RE: Will Steemit complete Project Xanadu's vision of what the internet should be?

in #steemdev5 years ago

The Rush version is even sadder. I do like the contextual mechanism of Xanadu. I make do with multiple tabs, but that's far more unwieldy.

Sort:  

Well, I'd think they would update the idea after so long.
I also think when we stop glorifying rule by bullies the panopticon would help the good people.
What would you think if I told you that adept was murdered just after posting that?

I would be very skeptical of an attempt to link that post to his death. He's just advocating better means of handling linking. I don't see how that could create an existential threat to his life. I would also be sad, because it's a good post, and the author likely to provide many more good posts.

Is @adept deceased?

Ackza is the guy to ask.
I got that post from him.

I find it pretty easy to believe that adept was given this info and whoever
gave it to him got mad about his making that public.
But, at this point, my assessment of stinc, et al, is pretty low.

It has occurred to me that dan getting run off and the kneecappening of linear rewards, pay to play, and the loss of the 4 post cap on rewards was intentionally designed to insure that steem crashed.
I no longer believe it was incompetence on ned's part.

If steem had been allowed to flourish with the initial excitement the world would be a different place now, imo.
