<h5>August 2025</h5>
<p>The intention of this website is to provide a means for me to disseminate information which I want to share, to serve as a data storage device and to provide references to other data stores, and perhaps to be a beacon of hope in this age of declining internet culture. Not a digital campfire, but more of </p>
<p>Here are some questions I have.</p>
<ul>
<li>What happened to Nintendo?</li>
<li>Why is Google actively destroying YouTube?</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
<p> Many people out there have been worried about these same issues, such as <a href = "https://x.com/joshwhiton/status/1987551329636544732">Josh Whiton</a>, so I won't write about it too much here.</p>
<p>I can only hope that this decade will be the one where we humans finally stop actively degrading functionality and user experience of all our tools, and return to our senses. We will also stop doing planned obsolescense, because businesses won't be able to get away with exploiting their customers. </p>
<p>One of my main hopes for the future of humanity is that we remember how to make good user interfaces and well-made tools. This comes down to caring about ourselves and each other, and not giving in to the corruption of whatever company has employed us to make whatever product or service. And I'm not only talking about software user interfaces. This degenerate pattern exists in other domains, such as comstumer service call centers, science journalism, and microwave ovens. </p>
<p>It is my goal with each of these writings to leave the reader with at least one little thing worthwhile to think about. </p>
