This isn’t reddit. You don’t have to do that.

Burn it all the fuck down.

A government that doesn’t take care of its people is a government begging to be ousted.

And D&D and ICP and so many other things wonderful to me

They rail and they rally and burn books you see

“We must protect kids in the Land of the Free”

Most nights I fall asleep wondering what a world where most people were like that would look like.

A shitton better than the one we have I’ll say that right now.

As a progressive Christian who hates everything MTG stands for, this is kind of disheartening to hear…

Well, back in the day you’d have a series of different services, usenet, irc, email, and for articles (at the time usually scholarly articles) you could use Gopher or follow certain usenet groups to find FTP sites hosting the docs.

So if we didn’t have a unified web browser, and those technologies advanced at the pace of other similar services, here is how I see it:

Most services would be accessed by discrete apps, one for your email, one for your chat, one for your remote and local documents.

We wouldn’t see the proliferation of siloed services, platforms like Facebook that offer all of these services but only within their subscribers. They just simply wouldn’t be able to compete with the established services or add nuance or extra value.

Discord would also likely have come into existence a lot earlier and unified some of those services, but again if they chose to silo it as they are doing now, they wouldn’t gain market dominance over already existing wide communities.

Without the profit incentive, existing services have no reason to tie their users to their platform or inhibit cross platform interactions.

Streaming services would still come into existence and fragment and silo like they are now, but that’s only because of the cost of providing reliable HD video content isn’t easily dispersed across unsiloed userbases.

Web advertisements would be non-existant but you’d still get spots in podcasts and videos.

Frankly I think it would be a better internet than what we have now.

There is another solution, the French pioneered it.

I don’t think we got all of that shitbag’s horcrux’s and expect his face to show up on the back of trump’s disturbingly square head any day now.

If the good die young, then he might just be immortal.

Sorry no, objective reality is objective.

What shocks me is why he is still a free man living a life of luxury that most of us can’t even imagine.
