society is so fucking ridiculous, man. "sure, a world with better ways of existing would be nice, but people need jobs to live and the only place hiring is the kitten killing factory. there's no way around this; it's just the reality we live in and until it fixes itself independently of our own will or action we're going to need to keep operating this way."

Literally the only thing I want from the internet is some way to put €100 into my browser wallet and when I navigate to a paywall site they can prompt me and say “give us €.50 and we’ll show you the article without ads or a login” and I hit yes and then I read the goddamn article.

I don’t know if this is a W3C thing or a browser thing. I have no idea how to make such a thing happen. But there must be a way to pay people for stuff they put on the internet that doesn’t involve me signing up for 60 different services.

Imagine Acme Mega-Oil invested in a taxi service, and the drivers working for that taxi service were measured not on profits, or revenue, or journeys completed or passenger satisfaction, but on gasoline burned. That's basically Big Tech right now.
