So You Thought You Were Lying Low in a Space Forged by an Exodus from Society to Bury your Shoebox of Fake IDs but Nuance Defied Expectation, a Stone's Tale
How do you get to lemmy.world and every.to in a world without a common, public namespace? Should lemmy.world be registered in every country? How do SSL and trust in identity play into all this?
Internet journalism means you can sensationalize hypotheticals like "The IANA may fudge its own rules" and "Money talks" without having to provide a source for those claims.
And why should I be careful choosing a TLD or interpret this as a warning? The Internet isn't breaking, it's changing. All this does is fear monger in favor of one Pope of the Internet.
Yes, Anyone Else has been seeing problems since the days of Bell up through the development and privatization of ICANN and beyond. But outrage over "a TLD is no longer delegated" is stupid shit. Where should ICANN be based and how would that influence its decision making processes?
Splitting off Chrome, Android, or Google Play isn't a meaningful, earnest act of "anti-trust" while AWS is allowed to control the data centers. All the web apps and click tracks are there, ICANN's children, and a growing number of federal departments.
requiring “Google to provide support for educational-awareness campaigns that would enhance the ability of users to choose the general search engine that suits them best.”
Real power move there, I feel the competition returning already.
I think I need a rewatch with this new perspective. I saw Enlightenment to Romanticism through a lens of British stuffiness that gave the veneer of "light hearted", but Ow My Balls makes a little more sense with a layer of mid-Atlantic mud. I already got Boob Comedies from Ren and Stimpy through Family Guy. What I want is hero stories to save Atlas, but the scornful judgment in the movie's framing is a force of Christian conservatism trapping him between two worlds.
I'm on board with the complementarity objective, but dividing society by collar color is a means for distributing things less. Time barriers reinforce worker segmentation by industry. Different rituals and religious traditions evolve on either side, and Romeo and Juliet are lost in their respective crowds. Convinced their problem is too much work, Four Day Workweek Jesus arrives to champion a revolution towards a three day week, and Four Day Workweek Satan points out that arranging and organizing other people's lives (for free!) has always been in support of the same capitalists that the bleeding heart Christians seem so upset about.
There's a lot of optimism in this thread, so if I may imagine Sophie kicking the dust instead of choosing..
Assuming such a thing did happen it'd only happen for a subset of the population, which would then be divided such that one group gets Monday and the other gets Friday while service workers get two more nights of labor.
Here's a random paranoid tangent before lunch! I was reading recently
about the evolution of theater in England over a hundred years from
~1550-1650. Elizabeth ruled during the first part of that interval,
and Shakespeare wrote. His plays included perspectives from wide
slices of society and were performed for royalty and commoners
alike. Elizabeth died and private theatrical commissions began to
outgrow public theater, which according to wikipedia "sustained
themselves on the accumulated works of the previous decades".
Starting in 1642 theaters were closed entirely by act of a Puritanical
Parliament. That ban lasted 18 years and once the audience was Quite
Thirsty, the English Restoration restored theater abstractly and
filled it with bawdy raunch.
Yada yada, Disney then hired a crew of weepy Christian writers in the
20th century to repackage folk tales into Little Mermaid and Iron Man,
which seems parallel enough to Shakespeare retelling Ovid. Film
flourished, and in the early days of broadcast TV anybody could star
in their own very own program. The Writers were on the brink of
delivering us Heroes, but they up and left before they could save the
cheerleader.
Now this age of regurgitated, computer animated-and-written,
crowdsource produced art seems familiar, too. We're filling the gaps
with what we know, and the Appalachians wielding the pen are finding
gaps they didn't know were there. It's odd being here, but my point is that if we
are stuck in a loop then there's the potential that on the horizon is
a period of Hollywood producing a bunch of light hearted Boob
Comedies.
moralizing "diminishing relationships to promote etc" sounds like ayn-rand-libertarian-christian-nationalist-trumper lizard folk valuing the ability to say horrible things to people then hoist blame on them for corrupting society while camouflaged behind a veil of repentant self-exile
"Centralized DNS" is an oxymoron, we'll have to agree to disagree
