If you re getting < 100% of what you expected of your effort , then putting in more effort or even calibrating your expectations by the system need not be the answer
"Maybe" you need do it differently or do something else or for something else ( rearely possible if you work for what you need and not what you want)
Case in point
Personal account - on #himachalpradesh trip years ago
A gov employee riding a scooter was collecting beer bottles on the way to sell them in scrap , there was no other effort ta group of rag picking kids could have competed with if they were to distribute the earning amongst them fairy. If one of em d get irrationally impulsively ambitious, he d end up betraying his group ( irrational for him ) or stealing or if was the group leader , he could ve gottent the group to rob the man ( again irrational as the men wasnt doing anything illegal they d ve and they d lesser chances of escaping the long term consequences in any case )
Last point maybe system is designed to keep your class on the margins and their expectations in check. I
Doing something else without a clear strategy isnt the answer either
I think that need be the basis of #reservation in #jobs and not an #aadhaar card .
Also India needs smart villages

There's a certain bed manufacturer I've been dealing with the last month. It's the first company I've had interactions with where it seems like the corporate side actively hates their customers, and will do everything they can to flip you from being a fanboy to someone who will never use them again nor recommend their products to anyone.
Doesn't seem like a sustainable business model.
Frankly, this is the perfect business model for software.
Don't upgrade? Don't get new things but keep the ones you have.

Only single proprietorships, non-profits, and cooperatives are exceptions to this pattern. These business models, in contrast to for-profit corporations, either are owned by the community members or do not harvest profits.

“AI has adopted colonialism as its business model: Extract resources from others and use it to enrich yourself and your customers at the expense of those whose resources you have taken, without giving much back.” — Tim O’Reilly

More time should be devoted about the (near) future businessmodels of AI and how it collects data/content. Just trying to prevent AI models from scraping data will be futile.

Just wondering, are there any Mastodon instances that actually make money and can pay their infrastructure from services they deliver to members. I think the fediverse lacks financial/businessmodels. Volunteering and donations are great but not sustainable, not for a longer time and all instances.

Despite OpenAI's valuation, Deepseek seems to be building AI that is more in line with customer demands: affordable and usable without specialized hardware. Now we just need a model with open-source training data.

PRODUCTHEAD: Exponential growth is a myth
» So-called hypergrowth is quadratic, not exponential (adding a larger fixed amount each year — not multiplying)
» Sustainable growth requires new products or built-in virality, not just more marketing
» True exponential growth is rare and short-lived

Gumroad's Interestingly Timed "Open-Source" Play
https://tedium.co/2025/04/06/gumroad-open-source-doge-drama/
Zu dem Tiefeninterview ist heute nur eine Teilnehmerin gekommen. Eine hatte heute Nacht per Mail abgesagt. Die dritte ist nicht erschienen. Aber das Interview war sehr wertvoll. Wir haben fast zwei Stunden geredet und es gab sehr interessante Erkenntnisse. Zum Beispiel wünschte sich die Teilnehmerin eine Buchhalterin. Offensichtlich ist es schwer jemanden zu finden für kreative Kleinunternehmerinnen. Es wurden auch Regelungen und Gesetze angesprochen, bei denen nicht an Kleinunternehmerinnen gedacht wurde, wie zum Beispiel das Verpackungsgesetz.
Das war auf jeden Fall sehr aufschlußreich und ich hoffe auf weitere Termine
Morgen soll mein erstes Tiefeninterview zu meiner neuen Businessidee stattfinden. Bin schon sehr gespannt, ob alle Teilnehmenden kommen oder ich dann hier alleine sitze mit Snacks und Getränken
Apparently, 23andMe's business model of convincing people to pay for their own DNA results wasn't exactly the golden ticket to eternal riches. So now they're off to the bargain bin. 
Maybe next time, try selling something people actually want?
