@bobwyman @timbray @ben we got much better (though surveillant) browsers and amazing CSS, and a completely predatory, sterile internet dominated by a few sites that bring out the worst of us. i don’t know what open source browsers and standards would have looked like in a less commercial counterfactual. there are definitely some goods to counterbalance the bads on the path we’ve taken, but overall better counterfactuals if wr’d never made the internet friendly to scale seem plausible to me.
