Can anyone come up with a single example of an industry that’s not getting simultaneously worse (and/or smaller), and more expensive?
Actually open source software just keeps getting better and better. I’m amazed at how much stuff I can run on my own computers for free!
However with AI flooding open source projects with security vulnerabilities and things, this is subject to change (but hopefully not)
I guess I don’t consider OSS to be an “industry” in the same way other, mainly capitalist, endeavors are. It’s more akin to a co-op
I feel like I got into self hosting at the exact correct time. Immich is amazing, Filebrowser Quantum is incredible, Ghost (Patreon alternative) has been awesome, and there’s so much more. It’s so good.
E-scooters. They’ve been pretty rapidly getting both cheaper and more capable (longer range, higher speeds). Sadly, most of the innovation seems to come from Chinese companies.
I’d say this could apply to a lot of new cars too. But yeah, it feels pretty unusual to see an industry shit the bed like this.

I dunno if my tastes just evolved, but I swear Arizona isn’t as good as it used to be

Costco in general, actually. When was the last time they increased the membership cost?
