@jonty Also, "wearing the Doggo t-shirt is an incredibly awesome experience", jfc, how and when did we normalise businesses talking to us like recalcitrant four-year-olds
@jonty This feels a bit like the carcinization hypothesis in biology? Like, the environmental pressures of C21st capitalism means that any and all businesses with an online element will inevitably devolve to being just another merch operation
@jonty@mattround my bozo bit flipped on Kagi when I saw the founder write “Politics finding its way into tech is one of the reasons we do not have innovation any more” as a response to customers criticizing them for partnering with Brave last December https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/111707573907442638
@andybaio@jonty Yep, regardless of the actual point in question there was no need to bring a broader ideological gripe into it, it's the same kind of “FFS why can't we just do whatever we want any more" exasperation seen many times before from tech bosses
@jonty I mean when not even Linus G. Sebastian is "quality-focused" enough to set up his own t-shirt printing company, these guys are clearly onto something
