@sj_zero @rms @mangeurdenuage man, just yesterday I saw elementary school kids looking at each others smartphones while coming back from school. Holy shit. They probably also had newer phones than I do

I've said this elsewhere but Android and iOS are a toy OS that's immensely crap. Apps are the devil made for the lowest common denominator and usually designed to box you into an environment so they can steal as much data as possible and social media is tailored to be addictive, possibly very dangerous to a developing mind. You more or less cannot do any serious computing on a phone

It was thought that the subsequent generations would be able to interact with technology more and more, and now kids don't even understand folder structure

Hell, the new gen interact with technology so much, yet they're so inept because of the toy computers that hold their hands all the way that they've beaten our grandparents generation in being caught by scams

We're far from the 2000s Internet utopia we used to have, now the corpos and big data mostly own it and they don't care about it

Hell, talking about the 2000 utopia. Back then as a kid I used to browse countless pokémon fan websites in French. In freaking French, thousands of these existed, what should be a smallish language only spoken in a handful of countries, yet there were thousands of them made by kids and young adult. Nowadays the website WYSIWYG tools haven't been updated in 12-15 years and Seamonkey Composer is utterly broken to the level where i can't even ctrl + F on Linux in it. How the hell am I supposed to make a website without being a programmer nowadays? Even something simple

The current status quo is shit. Make the Internet great, like the 2000s used to be
