Not only RAM. I've recently been thinking about how much better things could be if ISP had data limits again. No doomscrolling, no multigigabyte patches, less slop, less spyware, less datacenters, less clickbait. All those things would become less profitable when transfers are limited.

As if the industry needs excuses. They have enshitified all aspects of software with impunity, who will they have to answer to? The same public that accepted regression after regression in software quality?
