Worse: they actively do not care. "I don't know how to [insert business type here], but I know how to manage." Like the former CEO of McDonald's taking over (one of?) the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Who needs a PhD, MD, or knowledge of things like biology, medicine, chemistry, physics, etc., when you know how to uh... what was the goal again? Oh yes: "make number go up".

They have no incentive to care about the product they're offering because they couldn't care less about it.
I think it's kinda even worse: they'll take a good product and actively make it worse, so it's not mere indifference to it but active hatred towards the wants of the customers, in contrast to the desires of the Board.
Like why change a perfectly good logo? If it serves its purpose, then leave it alone?! But no, line must go up, and even if changing the logo makes it go down, then oh well...

There is something horribly symbolic in all of that 🤮👿📚
It seems (a little) akin to burning books: sure maybe you can get away with doing whatever you wish to a printed copy that you purchase (legally speaking), but that doesn't mean that we (the bystanders) should rush to enjoy using the final product of the endeavor.

The hubris of that statement could only come from a physicist! We would indeed have a foundation upon which to understand
everythingmany things, if only we could keep up with issues like scale, events happening far away, and historical choices as you pointed it. - Comment on Seeking for funding 3 weeks ago:
I would argue that the choice of L- or D-molecules is not a physics question so much as a chemistry/biology one.

If they are trying to immorally reserve a spot not being actively used by a car... I note that it is not exactly an effective blocker if someone still wanted to park there...? 😁
Though I would hope that there is some as yet unknown purpose such as needing to park closer and (un)load lots of heavy stuff.

It defederated from Hexbear at least, so yes. I absolutely love that instance - I whole-heartedly recommend the admin team there, but if someone is looking for federation with instances such as that one, that is not what it is about.
It is a fantastic recommendation to make to someone coming in from Reddit.
