pro life tip secret hint weird thing:
any time you hear a new word, automatically ask, "oh, right, those! what are those sausages made from again?"
if that thing is a sausage you look smart as heck
if it's not you still get an explanation about what the thing actually is
fren + optional digit + three nonoptional letters + optional digit + optional letter = lotsa frenchfrisee frens

I think it's less that we took that as a guiding principle as that it's humanity's defining characteristic
we are the Rube Goldberg species

JP Barlow has left the building; may his name always be spoken.
But we're all going to have to pull a little more slack on the internet's weirdness factor to make up for it.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
all I can remember is being a kid and finding out about the EFF, and thinking, "that needed doing"
not everybody who sees a thing that needs doing will do it, I already knew that
so I was glad someone was
maybe we as a species need to move past the idea that some of what was "good" ten or twenty or thirty or forty years ago
is still "good" now
good is a moving target, quality changes
Dickens is impenetrably dense and unrealistically plot-convenient now
is it "good"? uh, a hundredsomething years back, sure, it was fuckin' fantastic
it's crap now
move on
you spinfrasound me right round bb
within guitars we have "air" and "electric"

The problem isn't complexity, IMO.
I mean ink and paper are actually shockingly complex things, but the 'interface' of 'writing on paper' has been relatively standardized in the collective human mind at this point -- but that's still pretty recent. The evolution of pens, of water-soluble ink, of papers made with varying materials and thicknesses and purposes, etc. It took a long damn time.
So computer interface use may not be 'standardized' for a much longer while yet. :\
"So this car is HACKABLE, huh?"
"It...drives itself to whatever address you give it, knows when it's running out of gas and finds a gas station FOR you, and almost never hits anything ever at all."
"Yeah. Because COMPUTERS. So it's HACKABLE."
