@Moon the point i'd draw your attention to that may not be obvious in a cursory survey is the read/write nature of thing that, btw, was part of the original www concept.

I propose the Self programming language as an intellectual model for a "neo web" (as opposed to post-web): an extensible VM with an extensible UI. The code of any aspect of the system can be rewritten while it is running.

If you're gonna be bored on a plane or something, check out https://selflanguage.org/ .

@Moon cheers, mate:

@Moon a mixed blessing.

@Moon did you ever have a chance to play with Hypercard?

@Moon sorta polishing turds / staying on the same road in different ruts.

I think the browser needs to be "decentralized" back into a document / layout engine, and the media features spun out as standards-compliant extensions.

As to how we do it, yeah, we need a total rethink.

Or, fuck the web -- native apps with sockets for stuff. Then "the web" is too hard for 80% of retarded developers and might get a tiny bit better.

A browser is like the blind men and the elephant:

JWZ wandered in the dark until he reached up and touched its rectum. He said, "I think it's a a source of great knowledge, let's expand it to do email and calendaring."

Brendan Eich ran into its cock face-first and said, "whatever it is, we need to stuff Scheme into it, but since I'm not allowed, fuck you all: meet Javascript."

Bill Gates reached up and touched its sweaty scrotum and said, "let's rebuild our applications and desktop ui on it."

@Moon are you saying that you're looking to hire a CSS developer?

@Moon artificially so. Look at how the browser went from a document engine with plugins for media, to a self-contained lowest-common-denominator all-but-the-os with 3d graphics and sound...

That bloat pushed the core rendering engine out and replaced it with space-program-scale operations available only to institutions or companies that could support hundreds of developers.

flipping the mattress would be a lot more difficult than normal. I understand that I am a perverted weirdo because this was literally my first thought.

@coolboymew corporate incest eventually leads to corporate derangement. Be looking for Doritos Cool Ranch Pepsi next.

@coldacid @alex @tomey @realcaseyrollins is that someone who used to do such things on fedi and amenable to throwing in on this thread?

@alex @realcaseyrollins ok... picture this:

The OpenCSAM Consortium.

@tomey @alex @realcaseyrollins could also work like a distributed query system where you could get feedback from different hash tables hosted by different people (eg, no "single central authority", and the ability add objectionable materials (and tag the objection).)

There's no reason not to have several proposals...

... but paying sources (LE records/assembly time) seems reasonable: but fuck giving billware money for a necessary public service built on publicly funded data.

@alex @realcaseyrollins so... there's public money and time in this project...

@alex @realcaseyrollins question: where did they get the source images to make the hashes, or the hashes themselves?

@victor @Salaru if you think about it, it's not all bad. I mean, do you lose sleep knowing these people are self-selecting out of the gene pool and longevity?
