Apparently problem of having safe browser for everyone that benefits people and economies globally cannot be solved under capitalism.
Mozilla should be sponsored from tax money (of all countries participating in e-commerce) as part of global infrastructure that brings trillions to global economy and protects people using the web.
Gemini is great but it must explicitly not adopt any features to enable e-comerce or its fate will be the same.
The idea that you can have a tech small enough that you can implement clients and servers cheaply is good but it will limit how far you can go with it. We need a better web for commerce. Gemini should not try to be it.
@brombek 😂 last part got me. Global tax
@deavmi
Call it what you will. Internet is global but mostly financed in distributed manner. Somehow we managed to get some crucial elements of it centralized. You pay already for orgs like UN to handle global issues, so perhaps centralized parts of the Internet should be managed in similar way. Dunno, just an idea.
@brombek UN has noble concerns but damn I am more in favour of things like NATO.
Let me put it like this. I am in favour with upholdiny Westernism and diversity within and under such a system - not really interested in anything else that conflicts with that - the UN only recognizes some parts of Westernism but not to my extremes
Having control over web infrastructure (search and browsers) that facilitate trillions of moneys in trade is always going to be a goal of corporations.
First it was Microsoft, it got antitrust, that benefited Google and we are back to square 1. Google gets broken down and we will be back here again after a decade or two.
