@fsf Yeah, I mean, I feel like we are actively participating in the downfall of engineering/software development as a viable economic profession, and we contributing passively with every commit. "This will help you code faster" they say. "don't worry."

Automation will spare no one in the race to enshitify everything in pursuit of better corporate margins

@fsf all systemicism needs to end. how long can we go on believing these piecemeal attempts to claw back basic rights are going to get anywhere?

like patents for tubeless tire sealant -- basic recipes for useful things should not be subject to this despicable marketing ploy
