ooooo, gotcha! poes law strikes again lol
i feel like the big difference between web1 and what's cookin' now is that web1 was pure server->client, web2 allowed for servers to communicate easier in a hierarchy of "x depends on y", and now that hierarchy is becoming a flatter, peer-to-peer network

legitimate question — is web3 just "decentralized," or is it a term for pitching cryptocurrency cash-grabby projects?
like, i think the "technically right" term for AT's approach (and ActivityPub) is "federated", but it'd be hard to expect folks who aren't Very Deep Into This™ to differentiate that

i just sat there confusd for the whole thing because i didn't realize how it'd sounded without language context — my only thought was "...am i stupid? what just happened?". it was the last interview in a literal 8-hour interview day gauntlet. did not get the gig.

for the record — and since it's already pretty much out there — the blacked out message is my actual social security number that they presumably got from my leaked 1099 contract with Roblox.
now i get to pay for identity protection insurance, *forever*, as a lil treat.
