  Right, but Web 2.0 (although the term was a bit of a joke to developers) was describing technologies solving actual problems. Web3 is vague hype.
  
  Folks like https://indieweb.org/ share some of the web3 goals, but without the speculative crypto bro stuff.

• Braun Electric Razor Series 7

  5 out of 5

  I never knew electric razors could be so effective!

  Braun Electric Razor Series 7 Aaron Parecki 2021-11-15T08:53:43-08:00 permalink

  I've had a Panasonic razor for many many years, but it finally died so I went looking for a replacement. I ended up deciding on this one, and I am so glad I found it! It's like night and day compared to how well it cleans up my face. I always assumed electric razors were only good for short trims, and any time I let my face grow out more than a day's worth I would have to switch back to a manual razor to clean it up. This one can chew through facial hair like a lawnmower! Okay maybe that's a slight exaggeration since I don't end up growing anything anyone would consider a "full beard", but still it's such a huge difference compared to the small Panasonic I've been using for years!
  
  My only complaints about this are:
  
  The razor charges with its own cord with a unique power connector, which means if I need to charge it while traveling I have to not forget to pack the cable. (My previous razor used AA batteries so it was easy to bring replacements or use rechargeable ones for travel.)
  
  The razor is significantly larger than the small one I used to use, so it takes up a lot more room in my travel bag. However it's so effective that it's worth it.
  
  I wish I had known electric razors could be so good a long time ago, I would have saved myself a lot of time!

  it is completely wild to me how many people on here are making 100% confident statements about what is made possible by web3, a thing that does not seem to actually exist
  
  and right at the same time as facebook releases an AMV about "the metaverse" and pretends it's a product

  i have made good-faith attempts to understand what they are so excited about but it always boils down to "what if, instead of trusting a rich company with all your information... you trusted a group of rich anonymous strangers?"

  so i have absolutely no idea how this is meant to lead us to anything other than: facebook and twitter, except now all the posts are hosted by someone else, so facebook and twitter save money. also you can't delete posts because they're on the blockchain, idk

  their rugged individualism just makes them unable to see any of our current problems as systemic, and so their solution is to just recreate basically the same structures with different people in charge

  silos took over because they're massively convenient in a lot of ways. the web3 folks don't seem to understand that (even as they cluster around convenient silos like opensea) and don't have answers to any of the compelling reasons people use silos in the first place

  that's what the real web 3.0 was supposed to be about, some 10+ years ago — folks figuring out how to replicate the experience of silos, but across lots of different personal sites. i guess we never quite got it to work.
  
  meanwhile the blockchain answer is "what if one big silo"

  So do we just pretend like the #indieweb /#openweb movement never existed? Or is that a buzzkill?
