Well, have a look what content is getting the most views. I had no idea someone could be that stupid.

Gopher was not the original protocol of the web but an alternative to HTTP/hypertext. It didn’t get the same traction, however, and has practically been dead for decades.

That’s why almost no ISP is offering it anymore. No one made money from it, so dump it, maybe try to squeeze some cash out of those hwo really want it but better just drop it.

Ze right way to replace “th” is as always ze German one. Zat’s an order! And if zee AI zen sounds like ze Führer it’s just for ze better. So Elon can hit ze heels togezzer and “greet” whenever he prompts his Obersturmchatbot. Jawohl, Scheisskopf! Hollahiaho, Potzblitz und Schweinefricken zugenäht!

…and YouTube is one of the major reasons. The web’s not a fucking TV and if you’re using it as a TV you’ll get stupid even faster than from watching actual TV.

Bad, bad “unknown Dane”, named “Joachim”, “age 34”! How could you! Why do you hate the children so much?! Doesn’t anybody here think of the children at all?

I can’t say I’d understand what mysterious kind of data it might be that’s stored in social media networks but is owned and used by myself. Really - I don’t have any data I’d want to make use of stored in any social network, except banal stuff like my last few listens at Music Brainz. Usually you’re uploading the sort of data you want to be published to social media. They’re not created there, so why would I need a URL other than file:// with a local path attached to access it. I also seriously doubt that klicking “Save as…” really is some secret and complex ritual known only to immortals and the priest caste, nowadays. (I might be wrong here. I just do not have anything to do with mortals or godfood in my daily life.)

But… but, there is no such thing as local storage. There are just other people’s clouds!

“Like”? It literally is.

Big tech droid decries “over-regulation”. More news at 11.

It’s not that it’s not profitable for them.

“Install” includes installing from an app store no matter how closed down and exlusive. The correct term would be “install from other sources than an app store” which is just clunky. Calling it “sideloading” won’t change that nor will calling it “your mom”. Considering how many corporate-speak terms are in use and how many braindead abbreviations and terms shortened to a word’s last syllable -completely distorting the original meaning- generally are in use, the term “sideloading” is pretty irrelevant. Either lose your mind listening to the bullshit people permanently are emitting or just live with it…

Did you mean “web site”? Because, according to Cory Doktorov an app is just a website wrapped into enough IP to make it a felony blocking ads in it.

I’ll catch the flames and say “religious reasons”.

The music industry is dead. There is no music industry anymore. What once was the recording industry is now just a part of the finance industry. That’s why nothing new has been coming up in the (mainstream) music world and that’s why nothing but crap is on the movies. Why discover or produce anything new and risky when you can make good money selling and buing copyrights and bundling them into “finance product”? Why come up with new “products” for cinema when you have an ongoing and predictable(!) stream of profit from the 957th shitty sequel of a well established franchise?
