I would love to see a return to curated link collections. Each person’s hobbies and expertise represented in links to the places they contribute, the repositories they are part of, the resources they depend on, and the information sources they consider reliable.

If you added some very basic support for verifying and following links that change, and something to prevent unauthorized AI bot scraping, and shipped it in a docker container that would run on small hardware like this, maybe an alternative grassroots internet could re-emerge.

If you had asked me during the Obama administration I would have said this a chance of becoming law. Today I give it 0.002%.

Folks aren’t buying anything except food and gas. We aren’t out here building new gaming PCs.

Some of these ham fisted age verification checks ask you to upload photos of your government ID

“celebrations would bring revenue of up to €48 million to local businesses, via the 90 private jets set to carry guests to nearby airports”

Don’t worry about your problems or environmental impact or the billionaire class. Just think of all the revenue your boss is going to make!

Seems like a Trojan horse to get users to grant access to their encrypted chats?

He can fuck right off with all his worm-brained ideas.

Wow that turn signal sound is annoying. Why does it even need to make a sound in a car that’s supposed to be driving itself?

Stupid TVs FTW. If you can’t buy them stupid, give them a WiFi lobotomy.

With a functioning federal government I would agree with you. But unfortunately they have an open checkbook right now, with no accountability or critical oversight.

Are these guys trying to break my bullshit meter? The needle only goes so high dammit.

Yes but those stupid prompts also cost Spam Altman money… which makes my cold iron heart glow.

Too damn much for the value it creates.
