many tech products were finished and then they kept 'innovating' until they were ruined. imo when a piece of software is over 15 years old, it should be legally removed from the custody of the rapacious american startup-turned-corporation whose uncompromising unsentimentality originally birthed it, and instead given to a medium-size, 120-year-old german company with modest annual revenue growth and 80 employees who produce a type of tube that goes inside air conditioning units of freight trains

@jk you may want to check what the 120-year-old German company was doing 80-85 years ago first.

@jk OK, so, that's not just me, then.
I've always said I don't want to be one of those developers that's stuck on a single forever-project.
I want to solve a problem, and LEAVE IT SOLVED. If I need more to do, solve more problems.

@jk I wrote a SF short story where a future anthropologist explains the Goh-Feinberg hypothesis, which maps product development to the three different ways human beings experience happiness.

@stefano Close one. Glad you made! It had rear traction, right? A bugger to regain control if traction gets lost.
It's a bit like a certain subtle sound I'll never forget. A very large wood construction- and timber market center right before my window of my childrens bedroom completely went up into flames in the middle of the dead night when I was young.
Much later, when my wife and me were living together one night I woke up by that subtle sound again and knew right away something big lit up. It was the bikeshed of our neigbours. We were able to call the FD and alerted the neighbours, who were still asleep at that point, to get out.🤷♀️

@robhardware excellent point Rob. I also feel that vanity metrics play a lot into it too... they are reluctant to leave behind a platform - and rebuild from scratch in a new place - if they had accumulated a lot of followers over the years.
IMHO it's all about optics and ego - even if X has armies of bots and engagement has plummeted for real users... when will they see the light?

@elena @404mediaco @Em0nM4stodon Absolutely agree. I imagine there are quite a few politicians who instinctively feel they should be off X being advised by their political parties comms teams that they are losing a huge advertising opportunity, especially during elections, if they leave, and that they would be at a disadvantage to their opponents. Until the stigma of using X outweighs the electoral cost, I'm just not sure how much change we'll see.

@macfranc @lauramassera @eticadigitale beh, attenzione perché la Apple deve assolutamente garantire (quasi per contratto) ai suoi clienti la privacy e la protezione dei loro dati. Tanto da avvisare loro stessi diversi clienti che nemmeno si erano accorti di aver subito intrusioni e controlli attivi sui propri dispositivi offrendo persino assistenza legale. Difendono semplicemente il loro "feudo" dando protezione (finché conviene) ai loro protetti che continuano semplicemente a consumare gadget e giochini digitali. Della libertà e della privacy in sé non gliene importa nulla a nessuno, né a chi si lascia possedere né tantomeno alle grandi aziende come Apple.

Lavoratore muore per il freddo nei cantieri delle olimpiadi a cortina. “lo specchio del lavoro tossico e nocivo dei grandi eventi”
@anarchia
È morto per il freddo all’età di 55 anni Pietro Zantonini, originario di Brindisi, durante un turno di vigilanza notturna nel cantiere delle olimpiadi Milano-Cortina.

@lauramassera Hai assolutamente ragione, ma diciamo anche che nel 2025 è impossibile non riconoscere che la malvagità antisociale è il tratto distintivo di quelle Big Tech che spesso si presentavano eticamente candide.
L'unica eccezione è probabilmente quella di Apple che effettivamente ha deciso, sia anche solo per questioni di marketing e narrativa aziendale, di opporsi alle nuove tendenze del cattivismo trumpiano
