I'm totally in favor of a fully distributed solution! But you don't need a ledger for it, neither centralized nor distributed. A simple pub-sub + DHT, torrent style, should be enough.

Blockchain is the wrong solution for that problem.

Check out Nostr, its's pretty much what we need.

Maybe it's time to go back to BBSes. This whole internet thing kinda sucks now.

Try permanently disabling JavaScript. It will break most sites but what remains is a largely peaceful experience.

Next browser on desktop will be one that has intentionally no JS support. If I'm making compromises I might as well go all the way through. 😅

There is also Firefox Focus which us basically a stripped down fennec. I use it as my default browser with JS disabled.

Fair point. We usually do that with screen sharing. But then only one person can edit.

With all these web based office suites popping up, I wonder if anybody needs these? It seems like a solution pushed onto us that nobody asked for. Everybody I know is still using MS Office or Libreoffice and everybody seems to agree that office on mobile devices sucks.

Seems that his critique was absolutely justified.
