   compared to its original goals, the internet is an absolute resounding failure.
   
   there's no real way around that.

     > the semantic web
     never happened. RDF died and turned in to mulch. then it got reinvented, partly, by facbook and twitter as ways to keep you in the doomscroll instead of as ways for your computer to help you understand the page. 🇫
     
     > connecting everything to everything
     never happened. IP6 is still a fuck. we ran out of IP4. everything is firewalled. nobody SIPs to each other. you just go to zuckbook and get the corporate moderated experience. or discord and get the furry-chinese corporate moderated experience. i can't actually fucking just call your phone.
     
     > routing around censorship
     it actually doesn't. we centralized around pirate hubs and shit. and they just sued those. "be in russia" isn't protection.
     
     > separation of content and style
     absolutely failed that one up the ass.
     
     it is painful to know that everything greybeards did, was completely colonized :blobcatpensive2:

     "IP6 is still a fuck. we ran out of IP4."

     It is hard to imagine that I took an IPv6 course in 2001, because "it will soon take over, and I need to understand it".

     And almost 20 years later (~2019), my ISP at the time provided "dynamic IPv6 addresses", and I went "WTF?! Every device has a reserved IPv6 address on every network!"
