It's a good episode. They mention federation at one point as a possible direction, and also consider that maybe the internet just sucks too much to be worth existing at all.

    If the Internet were once more just about sharing educational materials, niche social fora, and Sonic pornography, I think the world could finally start to heal.

        It can take some digging, but I've rarely had trouble finding stuff I wanted. Also, for papers specifically, always email the authors if you can't find a copy. The worst they'll say is no, but it's not like they're getting paid by the journals and most of them are just happy someone's reading their work.

    Like so many TrueAnon episodes, part of me wants to listen to it as I find the topic interesting, another part of me wants to run a million miles away from Liz’s inevitably weird, poorly informed and yet high conviction takes on a topic (I’m guessing in this case, something like software development)

      Liz says she's already secretly murdered 2 software devs and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon.

      I usually enjoy the episodes I've listened to like :melon-musk: and :dorner: part 1. What's an example where she had a poorly informed yet high conviction take?

        Some of their Russia takes are a bit bizarre, but it's been awhile since I've listened so I don't remember all the details.

          I think their Russia takes are mostly just making fun of libs saying they hand-wring about Russia and their effect on the 2016 election.
