Damnatio memoriæ.

Hell is other people's APIs.

And the probability of some undocumented and unforeseen interaction between imperfectly thought-out APIs grows with the factorial of their number.

@davidbrin Maybe add a tactile experience to the all-senses intermediated reality experience?

@freemo
Well, that makes for a nice toy …
but at whom do you want to take aim more accurately?

@freemo
Hmmm.
What do you need that fetish for?

@freemo What gig are all those gigs for, anyhow?

What's a Superbooth (and when and where), anyhow?

More like maximizing profits by diminshing utility,
vulgo: enshittification.

@freemo
from a game-theoretic point of view, the game is to make profit by generating artificial scarcity.
I think @pluralistic refers to this as
"Chokepoint Capitalism"
and
"enshittification".

@freemo @trinsec
Now who REALLY gets the credit for starting that land war in Ukraine?

@freemo
Competitive market economy?
Reaganomics??
Or just plain capitalism???

@quinn Ah, ça ira ça ira ça ira.

Mit der humanistischen Bildung isch's au nemme dees.

Ich habe gerade beim Einkaufen in Tübingen ein hübsches junges Fräulein mit schwarzem Top und völlig bekritzelter Khaki-Hose getroffen.

Ich hab' sie gefragt:
Haben Sie überhaupt das Abitur?

Das hat sie bestätigt.

Aber bei meiner nächsten Frage:
Was bedeutet:

Si tacuisses, viridis mansisses

war sie
—trotz soeben bestandenem Latein-Leistungskurs-Abitur—
mit ihrem Latein am Ende.

O sancta simplicitas!

Surprising but sensible resignation.
