can i say "the internet is dead" anyway? sorry, it just seems like there are so many problems with the internet of today - top down authoritarian management may just be what we deserve for a while anyway.
The internet is not dead, it is thriving.
E's passed on! This internet is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the FAANG 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-internet!!
Gone tits up!
I'm not sure that I'm ready to argue that it's worth excising... just that "thriving" and "dead [to me, to us]" are not that dissimilar.
I have idealistic reasons for being so insistent on running linux, etc. and never connected them with a romantic feeling for the internet of yesteryear.
>so many problems Such as? I can only think of the centralisation of rendering engines and website visits, both that emerged out of freedom and can be improved through local governance
