windows monopoly has passed due to the abysmal quality it will hopefully be over, and hopefully AI helps remove barriers to file portability to hasten their demise.
I think that’s how a lot of the internet is dying right now because buying an IP then wringing every drop of value out of its dying corpse before dropping it is a good way to make money right now. This is very much a thing that happens outside of the internet too, and happened long before the internet existed. I think one of the cool things about the internet is how quickly word can spread about this kind of compromised company / product / whatever thing, though I think we need to get better at it. I’m not exactly sure how to accomplish that, it seems like an overwhelming problem, but I think about it a lot.

I REALLY hope MS crashes and burns. They’re a shitstain company, and the shit Gates did as CEO was atrocious.
