I don’t regret spending so much time on the internet the past few decades. It wasn’t time wasted. I met some wonderful people there, including my current partner and a great, remarkable friend. I learned many things and advanced my career.

But that time is coming to a close as now it’s just a spyware-infested corporate propaganda arena with no usable browser any more to even access it.

Already, I’ve been optimizing my life since this resource is disappearing. I’ve acquired a keyboard (of the musical type) and am playing again. I’m getting back into weightlifting. I’m reading more books. So the internet essentially becoming an electronic turd is not all bad, though I will miss it in some ways.

Even I was very hopeful about the internet and its future in the 1990s, when everyone was more optimistic and the future seemed like it could be better. That’s not the path we took, though.
