m365 has done so much damage to computing. Same deal with google’s equivalent.
Comment on AI’s Unpaid Debt: How LLM Scrapers Destroy the Social Contract of Open Source

Hmm. I think the main damage is done by other factors. I mean even before AI, everything turned into subscriptions and services. We use Office365 these days and the documents are in the cloud. There isn’t much need for Free Software Office Suites or mail clients anymore. Operating systems have less impact because honestly only old people use computers. Everyone else does their stuff on a phone. And then we finally crossed the barrier into a post-privacy world and people don’t care. And sure, on top of that large companies take the nice database projects, libraries etc and monetize products with that. Or they train AI and sell that.

I’m not sure how to feel about this, either, haha. But both my sister and I are 40+ and she has not had a computer for at least 10 years. Smartphone only.
