I've worked with people who would hold up manila folders next to their monitors when they had sun glare rather than just, you know, move the loving monitor a bit. If you turn it for them so they can see, they lose their loving minds at you and immediately put it back so they go blind and can't read the screen.

I worked at a weed grow and they wanted to ‘simplify’ the growing process by implementing a new Web 3.0 system where you have to scan each plant’s serial number with a tablet before you do any work on them. then you select from a drop down menu what particular work you’re going to do (I.e. defoliation), and it times you for how long you’re supposed to take. You do this for each plant in a room of nearly a thousand.

This was proposed by a suck up trying to make the place more efficient.

I like the RFC that page references: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6919

quote:

5. WOULD PROBABLY

The phrase "WOULD PROBABLY" indicates the authors expectation about
what a reasonable implementation is likely to do in a given case.
There is no requirement for implementations to be reasonable.

This phrase is also a good example of an aspect of English grammar
that is often useful in specification writing, namely the passive-
aggressive voice, which provides a meaning in between the active and
the passive voice.

For example: "A SMTP client would probably only want to authenticate
an SMTP server whose server certificate has a domain name that is the
domain name that the client thought it was connecting to."

Someone in I think the climate thread, said he wanted to use school kitchens in evenings to churn out massive amounts of hot food for people. It just kinda blew my mind because it's such a simple solution that can reach most areas of the country, since most areas have schools still. Which is exactly why it's never going to happen in this demon cracker country lol

Web 1.0 was supposedly static information. Web 2.0 was supposedly "user interactivity / content" like youtube, plus a whole lotta javascript and gradients to make sure you know it's the future. Web 3.0 is complete nonsense that I've been following for a little while so lemme try to sum it up:

- Web 2.0 was supposed to have things that never really happened, most notably semantic web (basically information computers can use to condense a website and cleverly present the information or sort it or whatever). This never happened for a lot of reasons, mostly because it kinda requires everyone to buy into it and it's not actually that great a proposal for buying in if you're generating content (why would I want people to be able to extract the information without visiting my website?)

- Some idiots decided ok, well, now that we have ~AI~ and other vaguely defined nonsense technologies, let's just roll all the magic handwavy technology into Web 3.0. This group of people came up with loving fantastic ideas like "instead of using a web browser, you will have a personal assistant AI like Alexa that extracts information from various sources and presents it to you as a feed" so basically a loving facebook feed but for everything all the time. Great.

- A different group of idiots who are into bitcoin saw this and went "Aha!" and glomped their ideas onto the side of it awkwardly. So now the magic AI uses the blockchain... somehow. At least at first this weird crypto-cancer growing off the side of the first group was painfully poorly done, like you could see the seams where they were trying to glue their stupid poo poo to the other stupid poo poo.

- Eventually the second group won out and shut up the first group, because if bitcoiners are good at anything it's screaming louder than everyone else. So now Web3 (as it has been re-branded to, for some reason) is all about NFT's and blockchains and "distributed/decentralized services" is even more poorly-defined and nonsensical than it was before.

Oh and then METAVERSE became a buzzword half-way through the process I described, so now every single Web3 idea has to have a metaverse NFT game in development coming Jan. 2024 or whatever. All of these metaverse NFT games have somehow already sold all their virtual property to corporations for millions of theoretical dollars, despite most of them literally not existing even in a pre-alpha form. None of them sound at all appealing to play. In Peter Moleneux's one, for example, you get your game key to enable you to play the game in the first place from a virtual landlord, who owns the virtual land that you then have to set up your virtual store on. All your virtual money you make with the virtual store is taxed by the virtual landlord for virtual rent.

Nope, web 1/2/3 are just ideas. Web 2 sort of encompassed the "standards" of HTML5 and CSS3 and whatever the hell version of Javascript was out at the time, but none of them (especially not Web3) are actually standards or technologies in any way, they are buzzwords.
