Kids under 16 are likely to explore alternatives and get vendor-locked to them instead of Meta et Al. products.

All of this will inherently reduce runaway algorithmic complexity, prevent the sort of artisanal work that causes leakiness, and speed up your code.

Why am I suddenly seeing this guy’s name every single day? Is it a Lemmy thing?
