thats easy, x-window based IRC existed decades ago
Again
Most people
I haven't had a laptop since 2015 or something
MIRC for windows is pretty ancient
Cant use it
Wish I had a laptop or smth
Or pc
You are referring to a time when so few people were on the internet
Because you used to require a decent number of brain cells to use apps
I'm baffled by this insistence that if facebook and twitter went away, suddenly nobody would be able to use a computer
most UI/UX bloat is crap layered on crap so that theres a new product to sell or to support lavish websites that are barely usable
I didnt say that
Dont strawman
Then what is your point
Not for normies
Coolitic was kissed by alien technology n abducted that's why he's preaching like this
no, ive seen normal people struggle with (for example) windows 10
What we're demanding is a level playing field with objective and fairly/equally applied rules, protections against monopolies, protection against political intereference and bias, and appropriate taxation
I'd enjoy FF if Mozilla wasnt gay
I only struggle because I've literally been without a computer for like 6 years n all I did then was download mods for Halo CE look at memes and turn youtube videos into MP3 files
all browsers are shit, currently - you have to pick the one broken in ways that bother you the least
We were talking about the consequences of ending SV altogether
Overnight
the question is what you mean exactly by 'SV'
All the ventures
All the backend
All the management
It'd be like brexit - a shock followed by period of high entropy as people move platforms, and then back to normal
No
you couldnt nuke it without significant fallout, but if your focus is social media you absolutely could hit the big DELETE button right now and people would get by
You dont think someone else can just make youtube?
It'd be going back to a 90% reduction of the internet
Someone else already did
That no1 uses
Key point
If YT didn't exist, that custom would go elsewhere
