An online exhibition of historically significant Internet artifacts such as the 1977 ARPANET map, the first smiley, the first MP3, the first Amazon order, and more. A nicely curated and designed collection.

We must stop treating people as expendable.

“Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable” has given way to “only sick children should die of measles.”

We’ve embraced eugenics, and many folks don’t even realize it.

Every time you say “did they have a pre-existing condition” when someone dies… you’re making it easier for fascists to eliminate us

Today on my blog, I was posting on here about why Notch (creator of Minecraft) should remain forgotten, and some of the things he did that got him erased from the game, and, since it seems this is something some of us have forgotten about ... I decided to also put it up on my website

Warning for mention of violence and bigotry

I posted more about it on my Bluesky account, but I keep seeing 20-somethings praising Notch, especially on Youtube, and I think it's testament to the fact that the internet really isn't forever, because we had the internet blowing up over Notch being bigoted in every way a person could be, and then 8 or 9 years later nobody even remembers this

I'm working on a fourth part in my series about open social web / fediverse business models. This one's from the perspective of funders: what would I do if I was *funding* the open social web?

Which leads me to this question: how do *you* think the open social web should be funded?

Crypto lending is making a comeback with the SEC standing down. The Nexo platform exited the US after paying $45 million in fines to regulators; now they’ve announced they’re coming back at an event they hosted in Bulgaria titled “Trump Business Vision 2025”, which featured Donald Trump Jr.

@malwaretech @iagox86 @charlvdwalt I remember a Dan Kaminsky talk about how residential ISPs were starting to inject ads into cleartext websites. This would have been maybe 2007 or so.

Imagine if the legal climate then was as it is today. SSL would be illegal. Felony disregard of business model and all (h/t @pluralistic).

Wealth for businesses doesn’t come from customers anymore; it comes from investors. That’s what extreme wealth inequality does. And risk-tolerant investors are all vibes. So basically a business owner’s ability to get rich depends entirely on just how much bullshit they can get a few billionaires to believe.

Greetings and good morning fellow web scrapers

"We have reports that DOGE has tried to enter the copyright office."

Open call for anyone who can scrape the copyright office's database.
This is the official access point: https://cocatalog.loc.gov/
And this is an experimental new entrypoint that looks to be a bit more enumerable: https://publicrecords.copyright.gov/
