Look at this shit (first paragraph of body of article):

“Automatic watches are admired for their intricate mechanics and timeless appeal, but even the finest timepieces can sometimes run fast or slow. If you’ve noticed your automatic watch gaining or losing time, you’re not.”

First search result on DDG. Thank you, automatic watch expert and real person Hnin Oo Thazin. We may need a whole ass new internet.

    We may need a whole ass new internet.

    I’d be down if we left the clearweb to the corpos and moved all the human interaction to maybe something like Usenet or I2P.

    I would say I’d even be down to learn Gopher protocol, but I looked up their website and they have their own memecoin, so I’m hesitant based off that alone. Even if they say it has no intrinsic value.

      You don’t think they wouldn’t ruin that too if that was by some miracle where all the human capital went?

      Their plan is to make your internet useless and your PC unaffordable so you have to subscribe to their AI and ask it everything; so they can know everything about you and get ahead of stories that make them look bad, from time to time maybe even kill people.

      You will own nothing, and they will force you to like it.

      https://geminiprotocol.net/ (has nothing to do whatsoever, and predates, the Google AI product with the same name)

      Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. That’s not a new idea, but it’s not old fashioned either. It’s timeless, and deserves tools which treat it as a first class concept, not a vestigial corner case. Gemini isn’t about innovation or disruption, it’s about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We’re not out to change the world or destroy other technologies. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader’s privacy, attention and bandwidth.
