The funny thing about this is that the biggest customers can’t usually just switch. If a system is set, it is set for decades, generations or the entire company lifetime.

So microslop may start feeling part of the impact way further along the line, and wouldn’t be able to do shit about it

Movies often align to the popular perception if a thing rather than reality. Otherwise you’re watching a documentary.

You’re not wrong, but unfortunately for now github is the best for reach and discovery, which may be important for these kind of projects.

Good luck idiot lawmakers
