And what if everyone had a cook at home for very cheap?

Movie theater numbers are collapsing, in large parts due to the number of entertainment available at home those days.

Hetzner + Coolify. Pretty fun, while low maintenance and great UX.

Just to add another item to the list others have brought up :

Goal displacement -> Goal displacement occurs when an organization or individual shifts focus from original objectives to secondary goals, often prioritizing procedures, metrics, or internal processes over intended outcomes.

In large corps, people who are good at staying in a company, and people who are good at serving the company's objectives are typically two different skillsets. And one of those skillset helps you stay inside the company more than the other.

oh I can tell you that lately, hundreds of bots are very much visiting my website every day in volumes that I have never seen in the past... Unsure that's a good news though

I do definitely feel this 100% on all the larger companies claiming huge AI gains. Spotify, Microsoft, Google, ... Steady decline in quality, more and more sluggishness, random strange bugs showing.

I do believe we'll go the other way again, but unsure how soon.

Shipping faster is great, it just feels like quality has been lower on the priority the past few years.

This, 200 times. No weekly news does not mean dead. In some specific places like this one, it means stable. (And also arguably, for good or bad reasons, why it will never become mainstream).

And in a few years, all the manufacturers will be wondering why those customers don't consume as much any more.

I never imagined my blogs to be useful to anyone. For me, they're mostly just things I felt like sharing but with no particular audience in mind. Over the years though, I find myself receiving email from people who I helped. I even googled quite a few things in the past years only to find the first answer to be a blog of mine. So I unblocked myself a few times.

Blogging is fun. What's obvious for you isn't for everyone.

Your obsession about teenage girls is worrying

EDIT: my bad, I read you wrong and didn't realize you didn't bring up the whole tenage girl thing. Sorry for that.
