Shoq 🌿It wasn’t journalists, tech bros, and influencers who made the Internet a thing. It was librarians, scientists, educators, and programmers.
Codhisattva@shoq the day the NSF allowed commerce was the day everything began to change.
Mike Fraser@Codhisattva @shoq Ya we'd still be using Novell Netware at work with a Domino server for in house email and you'd be the most popular person in you're Usenet group.
@Codhisattva @shoq Sorry my fidonet gateway only relays internet email, and only once a day. Somebody tried a dial up isp in this timeline but it went broke fairly quickly.
@Codhisattva I know of gob.mx, but MX.gov? This is important. Link please?
@shoq I’m just making up stuff for the fantasy timeline that prevented the commercialization of the internet. My person What If …? The NSF reigned supreme.
@Codhisattva So there is no such project at all? There is something very much like what you suggested in Mexico. That’s gob.mx
@shoq I can’t see gob.mx without thinking it’s some new Bluth family fiasco.
But seriously I wish there was a dot us equivalent. Absolutely great governance.
@Codhisattva @shoq It's the 90s I live in Winnipeg Manitoba and work in a warehouse. College is a privilege and the USPS is in a land far away. Fido net it is.
