Reginald“We briefly had a library of alexandria and then fed it into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp back to us at a premium.”
Nazo@raganwald @ilovecomputers The worst thing for me is knowing that it doesn't have to be this way. You can't stop corporations from being greedy, but each step on this road was paved with people just taking whatever convenience was offered and not putting their foot down any time when it might be more inconvenient.
It's amazing how much is given up for even just a small convenience sometimes...

@ilovecomputers @raganwald Yep, that sums it up pretty nicely.
