If we don't learn from our mistakes, we'll repeat them.

- Why did it fall?
- Corrupt Government

- No More Children
- The Eastern Empire
- Hired Mercenaries
- Logistics Nightmare
- Economic Troubles
- Two Major Plagues
- High Unemployment
- No Technological Advancement

- "History is an agreed upon fable."
- MS didn't care about web standards
- IE was unrelated to Windows
- MS didn't care about the web at all
- MS pushed for proprietary scripting
- "MS didn't care about web standards"
- Actually, Netscape was the one who began ignoring new standards more and more.
- "IE was unrelated to Windows"
- Actually it was integrated into the whole OS.
- "MS didn't care about the web at all"
- Actually their plan had been to connect all their products and services through the internet.
- Android as Closed Source
- Google stopped even trying to develop the Android Open Source project "in public"
- Googled pushed everything to Play services
- Google has been replacing the stock apps
- Antitrust lawsuits
- The factors
- iOS started to feel more complete to users
- Apple started throwing in the kitchen sink (after Jobs died)
- Apple decided to prioritize fixing OS bugs
- the core Jailbreak community left long ago
- the remaining had a bad sense of humor
- the developer community had a "death spiral"
- Jailbreak, in hindsight
- the user community was reliant on teenagers
- few of the users actually shared the vision
- Saurik's personal strategy "was, like, non-sensical"
- likely should not have done r/jailbreak
- might've maintained more personal space from community (?)
The history of humanity is a race between education and catastrophe.
