deleting google overnight would pretty much destroy the internet, parts of it alone less so. ditto amazon, you have no idea how much DNS is handled by route 53
As time goes on I have this certain feeling that the digital services will be included in Trade deals, you don't put tariffs on our wines, and we will not put tariffs on our digital services.
Literally
None of you guys would survive on a computer without heavy UX
I code for a living, darling, i'd be fine
Fine
*most* of you guys
The only reason I havent deleted Facebook yet was because of family, but I'm moving em off it and just trying to communicate through email n calling them more n such. Twitter is useless fr. So useless. Instagram should have kept independent n not bought off byFacebook, I'm gonna save all my photos n move off there soon enough
Oh really?
It'd be a shame
If it got deleted
You realise Google Facebook and Twatter don't have the monopoly on user interface
what does "heavy UX" even mean?
Before you could move em off of it
Lol
we had working window managers in the 80s.
web browser in the mid 90s
That'll be a *long* discussion
But just remember how computer illiterate people were back then
And they havent gotten that much better
Like
Imagine getting everyone here to setup IRC
90% of these guys would get lost
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
