@ewen really, I think we've about maximally screwed up infosec.
The incentives are all wrong. Tech is largely incentivized to make the most addictive, most quick-to-market, least durable stuff you can slap together, and who cares if it's fucking broken and terrible. We heap layers of abstraction on broken systems instead of actually making them easier and simpler, and then wonder why it's so impossible for anybody to know anything.
*sigh* This rant brought to you by: all of the occupational hazards.
Anyway, I suppose that's not helping. Sorry. I feel every word of this, though. Hope you're able to work this out without having to resort to lawyers.
@mav @ewen this seems...worse, somehow. A personal violation, like a pickpocket who then tries to extort you for your stuff.
In any case, this appears to be canonical enshittifcation. Perhaps there's something axiomatic about it.
Field of Dreams style: "If you build it, and it becomes successful, eventually the assholes will come and try to make it both a target of, and an avenue for, abuse"
Asimov style: "All sufficiently successful technologies inevitably attract assholes who will try to ruin it for everyone"
