I like how almost everything we do now is in response to things going to shit.

Lemmy - Reddit went to shit

Linux (Desktop, anyway) - Windows went to shit

Piracy - Distribution and pricing went to shit

Jellyfin - Plex went to shit

Emulation - Nintendo, mostly...

Matrix - Just in case Signal tries anything... switchblade

Monopoly was originally the Landlord's Game and was designed to teach children the dangers of unchecked monopolies and growth in the concentration of wealth.

Software and by extension, software companies are subject to those same Iron Laws of Oligarchy.

Given enough time, everything turns to shit, and it's up to younger, healthy, energized people to fight back the power creep.
