RE: OPEN LETTER TO STEEMIT, ET AL

in #steemit6 years ago

Very well put Oliver... may I go on a rant? - Well, you can't tell me if yes or no, so I will carry on as if you agreed.

It's still very, very early in the game. But yes, everything you have pointed out I have to agree with you 100% because it's verifiable, very much so.

However, lets go down memory lane for a second or two. Let's talk nerd talk for a minute.

Linux, did it succeed?


Some say no, of course not. The whole revolution of an open source system was a fad, intellectual pornography if you will for the geekiest among us. Who today uses linux, who?

Surprisingly, its actually the #1 operating system in the world, but almost nobody knows it is, almost Nobody.

For all I know you read this comment of mine on an android phone, guess what operating system it is? Yes, that is right linux. But, who knew? Its so easy to use, so simple, you did not have to compile a Kernel to dial your friend.

The new thermostats are also pretty awesome, I think the way they can be programmed depending on times of the day and seasons make them super convenient. Guess what operating system they are using? Yes, that's right Linux... But all you have to do is press two button.

My point is, that open source took over, linux took over ten fold above microsoft, above mac, and nobody knows. That is how mass adoption looks.

Steemit was never meant to take over facebook, Steemit is the equivalent of us nerds (im one of them) taking apart our 486 SX computers installing a insufferable version of an ugly operating system that refuses to obey, but its free, and everyone can help make it better.

On that note, this website is running on a linux server, and I'm using a linux computer.

Back to Steemit


What you are asking for will come, very soon actually, we call them SMTs. By then steemit might be like that old phone you keep on the drawer, the flip phone, but, you are going to have all the knowledge, and have a big, a huge advantage.

You would be an early adopter and your new phone calls everywhere for free.

Sort:  

Okay if I'm honest here? I will proceed as if you said yes.

You just wrote a terrific example of what I'm talking about. You lost me right after "Very well put," although I do recall something about "for free."

If I knew your mailing address I would send you a sign like the one hanging over the proof copies of the 13 novels I currently have in print. The sign says, "Keep it simple, Stupid." (No insult intended.)

hahahah my friend, lets say this...

If you stay in the trenches with us, 5 year older you, will thank today you a ton... I'm sure of it.

Okay, I understood most of that, especially the "If" part. Now I would like to ask a favor of you. It's not a big favor. All I want you to do is read what you just typed.

Oliver, by any chance are you using Discord (its a chat program, free to use as well) - I would like to invite you to a little group. I think I can be of help, I seriously do.

https://discordapp.com/

You can run it on your browser or you could download the desktop program.

I know it's more to learn, but I promise, I've helped so many people understand these complicated waters, I got some tricks.
