  • See this sort of copypasta always works best when it’s written like the layers of an onion: peeling back the layers one by one to gradually reveal the writer’s true motives, before building itself back up into an equally ridiculous defense of those true motives. As it stands, unfortunately, this copypasta — though it has its moments — is only the pretense, the façade, the tatemae: it has no clear “crack in the mask” moment, certainly no “burst of the dam” moment, it’s setup without a punchline. Which means it’s a B rate copypasta at best.







  • I’m not too tech savvy so you’ll have to excuse me, but something I’ve been thinking… The impossibility of making new web browsers from scratch that can follow the huuuuge Web standard is basically because people expect to be able to do “more or less everything” right in their browsers nowadays, right? So maybe the “solution” here is to have more of a culture around doing things offline, torrenting instead of streaming, and then when doing things over the Internet, just having more specialized programs (and protocols?) instead of having an Everything Program for the Everything Protocol.
