This, from PEP 761, describes a regression, not an improvement:

“Sigstore’s security model depends more on centralized infrastructure compared to PGP, such as the “public good” signature transparency log (Rekor), certificate authority and transparency log (Fulcio), and the security of OpenID Connect identity providers like Google and GitHub.”

We need to *remove* control from those centralised, for-profit, #GrowthAtAllCosts #platforms. Not give them more.

Ed Zitron calls this “the #RotEconomy”:

“I believe we're at the end of the Rot-Com boom — the tech industry's #HyperGrowth cycle where there were so many lands to conquer, so many new ways to pile money into so many new, innovative ideas that it felt like every tech company could experience perpetual growth simply by throwing money at the problem.

“It explains why so many tech products — YouTube, Google Search, Facebook, and so on — feel like they’ve got tangibly worse. There’s no incentive to improve the things you’ve already built when you’re perpetually working on the next big thing.”

The Rot Economy ft Robert Evans - Better Offline | iHeart

<p>Ever wonder why Google results are getting worse, or why you aren't seeing your friends on Instagram? It's all because of the growth-at-all-costs economy that's swallowed the tech industry, where the user experience takes a back seat to monetizing every interaction with the platforms you used to love. Ed Zitron is joined by Cool Zone Media's Robert Evans to walk you through the economic theory that's destroying the tech industry from within.</p><p>See <a href='https://omnystudio.com/listener'>omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

“The scariest part is there is no one villain.
You can scrutinize #SiliconValley and #Facebook all you want, but Facebook exists in a #stockmarket enabled society. . . . then there is this drive for growth-at-all-costs mentality, so you take the #growthatallcosts [mentality] in a #freemarket environment and you apply that with this ethos of #growfast and break things and this is where we end up — we are a broken #democraticstructure.”
