All just a bit of fun capitalist horseying around... All silly stuff.


Curiously, "trojan.horse" hasn't been registered... Yet?

Then again, I'm not silly enough to add $40 to the frivolity... :-P

(Dread to think if there might be a .pony domain...! :-( )


More of concern is the presumed walled-garden of censorship and tease
and worse that might become ".internet"...

Zuck can EFF off: Internet.org is SO NOT the INTERNET

To my mind, singing up to that, even if supposedly for no monetary
cost or for cheap, looks to be just so 1984...


There ever more looks to be the need for FLOSS and an internet of freedom!

Cheers,
Martin
