It's well understood that big pharma has no incentive to cure diseases: they make more money by developing unique, patentable chemicals rather than using existing (unpatentable) natural compounds & remedies. Also, they seldom seek a *cure* - they make far more money from a lifelong treatment, ideally one with side-effects requiring further treatment.

The software industry is precisely the same - they want to sell you a treatment you pay for every month, not "buy once, problem solved".

I don't remember "foreskin restoration" on the Skyrim skill tree 🤔

I don't think I've heard this version of the happy birthday song before

street unix? oh, you mean watchOS?

Hot Take:

Most internet culture (memes, video game mods, "pirating", etc) is a great example of a "Gift Economy" where people contribute to the culture simply because they want to.

People work really hard for no direct gain. Hours of work, for free and little credit.
