THE INTERNET

[aria@awawa.club]

@valere @LunaDragofelis it makes for a fun irony here, seeing as THE INTERNET is actually also being overrun with slop, in addition to its natural disrepair. Still not okay to post, in any case

[valere@hostux.social]

Since this has been shared quite a bit, a quick heads-up: this might be AI slop. I just stumbled upon the image online and reposted it without thinking twice. My bad!

@valere From ARPANET to TCP/IP to global greatness before being seized by the techno-oligarchs.
Yet another great leap for all mankind that became enshittified in the name of rampant capitalism, power and greed. Now also a tool to spread disinformation in addition to legitimate uses. Trust nothing.

@AndiPopp @valere noticed exactly the same.

[nico@lepoulsdumonde.com]

@valere so what ? Stop looking at the finger…

[worldtravelerall7@mastodon.world]

@valere I thought it looked like this

[troupier@framapiaf.org]

@valere don't care that's a good one.

@aria @valere @LunaDragofelis
So AI is the reason for this Meme in more than one way.

@valere *See also: society.*

@valere nice detail, the small pillar maintained by a single person in Nebraska in the last 10yrs is still standing

[alpacamale@social.cologne]

@valere Yeah, some of the lines are weird. It's funny, it's not like this would be particularly hard to draw without AI.

@valere @LunaDragofelis @aria this response is best followed up by removing the post ^^

[madness832@mstdn.party]

@valere I have some duct tape!

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@aria @valere It was.

The OSI folks were complaining about it 40 years ago before it ever became popular.

The majority of the flaws I complain about were glaringly obvious at the design stage.

But corposcum & fascist sabotage means we're stuck with TCP/IP instead.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@hsza @aria @valere @LunaDragofelis There is edit capacity that works for images. Why not just use GNU Imp to remake it manually and replace the image?

[tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz]

@lispi314 @aria @valere pretty sure OSI is younger than 40

@tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz @aria@awawa.club @valere@hostux.social The protocol wars date back to at least the 1980s (we are in 202X).

Cyclades is from 1976 at latest.

[tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz]

@lispi314 @aria @valere I think I misunderstood

@valere #Historian #LongTerm #Preservation senses tingling:

Missing metadata:
* #DublinCore.Date
* DublinCore.Source

I assume, someone has a working and complete backup of "The Internet" to restore from?
