Decentralization is key to so many benefits, privacy, security, data conservation, no one "owner", individual rights. The WWW has features but has not matured them this way. I remember P2P as a nascent idea pre .onion, RSS, blockchain ad infinitum. This can progress us greatly.
"I'm not on Twitter, nor Facebook, or LinkedIn, or any of these systems...They suck in your soul and they will not let you go. Try to get out of any of them, you will see. They are just like some religions where apostasy is punished by death." - Robert Cailliau (Co-inventor, WWW)
.@naval: I want to be totally platform-independent. If Twitter goes away, if Twitter deplatforms me, or if someone else deplatforms Twitter, I don't want to lose my followers or profile.

I hate hate hate the term user. I have succumbed to #UX in this regard, but a user is to me a derogatory comment in the sense of "that person really uses people for their own gain." Fan is better but fans can be shallow. One idea might be "friends" or "folks" - general. Words!

I like the joke. Doctors are mostly very limited in my experience which is part of why as a child I started reading every DSM, every Merck manual and later on, actual studies. I was almost a research virologist. Too many dead friends from "Gay Cancer" and like lab science too.

I was a fan before Shame of Life. Heard it on the radio while driving of all things and realized Butthole Surfers, when on-point, are musically and lyrically anthemic of so much of USA subculture. I'm with ya! :)

Dave's post and under construction image made me LOL and also reminded me the Web itself is still very very much under construction! And "click here" is still used, and hand coded flat files are awesome but did not scale to mass publications/apps/ and sites. Thoughts?
Really looking forward to this. I started working on the web in 1994 in time to attend the 2nd International World-Wide Web Conference in Chicago. It was all hand-coded "Click Here" and this:

Hehe. I was first diagnosed in the 80s as CFS/ME and started a stupport group. Everyone but me and maybe one other of the patients there is now dead. All blood, brain and other real fucking bad illnesses. And now Covid and "Chronic Fatigue" are linked? This is the viral age IMO.
SO much to learn, and so many ways we need to look at everything isn this world more deeply and look to as much fact over judgement. I always answer the stupid "pain level" medical question 1-10 as "All the way to 11" it pisses 'em off and good. Pain doesn't measure as 1, 2, etc.
Me, I've learned never to make assumptions about others ways of being or desire for privacy. In fact, I do the opposite. I post when the awful happens as part of my desire to show others as if it's that bad I'm alone or in hospital or hospice. Everyone must decide their comfort.

Oh my dear you said it in one word. Mothers.
They don't leave us as long as we live and maybe after who know! Oy vey.

At that comment not sure whether to laugh or cry because I can't figure it out for my own being either you do seem to come across as stronger than I do at times it's been a struggle that very few adults aren't experiencing! All the love

Crying joyous tears, so happy, and I'm gonna have to promise my best as of NOW! Slides are coming along well. Anyone using meetup like @_collab_lab have any advice about smoothest transitions from slides, attendees and me to live? Thank you. Your support is *everything* xo/m

Yay! I'm excited and working on slides and audience participation etc. It's harder in the virtual world to make transitions like that smoothly indeed. Any advice?

It's in the 40F range here. Not cold, refreshing and with the humidity, nice. But when the wind gets going it is definitely a winter storm. Not a winter person myself, but where I am now "summer" is a misnomer. Drought and fire-ridden disaster of climate change? That works for me
You are lucky to know how to acknowledge your life's fortunes as well as balance that with your life's pain. It's an extraordinary balance that I myself could surely benefit from advice and help myself in correcting. Any advice?

That's very interesting thank you for the word. I wonder if inter is truly correct it's in part correct but it's also often the outer influences that can play disruptive roles in our trauma arcs through generations. I do love words and yours is very helpful in description thanks!

I like the ominous weather and the beauty and Grace of these enormous palm trees which are very tall. Yet they bend in the wind when needed. That's called adaptation.

Geolocate me please? I think I'm in #Tucson but everything looks different. The sky is flat grey, and a clear liquid is falling from the sky, the smell is water on creosote and the dusty desert floor. #weather #Arizona #ClimateChange #Enivronment #Ecology and #joy FTW!
