Incomplete. Forever.
For most of human history, you bought a thing, and it was yours, and it was finished.
That word is nearly extinct.
Nothing you own is finished. Everything exists in a state of permanent incompletion, permanently needing. Your phone needs updates, needs charging, needs storage cleared, needs passwords rotated.
~ Terry Godier, from The Last Quiet ThingThat’s exactly it. I’m often talking about calm technology and that’s one key issue with stuff these days. But this point about finished makes my heart sink.

"Every property that made these protocols feel old and uncool in 2014 is part of what's keeping them alive in 2026."
Excellent essay on the resilence of the core internet, by Terry Godier. It lifts up the spirit of the battle-weary follower of #JoanMastodon.
Thank you for the link Sara. (It makes such good sense in your post profile.)
Hat tip to @tg for his great essay.
