Enjoying my life, working on things that inspire me, not following tedious news about tech industry mergers and acquisitions.

Not dismissing the news as unimportant, it is important. It's just boring and I wish we lived in a world where everything good wasn't subsumed into soulless corporate behemoths.

So far Epic still seems to have a tiny bit of soul. But that'll gradually fade as it does with every huge company and in ten or fifteen years it'll be another Adobe/Autodesk.

Heh. I’ve been enjoying my life, as well, and also buying things from Bandcamp. And each time I do for the last year it says “Receipt for Your Payment to Bandcamp, an Epic Company.”

Anyway I don’t want to bore you, but yes I agree that less mergers would be nice. And the bandcamp news was very worrisome, and I’m sure at some point things will turn to shit.
