What if we could have a world that wasn't powered by ads? I'd like to get past this "only one way to run the internet" train of thought.

I'm just so tired of ads, commercials and advertising in general. It's exhausting.

It's either that, a subscription model of some sort, going to pay to install models, or something else to fund themselves. I'd suggest going to a donation based model, but I doubt there's enough Firefox users willing to pay to even be able to keep it alive more than a year or two tops.

Universal Basic Income, ala star trek, is an option, then just let everybody make cool shit.

Star Trek has no Universal Basic Income. It has replicators for all your basic needs.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Replicators, which are universal and basic.

Hahahaha, you're funny.

UBI won't fix human nature.

If treated like animals, that's what happens. Observe the difference between U.S. criminal justice, and the Netherlands. Without a chip in your shoulder, it's pretty simple.
