Sigh. Okay, once again: The reason the end of the federal net neutrality rule didn't significantly impact the internet is California shortly after enacted its own net neutrality rule, and carriers decided it was cheaper to stay net neutral than create a patchwork for every state. https://t.co/NLV5rEJKt0— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) June 11, 2023

With how it’s set up rn, the education system is dumb after 6th/7th grade (maybe 8th but that’s pushing it). Once you’re past the basics, why tf are you being forced to focus on a topic for months that you knew you weren’t into after one week?The value of the internet is not… https://t.co/sl2YRlbMcc— Jules Terpak (@julesterpak) April 3, 2024

i’m in a film studies class this semester on documentaries related to genocides and with every reading we read i feel like i’m getting closer to being able to fully articulate the thoughts i’ve been having about the Internet’s role at this current moment, and how it diffuses— yoona (@TabiOrNotTabi) February 9, 2024

Feedback effects: Google initially relied on the (human-curated) link structure of the internet to derive "importance" signals from the internet graph. As people started using Google instead of links, Google accidentally destroyed the fabric that provided the value.— Halvar Flake (@halvarflake) December 5, 2022

“@itsjamiecho My theory is that you can’t systemize Gen Z marketing because Gen z makes organic , personal , user generated content hence you can only copy the same meme , viral video 1-2 until it becomes cringe or the internet already moved on away from it”

“A recent small medical issue has highlighted how much someone needs to disrupt Google Search. Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories.”

Twitter is an anti-compassion machine that stokes our tendency to dehumanize and even hate people we don't know personally. Four little exercises I use to combat that and crank up the compassion in my mind:— Tim Urban (@waitbutwhy) November 4, 2022

Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10— Prof Paul Bernal (@PaulbernalUK) November 1, 2022

The more the Internet exposes us to other points of view, the angrier we get that those other points of view exist. We are confronted with people we could have ignored, or never even heard.

Before I redid the @Basedash website in July, we decided to stick with @Webflow over @framer after doing some test sites.But after building a few other sites in Framer since then, I think we'll probably switch once they add CMS import.A micro-thread about why: pic.twitter.com/U09IfDHwa8— Tom Johnson (@tomjohndesign) September 23, 2022
