Lemmy: Arrrr!
Big Tech: take away their PC and give them some completely locked down box fully under our control, to protect the children of course. And no more physical media!
The only answer to that is probably board games and books.
And had no more ideas to steal and badly implement

And because mechanical complexity is so great, all those ICS cars have a fully mechanical dashboard with a good ol’ spring driven clock, only physical switches and gyroscopic inertial system for navigation.

“If these companies want quality data, then they should offer quality contracts,” Alice continued. “Instead they’re low-balling struggling people, employing them for the barest possible amount of time and tossing them aside as projects are finished with no warning.”
Pay peanuts, get monkeys. Or minimum viable product for that price range, if you want to put it more fancy.
