The “bigger systems” pre-corporate internet (and somewhat in the transition) were sometimes fairly large forums dedicated to one niche (sometimes multiple, but in the same general field). Once Reddit specifically came along after YouTube/Google laid the groundwork for the corporatization of the Internet, it centralized basically every forum to one website. Now even today, forums still exist, but it’s nowhere near what they once were.

That’s also not to mention sites like Geocities allowing basically everyone to have their own website (which of course, is another version of centralization, but with much more control given to its users).

And it’s not like corporations didn’t try to take control of the internet before 2005/2006. Just look at AOL in the 90s for a prime example, along with Flash, ActiveX/Internet Explorer, Quicktime/Realplayer browser plugins for video, etc.

Without capitalism, we would still see the internet grow, as even in the late 90s, it felt as if you were being left behind in society if you didn’t have an internet connection, but the way in which it grew would look much more akin to how it looked in the 90s and early 2000s.

The internet sure was far from perfect back then, but it was ours’.

Same thing they’ve always done: nothing.

He said that in the same tweet that he announced the US attacked Iran.

Yes, but in order to properly learn our lesson to prevent this from happening again, we need to call out the root of the problem instead of/in addition to the tools or symptoms.

It wasn’t before already?

A very limited scope of the filesystem instead of exposing the whole thing. Android does the same thing, and so does every system that doesn’t allow the user to have root access.

The Heritage Foundation was founded in 1973, which just so happens to be the dividing line in this graph.

Reagan was the first president that really allowed the Heritage Foundation to go wild.

There’s a good video about their history here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eeCPRD0Hgg

November, you say? I wonder what happened in November that caused Netanyahu to be emboldened to the point of planning Iranian assassinations…

The arcade was the original version. There’s also a really good modern port on the Commodore 64 with a banging soundtrack called “Ghosts n Goblins Arcade”

Or if he actually likes tan suits.

The working class are kept uneducated on purpose. College costing rediculous amounts of money, making barely enough money to pay rent working a full time job (let alone paying bills or groceries), leaving very little time for an education, the Republicans working to privatize K-12 schools, having the public school cirriculums treat Ronald Reagan as if he’s God, Oklahoma teaching that the 2020 election was stolen, 24 hour corporate news cycle with Fox being the most popular, essentially teaching racism/sexism/etc. instead of blaming the people who have money and power, anti-union propaganda, etc.

Can’t have a worker uprising if workers don’t even think they’re being exploited.

Popcorn is just a method of eating butter or other oil-based flavours.

Or use Flavacol instead of salt if you want movie theatre popcorn.

Too close to his birthday /s

No, it’s only possible to talk to Ba-Kok, praise be His name, when the planets align.

You can also use an immutable Linux distro (SteamOS being the most popular) and install software with flatpak, which is sandboxed using bubblewrap.

I’m going to have to try this next time I make tea.

Lol. Before 3D consoles, if a game ran less than 60 FPS (or 50 in Europe), it would literally run slower because the game logic was tied to the framerate and consoles didn’t have a framebuffer.
