However, as the DNA moves from policy ambition toward implementation, it is time to introduce another dimension: Evaluation. From a policy […] -

The #EFF (@eff) is right about the fear of system overloads caused by surging bot traffic:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/free-and-open-web-under-attack-ietf"However reasonable these fears may be, the answer is not to change the #IETF #standards from neutral protocols that encourage openness to restrictive requirements designed to monetize internet access."

Being “gen-x” means I grew up with a version of the Internet that’s very different from what people experience today.
God I miss it.
I tried to put some of that into words, but when I was done, I realized that I just have more questions than answers.
I miss the #OpenInternet

The open internet was an exception, a happy blip in human history where collaboration and communication flourished, but, as with free trade and protection of sea lanes, it was predicated on American hegemony.
China's always closed itself off from the wider Internet, most content from China is soft-blocked to the outside. Countries facing internal turmoil turn to internet shutdowns as one of their first response.
In some cases, this is a good thing -- China managed to create their home-grown tech platforms that serve their citizens' needs, for example.
The reason bodies like the EU are so hellbent on age verification and Chat Control is that they believe the next decades will mean ruling from positions of deep unpopularity, looking at handling demographic collapse, increase in military spending, further austerity and climate migration all at once. Adding dissent into the mix is, in their eyes, not acceptable.
"Pax Americana" is over, the Peace Dividend is over, and now the open internet, is also over.

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der Information nicht mehr nur Macht ist, sie ist Überleben. Und wer über Information herrscht, herrscht über Realität. Das wissen Diktatoren. Das wissen autoritäre Regime. Das wissen auch einige demokratisch gewählte Regierungen besser, als ihnen lieb sein sollte. Die Frage ist: Wissen wir es auch? [Mehr lesen...]

Responded to #Mozilla's survey...
"Focus on making a more robust, feature-filled, and extensible browser: you used to be the #1 alternative to #Internet Explorer, because #Firefox was more efficient and had stuff like tabs. Stop worrying about putting in #AI nobody cares about: I am an AI researcher and don't see myself using it, definitely don't see myself switching browsers to chase it, and even if I wanted it I would just install a Gemini add-on or something."
...in hindsight, I should have also mentioned the Fediverse. Someone else remember to mention Fedi.
