Yes, bow to me, the grand architect of geocities Dragon Ball Z pages.

I personally blame the iPhone. Shit all started going downhill from then

Never thought I would say we need to decentralize the Internet

It was supposed to make everything better, we were sure of it.

We were horribly wrong. Sorry.

In our defense, corporations ruined the world wide web. It still has so much potential if they weren’t involved.

Hell yeah, my geocities Nine Inch Nails fan site helped build the Internet

People on here think too highly of themselves and the Fediverse. The overwhelming majority of people here don’t know the basics of programming and of the few that do, the vast majority of them don’t make any contributions. Even to those who do contribute, comparing themselves or the Fediverse WWW and the people who built it rather arrogant, no?

At the end of the day, the Fediverse would be better off going through a reality check. It’s a niche alternative to mainstream social media that trades content for privacy. The tech is neat and the idea behind it is noble, but that’s about it. It’s not going to revolutionize the internet any time soon.

As a call center employee, the most inexplicably difficult part of my job is asking an older person to navigate to our website. When I give them the 9 letter address, it almost always results in a google search for them and the ordeal of having them try to pick out our website from the sponsored results brings joy to advertisers everywhere.

Im sorry but I did not contribute to this in any meaningful way.

well I feel seen

I would like to deny this, but I can’t.

Mario teaches typing and the Oregon Trail on 5.2499" disks were just a dream.

Software developers, of all people, should be used to the idea of complex projects not turning out quite the way they envisioned them. We’re still building the World Wide Web, and the Fediverse is part of it. I don’t even think we can call it a proper 1.0 version until every person has access to it, and we’re still quite a ways out from that. After we hit that milestone, there will still be an avalanche of maintenance and QoL improvement work to do. I don’t think the Web is something we’ll finish building anytime soon, if ever.

Bitch I’m 36 and here on this Lemmy ish to meet the women who will give birth to my first through sixth wives. I have plans for seven onwards. Illuminati shit, y’know? But what I do for the CIA is I easily discredit myself by shaking a loose vestibule of fecal matter from my pant leg before providing education on any number of fun subjects like how MKULTRA was our initial enlightenment program that went and evolved its memetic ass into Star Gate by adding a larger counterintelligence role to the project and this has since and perpetuatively splintered into the modern Anonymous whatchsmacallit or whatever the kids are rizzing their pants about today, and then I follow that completely true series of facts with a rendition of the arts:

I make more money than you doing this. Anyways, have a nice day! I have d-tier sex crimes to go boast about. Toodles!

for 40+ people who built the WWW then sold it to the enshitifiers, which they now regret
