Maybe we all need to move to mesh networks. IDK. Whatever we do, we will no longer be on the cutting edge like we were; the popular option will always be with the algorithm. We'll have to be content with not just the margins that we're used to, but also the role of backwardness.

I don't know what the solution is to this. All convenient ways of accessing other users online is controlled by websites/whatever that require as much attention as possible to financially survive; which the feed/atomized alforithm model has proven to be most successful at doing.

People have had their approach to the Internet changed. Used to the Internet was a space you explored; now it is a feed that has content presented to you by a guiding algorithm. This space that was once free of commercialism has been totally assimilated into commodity production (your data).

I'm not sure if I'm just older, and these spaces simply don't reach out to me in the way they did my younger self. But it feels to me that these spaces largely do not exist anymore online. You log into an MMO these days, and the global chat is silent. Everyone is in a private discord call at best.

It's like that feeling you have with a particular friend group that cannot be emulated in another friend group; but instead it exists within and as a part of a chatroom, or a console's voice chat party, or an MMO's communal area. This is what would absorb me in the computer for hours at a time.

When I was older (2008) and I gained regular access online, it was a social and intellectual outlet that actually *felt* like a different space. It's hard to explain what I mean by *space* here without sounding pseudo-philosophical; there were many of these spaces and they were each distinct.

I was raised in a very secluded area, with very conservative parents. When I was a young child, the Internet was something I met in passing at school or at a friend's house. It was a portal to another world; access to things totally beyond my grasp. Every interaction with it was almost supernatural.

Blog moment. I often think about how online spaces used to be when I was younger, and how the current landscape of the Internet is far more bleak and atomized than what the Internet once was to me. Two points: What it felt like, and what I think it is now + why.

I don't feel like booting into Windows, and the registration seems to be gatekept by some sort of passcode. Here's some footage of the localized private server in its heyday, though. Reminds me of all random the FTP MMOs in the 00's.

Genki released an online version of their Toyko Xtreme Racer series for PC back in 2003. A fan worked to release the game in English on private servers a few years ago, but it hasn't been updated since 2022. Anyone know about its status?

So many gay men at the bougie bagel shop this morning

my exciting purchases lately: electric self propelled lawn mower that makes drunken yard-work a breeze, carhartt lunchbox and tupperware for meal prep. specialists are saying they've never seen such levels of turning 30 this year.

Joyful moments of my day, waiting for the sun to set on Lough Neagh and behind me is this beautiful swan. 🦢
