Cathartic to read. So much potential and goodwill squandered to make the buggiest nonsense whose sole job it is to render text and graphics. Is morbidly funny to see how our collective 8 billion minds haven’t figured out this one thing, built an open source protocol, and moved on. The mind virus, because there is one just not the one that’s oft referenced, is allowing rent seeking monopolies to do a shit job repackaging and enshitiffying basic digital infrastructure. These ideas are so self evident.

We could have moved on to the next item in the list of solvable problems. But more likely than not Adobe will kick this dead horse for another half century as we all watch. The extraction model is at odds with humanity’s needs. May the realization of this be our eventual salvation.
