just cus computers were a mistake at first doesn't mean that they need to always be that way.UNIX gave us every piece we need to promulgate world peace in 1971.

Sometimes I wish I could start more conversations on the Web. I understand how annoying reply-guys can be, but I feel like social media (including much of the Fediverse) is really more of a broadcast medium wearing a name tag.Discord was wonderful for a time because it was a place where people interested in chatting went. Then bots and forum channels and game streaming and all that just changed the nature of that app into yet another tool for consuming broadcasting.
But a big part of what made the early Internet so fun was that it was filled with real people who were there to learn, and experience community. BBSes and forums were so popular because it really fostered a sense of being in a small town.

Newsletter: The recent Second Circuit decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is only the latest battle in the war on libraries and the freedom to read.@molly0xfff I did some volunteer work building a library in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, and I learned from that experience that most Americans have this impression that a library is simply where the free books live — but in reality, they serve so much beyond books. For entire cohorts, their only desktop Internet is at the library. We checked out tools, vacuums, and auto repair equipment. We ran classes for older women to learn how the stock market works.
Like you said, critical.
