So, THIS is happening

"Rewild the Internet: How to Resist Big Tech" will be published by Simon & Schuster in NY and Bloomsbury in London.

Every bit of power we take from Big Tech takes it away from autocrats like Trump. Showing how is what I'm doing to meet this moment.

Victim of its own success I think. Bandwidth greed or design laziness or both, pretty quickly devices would go through lengths to monopolize the available bandwidth. Even if you look at the internet as a whole, specs such as BBR are like, screw shared resources, give me everything.

There's a clue in how there's essentially zero bundle offers for music/TV/movies - everyone is trying to "corner the market" with their own platform. Closest I've come to "buying" is to get physical media like CD/DVD. Usability sucks though.

Tintin leans into the frame and says, β€œCaptain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

Word of this morning is β€˜procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.
