Great overview of @pluralistic's current thoughts on what's wrong with the web and what we can do about it.
His list of solutions which include 1. competition, 2. labor, 3. interoperability, and 4. end user computing lays out a holistic path for the years ahead.
Happy to have been in the audience for this talk here in #torino.
@alexhammy@metin@pluralistic Yes, I'm Italian and I can confirm very few people here had Internet access before the 2000s. Peeps started connecting to the internet around 2004/2005-ish and it only became mainstream around 2007/2008 with the social media boom.
@pluralistic Are those instructions on how to use in the placard over the phone? Because nobody under 30 understands WTF to do with this artifact, nestled into an archway that formerly (probably) held a Virgin Mary statue?
