Capitalism kills ingenuity.
I wonder how many people don't realize this?
The Internet was, originally, funded by the government like public libraries.
ARPANET and MILNET were military. We were seeing so much use from universities and libraries of these new networks, that it was important to connect more computers in non-military ways. So, the public, and universities, funded and built the internet.
Through the mid-90s it was run very much like a library. Nerds were mostly concerned that the information was free and accessible to everyone. People worked for free.
Everyone was encouraged to create and host their own webpage. People were hosting servers, in their bedrooms, and that was largely considered a good thing!
Anything a corporation did on the internet was suspect. No one wanted anything about making money on the system. Spam came first, and was immediately treated like an intrusion from the enemy.
For the longest time, there was no way to buy anything on the internet because good encryption wasn't available to the average users. Even when we got PGP it was clunky, and no one would ever consider sending a credit card number to a company with it.
Everything good on the internet came from that period.
The corporations invaded a free, open, system built on the backs of the people who were building a free, open, forum.
They took that and twisted it into a theme park. A garish, tasteless, money pit that is unhealthy in any more than the smallest doses.
illustration i finished a couple days about neocities, the indie web, and fostering genuine human interaction online. images for this were collected by starting on my own neocities, and following links from sites to other sites to 'map' the 'personal web.' screenprinting it onto shirts next week

my professor allows “coordinate system devices” so this is basically studying, right?

dark academia and co are nice and all but can we please introduce tech academia or something? could really need some help romanticising my laptop not managing to run xampp and notepad++ at the same time right about now

computer science is a super misleading name btw
it's neither abt "computers" nor "science"
it's just a twisted, twisted form of maths
Algebra is the girl you have a crush on but Calculus is her older brother who's going to beat you up with his best friend, Trigonometry
