There is also gopher and USENET, but on cells it can be hard.

But the largest issue is the users attraction to "bright and shiny". I think no matter what comes I fear it will end up on the same path as now. Gemini has the ability to avoid enshitification, but it is still not attracting users like www.

Anyway alternatives exist but they need some TLC and a method to keep out commercial entities.

It is too bad, they were real good and carried items that could not be found elsewhere. Now seems all stores are the same.

Edit: Looked it up, the store stopped selling toys all together last year. But they are still in business selling other items that were in a different part of the store.

But I think this will hurt them as time goes on more then help. IIRC, one news org blocked free access and their revenue fell. I think that was in Australia.

But seems they are using AI as the reason. So allowing after a week will not avoid AI access.

But, what happens of an AI Company subscribes to the news site using a person's name (or a fake name) ? They will still get the article and avoid hassles.

I wonder if we are already there :( I remember a year or 2 ago we breached 1.5C for a short period of time.

Crypto mining was bad enough, now with AI and Trump, I expect it will happen sooner then later.

We did this to ourselves. We had ~40 years of warnings but politicians we elected did not want to do any real work for fear of loosing their cushy job were lobbyists do all the work for them.

Until recently it was an "Oil Standard". But now we are in transition from Oil to Renewals. I think that transition is causing some if not most of the political issues we are having now.

With renewals, the source is always available and everyone just needs to purchase the means of accessing it once. With Oil, you need to constantly "pay" someone to get that energy, so many people/companies know their gravy train is ending and they are doing all the can to keep us using fossil fuels.

Also there is an on-going struggle on who produces the items needed to access sun and wind power. Right now China is easily winning that struggle.

Taxing the rich is not a Liberal thing, but the Rich is calling it that because they do not want to pay any taxes at all.

He was elected because people are starting to feel real pain and seeing the ultra rich paying far less taxes then they are. If it was up to me, I would tax all the second homes above 5 million USD and add a Luxury Tax on all valuable Autos too.

Now I wonder how the test it ? Is it on a software emulator on modern equipment or do they have a Voyager replica ?

I know what you mean, I think that happened when Corporations took over the internet.

Plus, when Smart Phones came out, most were locked down. If they were not locked down I think it would have been lots of fun for the young hacking them. Now, almost all devices are in the process of following the Cell Phone Trend.

But some fun can be had with the *BSDs and some Linux Distros, hopefully that can continue in spite of these new Age Verification Laws.

Seems the young of today cannot hack, break, fix computers now, they seem to be on a Assembly Line to Corporate boredom.

All this proves is when the press was deregulated to allow one person to own all the media they can afford brought us were we are now.

Do me they could have put the items in a sealed maybe 'lead' box and examine them later.

Looks like this is for Linux and Windows, on NetBSD I get this issue :(

They mentioned Eye Wear is next, I think the author can guess where that is going. No reason to doubt the same will happen to that industry too.
