    Why don't we just go Terry Davis mode and make our own operating systems from the ground up?

    "HTTP isn't the problem" *goes onto talk about an HTTP alternative as the solution to "the problem"*
  • @pvc988
    These flat shaded animations… F*cking everywhere.
  • Dude I secretly love gopher. I remember spending a whole weekend just looking up all the gopher sites that people are hosting and just loved how functional and uncluttered it all was
  • I searched for news...now I'm reading some dude's personal account about a raid in DC in 1992.
  • Gopher would actually be great from a web accessibility standpoint; just a plain text website would be easy to adapt to any sort of screen reader. I'm surprised I have never heard of it until now, My next question, maybe the topic for another video would be how to spin up a server for it.

    I think why today’s modern web is so bloated is because devs are putting JavaScript library like React into their page that don’t really need a library to render a page but they ended up still doing it because it’s fun to do so, and big companies are putting trackers and ads into their web page and locking down their API access to force users to use their official spyware or just out right banning folks from using their API to build a non-bloated third party client( I am totally not looking at you Disocrd)

    Alphabet is too bloated .... lets use Morse code...
  • @ElJosher
    Corporate flat art is really a cancer to this world. I hate that shit. It feel like I’m being treated as a child by these corporations.
  • @JohnNiemand
    This made me very nostalgic for Windows 98 times.
  • @NoobBasically
    Have a single page website showing only a couple of photos and some text Still puts computers to a dismal crawl for their artsy-fartsy design things and animations Isn't this what ultimately killed friendster and myspace? Bloated pages that consume a metric ton of resources that is not even indicative of the actual value said page actually has (like those stupid meaningless "landing pages").
  • @mcmc9033
    That 3d browsing reminded me of a scene in Jurassic Park.
  • @saeedbaig4249
    Gopher looks like what old-school sci-fi imagined the internet would be like; like something you'd see on a Star Trek console.
  • I like how everyone right now is talking about gemini and gopher ;p
