In case we’re not aware already, these companies are building faster and bigger than the market can keep up with. They’re expecting a tremendous fallout likely within the next several years. The companies that remain will dominate this market indefinitely… for better or worse
I guess it’s inevitable that the USA must copy China’s approach to managing the internet… the existential crises are reaching a breaking point
I wonder how many Americans, while believing they are a sophisticated culture, understand this is a test of their common existential narrative… which is backward and evidence of an inability to scale given modernity
yes indeed, glad you’re attempting to overcome the struggle of life like us all … good luck to you
happy to be your hell, good citizen ☺️ I wish you the best
do we have to be burdened by western existential narratives vis a vis Orwellianism that don’t scale? seemingly, yes! society seemingly doesn’t scale gracefully … though China looks better-adapted to present reality
ah, and the challenges to scale once again hit the wall … they’ll have to use AI to police maintainers to keep them from using AI 😂
The people who avoided drinking water in favor of beer? No, I doubt they envisioned widespread government-sponsored clean water systems in the first place let alone the society we’ve since become unable to maintain such systems. Enjoy your obscenely expensive bottled dead water.

I’m over twenty years deep. I had a friend who was always my go-to for technical problems with my windows laptop. He ended up becoming a technical support guy for windows shops. anyways, he mentioned Linux one day as I was babbling about file sharing during the Napster days. I went down the rabbit hole from there. I’ve been called a systems administrator, server administrator, systems engineer, DevOps engineer, etc as job titles. it clicked in my head how or why it worked and it felt liberating. I’m the grumpy guy scowling trying to figure out how your windows or Mac operating systems work like how normal people are trying to figure out how mine works.
God bless her 🙏 this is how we build Americans
