It's incredible to me, how fast everything is becoming awful and broken, yet everyone is cheering and nothing is getting fixed. This definitely isn't unique to this environment. Stuff I've used for years is increasingly becoming unusable. I dread updating anything outside of Nostr now and quite a few Nostr things too. ๐Ÿ˜…

Me too. Me too ๐Ÿซ  I'm glad many longstanding Linux apps remain stable. But I'm even dreading upgrading my OS again because who knows how unstable things will get. All I can do is make sure I don't deliver slop in my own fiat-mining work.

You mistook currency debasement for platform decay. M1 money supply is up 45% since 2020. Your software rot is a symptom of the same entropy: infinite issuance eroding the baseline of trust.
I'm sure you're right. Change requires discomfort. I am most curious about how quickly that semi-stable state of things may come about. Will it be before a lot of people realize that a technology is only as necessary as we allow it to be? Is it even a negative, if that is a commonly accepted fact? Nostr stuff keeps me hopeful, partly because of how everything ties together after being fractured apart. Wouldn't it just be beautiful, if the inevitable changing of the guards happens due to their own vibe-coded Frankensteins, just in time for the rise of free-flowing information?
