    Can anyone come up with a single example of an industry that’s not getting simultaneously worse (and/or smaller), and more expensive?

      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.

      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.
