I was hoping for it to end with “go opensource”. But well, that would be asking for too much.

This makes me so proud to be Norwegian! (Which hasn’t been easy lately 😅)

It would be funny if it wasn’t absolutely true for anything and everything

I am guessing it has to do with the royal family. One of the kids assaulted and raped girls if I recall correctly and the princess has ties to Epstein

well I don’t think there is a country in the world that isn’t tied to Epstein in someway. Maybe Chad? So it’s a world-wide shame really.

That’s why FOSS is like the only real way to avoid enshittification. There is less of a profit incentive. And if the original team or project sells out forks are always an option. Sadly even with traditional hardware item or household machines things are created in a way were they break after a few years once they’re out of warranty so you have replacement. On that note there’s a stream of a light bulb that’s more than a hundred years old and still continuously running
