The tip is still stuck in there and it's been three years :P

This video Mori Calliope dropped last night really speaks to me and makes me think of all the friends that have supported me through rough times.

That makes me think about what we've been able to do in the last 22 years

Oh looks like we finally know the a[BLEEP]le who started the decline in Google Search quality.

That's a prime example of short-term "let's make the line go up" mentality at the expense of the long term quality of the product.

Sorry yo Google still has more money than you ever will yo

Yeah and then you see things on social media like this:

"my wife googled “united airlines customer service” the other day and the AI summary seemed legit enough so she called the number that it listed. she got like 30 seconds into the call before they were asking for her BANK INFO. a scammer had gotten their number prominent enough that the AI grabbed it."

Man what the hell ever happened to the internet

2003-2004 were the last great years. The subsequent two decades have just been one corporate-driven scorching of the digital earth.

I THINK WE NEED TO BRING BREAK PERSONAL BLOGS AND WEBRINGS, AND USE RSS AND ACTIVITYPUB TO LET PEOPLE JUST SEE ALL THE CONTENT IN A PERSONAL FEED FROM A SPECIAL BROWSER WEBPAGE AND LIKE / COMMENT ON THINGS FROM THERE. LIKE A REALLY DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK

That's the kind of thinking that gets you pushed out of windows, Professor :P

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think one of the easiest ways back to the old internet is to restart web rings. But for that to work people need to have personal sites

BAKE THE "BLOGGING" COMPONENT INTO THE BROWSER

Are we seriously brainstorming how to try and save the internet lol

It's given me everything I have, so yes. We should all be thinking about that.
