A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I didn't say anything about abandoning it, just that it's bound to happen eventually like with any other business unlike people and murder.
The difference between a person and a corporation... is that once a corporation goes public, it's like having a person whose only goal in life is to get as much money as possible, no matter how. Those people usually end up in jail; corporations, not so much.
On the other hand, something like 2/3 of businesses "fail", or close, during the first 10 years, never going public. The ones surviving... are the ones that probably should be in "jail" 🤷
