  • I actually don’t agree with this, because while Facebook, X, Amazon, Ai and Google are all the front of the internet, they still aren’t all of it. The small web is still churning along with selfhosted blogs and neocities, selfhosted apps are everywhere, some, like Disroot, even open to the public.

    People willingly choose to use this garbage and let it into their lives. There’s millions of sites and services to see, but people stick with familiarity.

    It’s like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there’s other restaurants everywhere.














  • I love open source, but people kinda assume you have unlimited time to sink until this stuff.

    And if I have to listen to one more person try and explain to me why I have the wrong router, mdns, multicast, IPv6 settings, etc, I’m gonna lose it. One person is like, “buy Uniquiti, that plays nice with Apple Home and never use your ISP router”. The next person is like “you idiot, why would you think Ubiquiti + Apple would ever work stick with your IPS router”. Even if they’re right, it’s a failure of Apple to design a system that requires an IT person to setup.

    Maybe if you had more time to sink into your Apple problem…
