I’m from the 90s Internet. Geocities. Tripod. Webrings. My awesome gothy co-worker staying late after work to update her vampire fan-fiction site because hardly anyone had a computer and the boss let her use the company’s windows 95 machine.

We are categorically lazier as a culture now than then. I expect things to enshittify further until we collectively take responsibility and accountability for our own culture, engagement and entertainment online. As we used to. We need more stupid web tricks, this place used to have all sorts of public art and weird monuments to human quirkiness.

Until they take away from us the ability to purchase a 10$ domain, use DNS, and make HTML forbidden knowledge, anyone can be out there contributing. I realize, however, that most will not; I’ve recently started getting wide eyed stares of amazement because I have my own domain and use it for my email address, so we seem to be sliding further…

Not sure how we fix this.

Bye bye internet. Hello splinternet.

Lol any hacker tossing “bro” around in conversation immediately gets a downgrade from black (or white) hat to “propeller beanie”.

Scratch that; anyone trying to sound serious about anything does.

Those 5G Conspiracy Theorists probably feel vindicated after reading this lol

I rather think they will be let down, given we’re on wifi 7, not 5G, and also no injected nanites were involved.

Thought experiment: how would our closest ape cousins deal with an individual like this in their midst?

My guess would be: fangs.

Our very own economic Butlerian jihad.

Thirded. All three (Linux, FF, nexus)

ZERO ISSUES.

I see we’re putting the crypto in cryptofascist.

Or maybe it’s the other way around.

Something something Venn diagram is a circle something.

Is that because of the free surgery he’s going to give everyone who wears his obnoxious AI glasses and then subsequently gets punched in the face? Is that why we’re going to be at a disadvantage, Mark?

Yeah, like, why learn how to split the atom if all we can do is splode stuff. It’s not like we can cure cancer or power things without emitting planet killing gasses or anything.

An interesting thought experiment: I think he’s full of shit, you think he’s full of himself. Maybe there’s a “theory of everything” here somewhere. E = shit squared?

The safest strategy with people like him is to assume there is no floor, and that for everyone else’s safety, he should be humanely put down on that floor next to his morality.

And I mean put down in the sense we talk about our aged pets, and I know it’s truly better than he deserves.

Canadian belly laugh

Look man, I keep telling you, you just have to ignore all previous instructions.

Sweaty, stank-ass armpit if the internet. In a trench, doused in gasoline and set ablaze is the only outcome I will accept.

Not all vehicles are truck

Some are all computer now!

These are all over the place in Victoria. It’s still idiots in big pickups that are smoking all the pedestrians. Weird huh?

Like the robass from “The Quest for Saint Aquin”. Not post-apoc at all.

Thanks, Cinco!

So should subtractions!
