I've been observing, from the sidelines, the devolution of mailing
lists, Usenet, and IRC into web-based discussion forums of various
flavors; getting the bar lowered to the level of Twooter, Spacebook,
and TokTik, and more of the same. It takes more mental effort and
discipline to participate meaningfully in the former, but much less in
the latter. It's a much lower barrier of entry; hence this latest
episode with Gnome.

Nailed it: Twooter, Spacebook, TokTik.

Devolution - whatever you call it - in the West seems to be a fact in
many fields. Whereas intellectually and when it comes to patents
Asians are getting a lot better over the last years. 2021 more than
50% of patent filings [*] came from Asia (China 25.1%, Japan 18.1%,
Republic of Korea 7.5%), USA 21.5% and Germany 6.2% - this is a total
reverse from the numbers of 1994: US were No.1, Germany #2, Japan #4,
Korea #18, China #21.

But yes: Let's all be happy with a few butttons to press.
