This kind of thing makes it really easy to get interested, and stay interested, in decentralization tech. Once you see things in this light, the new flavor of the month online service just doesn't hold any allure.

My approach has been to make a “politics” friend list, and put people on it when they post political things. Then I share political stuff with that list. So if I haven't seen political stuff from you, you shouldn't see it from me.

You are right, and I made this simplification with full awareness that I was doing so. On the other hand, I really like the idea of splitting apart the country in a way that frees most of us from a large enough number of the people who are

I know you're at least half joking, but for me it actually is the year of linux on the desktop. As a developer who does server-side stuff, a mac was an obvious easy choice for a long time -- a tradition that has been widespread going

I think there are some good insights to be gleaned from this essay, as with a lot of pg's essays. The perspective of the guy who founded and ran Y Combinator is always an interesting one to hear from. However for this essay in particul
