2 reasons imo.

1. Chrome inertia. Everyone who’s locked into it from the says it was legitimately faster.
2. Every time it gets mentioned, it’s supporters like to “no true Scotsman” the original project and suggest their preferred fork instead.

They don’t use the same kind :(

Gonna tell my kids this app is Apollo and pour one out for those that didn’t make it.

IMO people will come around. Not quickly and not without a bunch of good things about the internet dying off… but eventually an equilibrium will be reached.

It got monetized. Read up on a Google published white paper “Attention is all you Need” from 2017 and you’ll understand how it all went to shit so quickly.

The Holocaust. Khmer Rouge. The Rape of Nanjing. Global Warming.

See? Words are easy.

It isn’t that people don’t care enough, it’s that they only have so much to go around and there is no cause so important that you get to dictate someone else’s state of mind 24/7 just because you say tragic words. Keep the fire burning but don’t think you get to sneer at others just because they’re burned out at the moment.

Switching operating system is cheaper…

Aw :(

Don’t know why you’re being piled on. I’ve been on Reddit since the bad old days and I’ve only been temp banned (from certain subs at that) once, maybe twice lol. New accounts every yearish, fought about politics, called people names I probably shouldn’t have… I dunno what people are doing to catch all these bans.

It’s a corporate hellscape nowadays but there have always been rules about decorum.

I’m with you, just pointing out the barriers.

There’s no free bandwidth just sitting around and waiting to be exploited, Internet 2.0 will have to be discreet or expensive.

Then you’re just going to have the FCC regulating the high-throughput bandwidths until you’re left with the unregulated ones for consumers… like LoRa… and Meshtastic lol.

Going to be hard since the hardware sitting between all those wires cost money to run and… that’s pretty much what ISPs get paid do. They’re assholes who shouldn’t have a say in what goes through those connections but their job isn’t redundant, someone has to do it to maintain those connections.

Meshtastic? LoRa?

Or do you mean something like VPN tunneling?
