   Daily Inspiration: "‘Your time is gonna’ come’ need not be your epitaph!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Innovate or die.

   It's that simple.

   Here's a simple list of companies that were once great successes. Then they weren't: Blockbuster. Borders. Lehman Bros. Kodak. Circuit City. RadioShack. Pan-Am. Enron. E.F. Hutton.RCA. Tower Records. Polaroid. Woolworths. Compaq. Arthur Anderson. The list could go on.... companies that were leaders in their time, and then failed, due to a lack of innovation; a failure to adapt; ethical problems; or other factors that could have been avoided.

   In the next 10 years, we will see several established companies added to the list.  We'll also see a lot of medium and small-sized enterprises go the same way - except we won't see them on such a list. They'll just disappear in a swirl of emotional upset.

   Right now, some of them could be making decisions to avoid that fate.

   They aren't.

   Here's some interesting food for thought from a great article on the issue of corporate longevity:

   "The S&P 500 lists the 500 most valuable companies in the United States. Dick Foster, a McKinsey consultant, studied their average lifespan. It is a sobering tale that reminds us just how fast-paced business innovation has become. In 1937, the average tenure of companies on the list was 75 years. By 1960, it was 61 years. In 1980, 37 years. In 2000, 26 years. Today, an average of 15 years."

   Your chance for longevity and survival is shrinking. Disruption, business model change, and technological transformation are real, and so you have a simple choice: innovate or die.

   Your time is 'gonna come - so let it arrive the right way!

   Why the hell are some people SO against people on Fedi making money?

   If people have no way to make money here, Fediverse will die.

   It may be hard to accept, but it's true.

   Upon finding out 99% of NYU protesters were indeed students, Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino decided they all have to die.

   It feels like Democrats should stop helping these people in their war on students and higher education?

   It was just an accident that they bombed every single hospital.

   It was just an accident that they bombed universities, libraries and museums.

   It was just an accident that they completely desecrated multiple cemeteries.

   It was just an accident that they bombed starving people queueing for flour.

   It was just an accident that they left Palestinian preemies in incubators to die.

   It was just an accident that they killed 77 journalists.

   It was just an accident that they killed Shireen Abu Akleh.

   @SolSoCoG also, is it me, or almost nobody makes space themed games which promote building, upgrading and habitation?
   Evocron: shoot.
   Starfield: shoot.
   X series: shoot many ships.
   Endless Space: build for shooting.
   Outer Wilds: die 2368 times because we said so.
   Homeworld: build, shoot, die.

   It's so sad.

   LB: The fact that Mastodon (the aoftware) has AFAICT not evolved in the last 6 months to address any of the major complaints people have had about it (quote-toots, better searching, smooth onboarding, probably more I can’t remember) makes me think it’s probably not a long-term platform for most people. Any corporate platform which offers more is going to smoke it.

   Maybe it will be a *very* long-term solution, as corporate platforms will probably come and go on a 5-15 year cadence, but if so then its supremacy will probably come after I die.

   It is obviously a long-term solution for some people, but I bet almost all of those people are here already. The platform needs to substantially evolve to attract more people.
