I agree with you, but still would like to point out that the same line of argument (we’ve been fine before) would be as valid if society were to actually collapse. No species has ever gone extinct before... until it does!

If it’s really about what the software does, then the conversation would be about exposing proper APIs that let me view the data, query it, schedule operations on it, etc. But then offering a shinier/slightly more bespoke way of doing

That’s an interesting space. There should be a way to share just file hashes with a description and basic metadata for each of them, eg: dea939...82f A scan of Newton’s personal notebook, page 13 (image from London Museum of History, 2013,

To me this highlights how backwards our way of building software is. Having a user display and draw on top of an image is trivial, and something our systems have been able to do for decades. Streaming video bidirectionally is also trivial a

Maintaining a fork that does that isn’t trivial, but it’s certainly doable by any one engineer. However, maintaining such a fork is not the only prerequisite for it “taking off”. It may well be that my great uncle would love that feature -
