Looking at the Kobayashi Maru simulation from a completely different perspective
Memory Alpha Wiki https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru
This is one of those texts that left me with an open mouth.
I know Star Trek. I know about the fictional Kobayashi Maru simulation used in Starfleet to put cadets in an 100% guaranteed "No-win" scenario. But never ever have I thought about the whole simulation, it's tasks, it's challenges and outcomes from this perspective. Never ever have I realised how contradicting the simulation can be to the core values of the Federation.
Hence I really urge you to read "The thing about the Kobayashi Maru" written by Greg Pogorzelski. Really puts up a new perspective on everything.
And if medium.com should ever vanish and take this glorious text with it, here is a link to an archived version: https://archive.is/Cg3pd

Amber McDaniel from SustainableJungle.com made a comprehensive video about Etsy and the downward spiral the platform seems to be locked-in. The developments, changes in processes etc. she describes clearly shout "Enshittyfication" to me.

This blog now has comments! Yai!

I used Isso (Official Website, GitHub) to integrate comments into this block. This was a feature which I missed dearly as I value the input from others, but wouldn't go all the way in using a Wordpress installation or similar blogging software.
Isso integrates nicely, just two small changes to my blogs templates and done. All comments are stored in a SQLite DB on this host. This means no data sharing with services like Discourse, Google or the like. Additionally this has the benefit that no registration is required. As I hate it when I have to create yet another account to just write one or two sentences of feedback. More often than not I refrained from commenting because of this.
Comments have to pass a moderation for spam reasons though.
