Ultimately, mainframes and thin clients are going to win. And it will be tremendously bad for your freedom.

UI & UX

Police want to talk about you? "I don't talk to police. I will review your questions with a lawyer."

Police want to talk about someone else? "I don't cooperate with police investigations."

Your instinct is to talk and the police will take advantage of that, don't worry about being rude.

Hmmm... #YewTube is broken. No way I'm going back to #youtube though. They (Google) messed the whole thing up. It's a malicious site exchanging abuse for some bandwidth.

Remember kids:

Also, can we make a point of always calling it Microsoft #GitHub from now on please? Thanks.

I implemented CGI support for gmnisrv and wrote a simple tool to look up POSIX man pages over Gemini:

Projects that say "we can stay on #github because we're not like #youtubeDL really" are as foolish and selfish like so-called 'journalists' who said #wikileaks "was different" and "not my problem". #deletegithub

Just saw an article about ad revenue and print media in Switzerland. In 2009 it was CHF 1’925’000’00 – and ten years later it was CHF 924’000’000. – and they say more or less this lost ad revenue now goes to Facebook and Google. From what I remember, in theory half the income of print was ads, so about one fourth of the former print media income goes to Facebook and Google. It is both scary because of the money being siphoned away and because of these dependency then and now. Gah!
