It walls an increasing amount of the web off from a really small and ever decreasing amount of people. I'd actually say it's good engineering. If I engineer a small gas can (for filling my lawn mower) I can build one that holds a

> the drive to turn websites into revenue generators has had a corrosive effect While I agree, there is the other side of that. They are very very expensive. Even a simple site needs servers, and devs. > More info is better. For who?

But I'd assume that license wouldn't be an easy thing to get. So it would be rich companies getting it. It would price innovation out of the market. Also, not sure what you mean by weak encryption. An average attacker now has acce

I second that. I've worked for many companies whose goal was not to make a profit, but instead to make the world better for one group of people. They did profit, but that was really just so they could afford to continue to help their t

True.. but in todays supply chain issues, you might not get that house done for a long long time. I purchased a built house, six months after my neighbour. I was in 2 days after close. I took the stove and dishwasher the builder picked. My
