@f0x yeah like. Wow! Despite being conquered by the French in the 1100s many parts of the UK still embrace their culture, foods, and traditions!

You might not be surprised to learn that I support fediblocking moth.social.

Don't support venture capital-backed anything for the fedi. They're here to destroy it, like they've destroyed everything else.

dependencies, capitalism 

I frequently talk about how the ideal dependency is one that does precisely one well-defined thing, rarely needs any maintenance, has no room for scope creep (because it only does exactly one thing), and that is so straightforward and unremarkable that you almost forget you're using it.

Explaining this to people is already exhausting, because this is a topic with a lot of misinformation and wrong assumptions floating around it.

But what *really* worries me is that even if everybody were to accept this on an 'intellectual level' overnight, it likely still isn't going to happen - because capitalist incentives work against it.

Why? Because you won't get millions of VC or acquisition money for something unremarkable that Just Works and needs no marketing copy.
