95, lol, the percentages are there on the screen

Fantastic story, thanks so much for sharing

There’s an alternate history out there where Pearl Harbor didn’t happen and the US either never took part in WW2 or else entered far too late to make a difference and the Axis powers ultimately won.

Seems unlikely since either way the Soviets did the bulk of the work of defeating the Nazis.

No, I don’t think that’s sustainable, nor is it sustainable to act as if it were true. Given the lack of resources we have compared to Google or Meta et al., the only way to make it work is to stick with something for the long run, and bake in protections in both the technology and the organisational structure. Being opensource and federated goes a long way there, there’s no real reason why something not for profit would have to enshittify. But people won’t put in the effort to keep building it if they think that’s inevitable.

Gen X is just slightly less ancient boomers with occasional tattoos tbh

If you don’t keep a device for at least 5 years you have no real basis to talk about its issues though, like of course it’s fine when it’s basically brand new the whole time you have it
