fascinating review of studies on Internet use and cognition — including potentially negative effects on concentration and memory — found by way of an excellent article in Nautilus titled "Viva la library"

The latest article by @molly0xfff (whose writing I always enjoy) coincidently compliments my Save the Web by Being Nice article from a few days ago.

@davidrevoy i'm looking for something that can be applied without editing the HTML, and with SVGs rather than unicode chars

Really like this ever so much from @molly0xfff

It speaks to something I often mention to or remind people of ... namely, there was a time before the commercial capitalistic web, there was a time when we wondered if you could even make money online.

The not-for-profit web was messy, it was difficult to get on to, but for the early days, and even over the first dotcom bubble, that WAS the web.

I used to call myself the web's last optimist, but I think that title belongs to @molly0xfff now.

@fraying a lot of people assume i'm a cynic and then are later very surprised

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

<s>Two</s> Three more questions. Please answer both!

  1. When were the "good old days" of the net?
molly0xfff, (edited )
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar
  1. How old are you now?
molly0xfff, (edited )
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

I lied. Three questions.

How old were you during your "good old days" period?

molly0xfff, to web
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

Prosecutors wanted 36 months
Defense wanted 0, just probation
Probation Office recommended 5 months
Judge settled on 4

@csdummi i suspect SBF still would've served more time than this had he pled guilty, simply because of all the fraud charges and the amount of money lost by victims of the FTX collapse

@mysignal they do when the business operated in the US in violation of US laws, though the question is sometimes whether they can actually arrest the person. not an issue with zhao, who turned himself in
