A thing I want to point out about publicly traded companies is that they are legally required to maximize shareholder profit.

So if a CEO refuses to do something immoral that would increase profits, the shareholders can sue to have them fired and replaced with someone else.

Not protecting any company here but this entire system is fucked and clearly leads to enshittyfication and immoral actions becoming the norm.

They should re-use that old apple ad "there is an app for that!"

"There is a boxer for that!"

We should put research into stratospheric aerosol injection. We need an insurance to limit climate change if emissions don't go down fast enough.

We know it works, and it's at least not catastrophically unsafe as we have already done it with container ships, and seen it happen at bigger scale with volcanic eruptions.

This is a good start:

Mostly moving to hetzner. It's a bit rough around the edges but works.

One big thing missing is there is no good and affordable WAF. Myra is good but costs at least 10k/month.

I am almost done migrating away from all US businesses as a result of this. I am even drinking freeway cola 😅

I work in IT as a freelance DevOps/Cloud engineer and am advising all my clients to migrate away from AWS etc.

Even sold most of S&P 500 and reinvested into an all-world ex-US ETF.
