A Masto instance would have been cool. But that is just garbage.

That’s honestly spot on

That’s the whole point of the entire thread?

That’s so not true.

It’s just that the focus shifted from nerds doing nerd things to economists enslaving nerds because they realized there is a lot of money in there.

Tech is still exciting. The constant enshitification and “profits!!!” is what is annoying, depressing, and outreagous.

Take WASM for example. It’s absolutely stunning. Imagine what we would have done with it 15 years ago. Now, it is still some niche because they haven’t figured how to squeeze money out of it.
