In ye olde days software was obscenely expensive. That $74 is $260 inflation adjusted. Imagine losing your Word Perfect disks to an accident. That was a $2000 investment in today's dollars. Which means Zork II cost more than the latest Zelda. There was a reason people tied up phone lines for hours to get on the local BBS.

Mass adoption won't come easily. People treat social media just like broadcast and print mass media: they want to follow big names and brands. It's a change in mindset looking for niche communities instead. Look at Bluesky, it didn't really take off until big Twitter accounts moved and brought their minions with them.

The D.U.M.B. conspiracy is a jolly good read as you browse the interweb. Evidently we have nuclear powered boring machines that just melt away the earth leaving glassy walls.

I sick of the red state garbage. Nearly every "red" state has "blue" cities. Stop blaming entire populations, age groups or other demographics. You're just falling for the divide and conquer message they want to use against everyone.

PDF gear is free (for now) and excellent

 

Well done essay summarizing various motives behind the current administration and its backers. Ties all the billionaire bunker-owner company-town / network state crypto-AI fascism together in a little bow with the more traditional religious variety.
