> The previous answers all restate the problem as "Work is force dot/times distance". But this is not really satisfying, because you could then ask "Why is work force dot distance?" and the mystery is the same. .

It doesn't matter where we draw the line, or what someone else said at some point. I merely pointed out your argument wasn't a sound rebuttal. Criticizing subjective experiences to assess the situation is, but that cuts both ways.

"Otherwise". If the craftsman revenue isn't enough to recover the investment expenses, the business is operating at loss. But that's beside the point, because research investments are not the issue at hand. As said befor

Well, then you also have to assume higher expectations put on commercial offers raising operational costs. So, your objection really is a moot point.

Great, but that's only a part of operational costs. A craftsman's revenue may exceed the electricity bill for the power drill, doesn't mean the business is sustainable.

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha? Apart from research and marketing, that's operational costs. I mean, every product could be cheaper, if you didn't have to pay for employees and means of production.

German here, can confirm. Although, I don't think it's honest incompetence, but intentional corruption. Eg. public calls for bids tend to be a little too specific and politicians tend to get jobs where they funneled public money.

Quite frankly, in this very instance, Europe's slow tech adaptation and comparatively little investments are a blessing. At this point, there is nothing to gain but volatility. Let the US figure out the economic and social disruption,

Neither does the normal web. It became this way. The ability to run decentralized is not what is preventing enshittification. I would argue eg. a LoRa based Reticulum network is enshittification resistant, because of physical bandwidth and

The age verification with the EU ID card can be implemented without leaking any identifying information. If it's gonna be like that is questionable, but it's technically possible.
