Remember when technology people made Standards instead of Platforms

Email. IRC. SMS. HTML and shit. The fucking internet itself

Those things would never ever be made today. Instead they'd be shitty proprietary apps that probably only work on shitty proprietary hardware and can't be used by anyone without permission from the company that patented them

That's still kinda happening today? With stuff like dat and SSB and ActivityPub. But all of that is super super niche and technical and not at all accessible to the average user (with the exception of AP as of pretty recently). And it just sucks man, web 2.0 is bullshit

Anybody else wants to sabotage their workplace, this is all I did. Those metal prongs used to be straight, connecting to the stand and sending power into the phone. I just bent them a tiny bit so they don't slot in just right anymore, and a few days later the battery ran out

See it? No? That's what's so perfect about it

Really enjoying this new BitTorrent-exclusive original series, the Mandalorian

Hey #FOSS developers: if you want to make software that'll really strike against capitalism, consider building an all-in-one suite of secure, accessible, user-friendly #piracy tools

There's no doubt a HUGE number of folks who'd gladly pirate more if it wasn't such a massive headache and risk. Make it as easy as Limewire used to be (but more secure) and everyone will use it
