The Computer Room

Youse-net ft. the most famous blogger in the world

Episode Summary

While ATO is on hiatus, from DF's The Computer Room: I talked about Usenet (and, incredibly, mispronounced it), elitism, and the lost civilizations of the Internet with the most famous blogger in the world. I’m not one of his readers, but I feel like I understand him a lot better after hearing him talk about the Internet. After this conversation, I’m left wondering… do we need to govern the Internet, as though it were a physical place? (I also wish I asked him about his galaxy of other projects.)
