That doesn't sound like agreement.
Agreement is how we have arrived at the imperfect solution we have now... Agreement between various technical and non-technical parties.
- orangeboats 2y agoConversely, blindly categorizing all government mandation as authoritarianism sounds like a highway to all kinds of logical fallacies! Is mandating a fair market (by e.g. punishing monopolies) authoritarian? A sensible person would answer no. Similarly, mandating an Internet Protocol that doesn't require centralization (you know, NAT) and renting an address from the Big Boys (AWS etc) sounds like a perfectly sensible decision to me. > Agreement is how we have arrived at the imperfect solution we have now... I disagree. What we have now is not an explicit agreement, it's a status quo which can be broken by an external force.

- orangeboats 2y agoI don't think you understand what "pedant" means.
