    IMO all consumer software should forcibly become open source after 10 years. Companies have 10 years to make a fuckton of money from it. That also means they have 10 years to innovate enough so that once the source code is released they will still have something else to sell that is big enough of an improvement that people will still want to pay for it.

    Otherwise you end up with stagnation and enshitification from companies controlling critical software and holding back entire industries like Adobe is.









  • I live in Canada. My rationalization is that as much as what’s happening in the US is pissing me off, I have no business going into another country to try to fix it for the people who live there.

    However, if the day ever arrives that they decide to follow through with their threat of annexing my country, it will become my problem. And you can trust me that I’ll make sure to become their problem as well.
