What happens when a large open source project dies?
@andrewnez > You could measure it: look at the fork and dependency graphs of dead projects over time, count how many new projects cite a dead dependency, compare the half-life of a whale fall in npm versus crates versus rubygems.
That's more a measurement of neglectful maintainers than anything else though. -

@andrewnez Indeed a very good read. I took a long break from keeping up with technology news and focused on family and a more semi-digital career until recently, when I started keeping up with the FOSS evolution and the Fediverse. This resonates with me, I feel like I am diving into a combination of evolution, archeology and scavengehunting.

@cwebber it's based on a book that starts in the 70's, that's why we have that particular flavor of militant protest

@cwebber That's a very likely outcome. I really think, there could still be a correction coming up. It might turn out that you just can't make money with AI. Especially, since there's lots of externalised cost, lots of cost upfront and the productivity gains are as of yet still not in ranges that would justify the investment long term.

@cwebber @vv yeah prediction markets are already huge and it feels like a lot of people are going to be getting in on it late

@joeyh I'm not quite sure what you mean "from the 70s to today", could you elaborate? I thought it was from today to 2042 basically.

@cwebber I see some things changing. Before the pandemic, Mastodon was a desert, diaspora was already a conspiracionist hellhole, EU wasn’t at all invested in digital commons, there was no smollweb, etc. Now I get to spend most of my social media time on community-controlled platforms. Your work might change everything down the line.

I mentioned this to @vv who said "They already are moving starting their move onto the next grift probably, it's the proliferation of gambling."

@cwebber especially poignant since the time jump in One Battle was effectively also from the 70's to today
