We Need To Rewild The Internet

The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists.

As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.

Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.

I hope you will, too.

And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.

A 10/10 repairability score doesn’t happen by accident. Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads prove that laptops can be powerful, durable, and actually repairable.

Swappable batteries, modular parts, and one of the easiest keyboard replacements we’ve seen. Learn more about what makes these laptops amazing, at the link below.

First time I see #Mastodon mentioned in my French journal #LeMonde, with a link to a Mastodon post like they normally do for twitter!

In this case they link to this post from @netblocks about internet cuts in Iran:

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir

If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

Something has changed about the unprompted responses from people seeing me using the MNT (Pocket) Reform in the last month. I'm not just getting a "whoa this is cool and nerdy", I'm hearing more people, unprompted, say "Oh, this seems important, because maybe we won't be able to get computers we control soon."

It's uncomfortable, in a way, that this is starting to become more of the zeitgeist, because I think it's true.

I really do think we need computers we can control and hack on and advance. Because we're in real trouble if we can't.
