software fascism describes the process of a piece of software actively engaging into pushing better alternatives out of the competition by creeping into spaces far outside its actual purpose and by making said spaces dependent on itself.
Eventually it leads to it being not replaceable by the better alternative and people are forever stuck with that garbage.

Sysadmin 1: Damn my servers are running like shit!
Sysadmin 2: Yea thats because you have let that garbage of systemd into your distro and now all of your applications depend on it due to software fascism and you are stuck with it forever.
Sysadmin 1: No one could have seen that coming.

You can calculate it by comparing its price when it was first released and seeing how much it has risen in % until present day.

They willingly accept Implicit Trust models, forced telemetry, and "kill-switch" obsolescence from companies like Microshit 💩 or Faketel, effectively allowing a third party to "cuck" their relationship with their own physical silicon.
Usage: "Did you see that guy defending the new Windows 🪟 Recall feature? Total software cuck behavior. He doesn't even have Ring 0 authority over his own kernel."

Andrej Karpathy, a prominent Al researcher and former senior director of Al at Tesla, coined the term
"Software 2.0"
Software 2.0 refers to a new paradigm in software development where traditional programming is replaced by machine learning models. Instead of writing explicit code, developers create and train neural networks that learn from data to perform tasks. This approach allows software to solve complex problems like image recognition, natural language processing, and more, by learning from examples rather than following predefined rules.

Most of the large language models we use aren’t compiled code. They are all software 2.0. The software that full self drives my Tesla is software 2.0.
