And the behemoth spoke, delivering a message forwarded from beyond the tar pits: "Child, hear my words. Do not become a giant! Do not try to dominate! My kind are long dead. Remain as small, agile groups, free to roam and mix at will — a federation, if you will, not a megafauna. Move fast and adapt! Heed my warning or perish!"
This came to digital blows over whether to federate with Threads not so long ago. A LOT of us said hell no to letting Meta's data vampirism and sociopathic surveillance back into our networks.
OMFG this so much. Especially since most tutorials are ponderously slow and tedious. At the other extreme, are the ones with no subtitles and no sound where you are expected to follow a cursor flying around the screen clicking on things and are supposed to understand what happens. Those in particular should die in a fire.
