When I hear someone talk about their “corner” of the internet, I always think about what that means geometrically or topologically.
Is the internet a shape made up of ALL corners?
- _xivi 2y ago> Is the internet a shape made up of ALL corners? Sounds like a Geodesic Sphere. Personally I see it more as an international city rich of intersections, and as such, full of different corners
- in-tension 2y agoI love that interpretation. The Internet is made up of corners and corners are created by intersections. (Although I think I may have just reinvented the grid)
- parpfish 2y agoUntil this comment I never realized that there was a second interpretation of “my corner”. I always thought of it like the corner in a room/cube vertex But this suggests it could be like “street corner” which makes a lot more sense
- masswerk 2y agoThink of Antiquity, when the world was empirically a globe, but conceptionally a circle (orbs), and still had corners for the 4 winds. :-)
