I feel like the modern connected internet is collapsing.

Phone apps fail to update themselves. Forms can't be completed. Email doesn't get delivered. People can't even link to their own websites properly. Cross--browser compability is on the decline. Every additional CPU core makes my laptop slower.

It's as if we achieved peak convenience a few years ago by building and building, all while ignoring the technical debt we were piling up. But now the dam is broken and it's sweeping down the valley and through the town.

“Powered #wheelchair users who need even basic repairs are corralled by DRM into using the manufacturer’s authorized depots, often enduring long waits during which they are unable to leave their homes or even their beds. Even small routine adjustments, like changing the wheel torque after adjusting your tire pressure, can require an official service call.”

The Beekeeper (2024). Bad acting. Flimsy story. Ridiculous plot. Anti-authoritarian conspiracy fantasy. Republican torture porn. Being the worst it can be in all the ways it can be. Bad in a not fun way.
