An you're sittin there like

I pulled an extension for this bullshit?

Wouldn't be nice if we could have a descentralized social network that works and behaves the way a M.U.D does? with spartial references for browsing content and gild or clan systems to bring people together bassed on common interest and self determination? It wouldn't be a game, but it certanly will look like one, content may be deliver in the form of live chat instead of fixed messages to boost it's social ecosystem, with commands to interact with other users.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long skirt and a short shorts and a long shorts and a long cigarette and machete fingernails and a a tack Kitty.

Twitter's 'X liked a thing' feature is really handy, because it warns me that the timeline has reverted to Computational Propaganda Mode and that I need to manually switch it back to Honest Mode.

@fribbledom If only there were buildings literally filled with books, and information specialists there who could help you find the book you needed! We could call the libro-aeries, like a roosting place for books.

@fribbledom Or, for some of us:
“What is Foo?”
“I dunno! Put it in the notebook and we will go look it up at the library this afternoon.”

This is an ominous time. Napster is long dead. Aaron Swartz, too. Software is bad, but it doesn't have to be. From BitTorrent to Mastodon, distributed systems leverage the power of many to astonishing effect. Among archivists, pirates reign.
