I'm not sure what you mean by "woke disease," but consumerism involves evaluation.
Oct 7 was horrible, but it didn't come out of nowhere. Sabra and Shatila, for example (Waltz with Bashir being a very good Israeli film on the topic), and the many thousands of people killed mutilated or displaced in their usual unhelpfully disproportionate response..
That is not a partner for creating logical systems. Very clear their current decisions are political.
Some of the pushback is the desire to collect fees or social capital for works, which is understandable, but at the same time that inherently creates walled gardens of information and the ability to combine (synthesize), something which could be considered outdated compared to what these algorithms could offer.
One somewhat reasonable outcome could be that for profit offerings must develop ways to limit excerpts and acknowledge sources, the latter similarly to how Google search works. I think it would be a terrible outcome if knowledge and AI abilities were splintered off to different product groupings (eg NYT only available via Apple AI).
But even a Chromium based browser setting is better than some random app that could have been a web page.
But you're just putting yourself out on an increasingly brittle limb to defend native apps, which imo work against user interests.
There's really not much reason to not use a browser, the compatibility issues are pretty much a thing of the past on any browser, unless you're doing something esoteric. Installing a special app should be unusual.
My worry is the way will involve abandoning people around the world, pushing back against immigration and sharing as the rich get richer and more isolated, eventually underground bunkers. It is going to take a lot of work and faith and sacrifice to address this crisis humanely, but the reward will be larger than "at least I'm not in the desert." Self-serving populism is imo the biggest problem.
which I would call x-dimensional rabbit holes.
I think I'll keep on with web components and the shadow DOM.
and basically all the comments. including yours.
I wasn't specifically endorsing Bluesky, but it would not be surprising if a professional, clean slate protocol based on the "learnings" of the past would be simpler to implement and just all round better. I think the use of DIDs opens up to many interesting options, none of which need to use a blockchain.
It's a shame about ActivityPub, I think Linked Data is a really important tech that hasn't been picked up enough, but from what I hear it's a really half hearted implementation at best.
But above all, as you pointed out, why are people trying so hard to replicate an obviously easily exploitable and now more prone to individual failure/abuse model? Is unprotected identities and scraps of paper, oh and tags like 2007 twitter, really the best, most user honouring application of current tech?
With this attitude (it can always be as bad as it is now), when will the change be? Never.
The whole thing makes me think of home renovation, apparently the majority of landfill is cast-off material because re-use isn't a consideration.
I don't think "most people" arguments are great. People want freedom and flexibility, they don't want to have to sell their car and buy a new one if their conditions change.
I hope the first mainstream car in my market that takes a very modular approach wins out. In fact imo there should be regulated form factors, since the impact of these things at scale is huge, and I doubt battery recycling is that efficient.
