Anyone who wants the internet to be like this... It's hard to describe adequately.

The idea makes me as angry as I was when I was a kid and first heard about the destruction of the library of Alexandria. It is a deep dark rage.

With proper open protocols for communication with various services such a 'everything' app could become a thing at some point.

Where I live we already have a single app (owned for a large part by the govt) we can use to log in to most official services, and any decent-size service can apply to offer log in using it. Going from that concept it really isn't too much of a stretch to an "everything app" becoming a thing.

Your thing and Leon's dream has one major difference. Thanks to those open protocols, multiple companies could build everything apps and compete on service, with all of them being able to access all you need.

Leon does not want Twitter to be an everything app, he wants it to be the everything app that you can't escape, owns all your data, and you can't get on with doing basic shit without paying him money.

He basically wants to monopolize everything, because he's bad at competition, because he's bad at it.

Things being "a thing" are not the same as "acceptable outcomes occurring"

proper open protocols

Yeah that will never, ever happen, especially if the app is successful. We would have to legally force them
