Your analogy is terrible. GET requests can be denied.

That’s how google set up this relationship with their users.

“What goes around comes around,” shouldn’t be surprising.”

Idk 2003-2009 was very much the days of the sort of malware and spyware that showed developers in a company didn’t deserve rights anymore

Exactly! It makes sense in context.

If AI isn’t either of those things, then what is it?

Wait which innovations were these?

Over long enough scales there is no conservation of energy because the universe does not have temporal symmetry.

> Waiting ages for basic serif pages to load over your 56k (or 128k connection if you were rich and had ISDN)? Nope.

> Downloading tracks from KaZaa/WinMX/Limewire/Napster for a million hours only for them to be some warped shit that the studios planted? Nope.

I was there too, and realized that these sort of reductions in speed made one far more mindful of what one was doing

> Almost everything about using the Internet is better today IMO. Faster, prettier, more secure and more cross-platform

This too is particularly debatable. Applications are thin wrappers around web browsers, there are constant annoyances (want to receive notifications for this webpage? Not now? We’ll ask you later.) I bet if I pulled someone from 2005 they’d look at a lot of things on a current website and see malware. And is it really more cross platform when we’ve achieved that by having less platforms?

My traveling taught me that people are the same everywhere, but now that I know that, I no longer want to to travel just travel.

It’s more of a reminder of that

Nah, personally? I know it’s possible, I’ve done it, and I just do not care anymore.

not worth it

I’ve had the idea of recreating tv channels on my plex server by using tv guide data from the late 90s early 00s

The insurmountable part of that project would be getting the guide data.

You don’t know what other people will want in the future

Why is it less cynical, what does the scale of the US have to do with it?

> One is that not all of christendom subscribes to the view that it was literally one man, some take a less literal view.

That is such a tiny minority I’ve never even heard of that until now

It’s really not, I’ve had disproportionately more USB-C ports go dodgy because there was repeated tangential force on the cable plug than I had with lightning

Cool you have more than the one canard from IBM for five computers that became triple the amount?
