Nets have been constructed by human beings since at least the Mesolithic period for use in capturing or retaining things. Their open weaves provide lightness and flexibility that allow them to be carried and manipulated with relative ease, making them valuable for methodical tasks such as hunting, fishing, sleeping, and carrying.

In mycology, anastomosis is the fusion between branches of the same or different hyphae.[8] Hence the bifurcating fungal hyphae can form true reticulating networks. By sharing materials in the form of dissolved ions, hormones, and nucleotides, the fungus maintains bidirectional communication with itself.

fungi date to the Paleoproterozoic era, some 2,400 million years ago (Ma); these multicellular benthic organisms had filamentous structures capable of anastomosis.

  man, u r old. lol

, it is not really a pleasant truth

why not?   
Most of the crap around us have evolved from the same source (the general industry).  It has been for 100 years the single most important source of invention and innovation.  Making weapons and killing people has been the source of inspiration for science and technology.  Cannibalism is the prime characteristic of this specie.  Unlike fungus that promotes and assists cohabitation and biodiversity.

Jihad on systemd promoters

but we have come to the point that we serve technology.

It was not meant in any way unfriendly, but hopefully food for thought.
I know, the little sentence reads cold, yet it is just a summary on the purpose of the human invention of the net, a tool.
If you look closely who and why created the internet, it is not really a pleasant truth.
It is the same as with a knife, another tool, it can be used to cut bread, or to kill.

So, the EFF, an organisation I tend to place a little trust in, tells me I should no longer accept digital certificates issued by QuoVadis. You can read why here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/02/cyber-mercenary-groups-shouldnt-be-trusted-your-browser-or-anywhere-else.

Easy enough you say, just go into your browser and delete the certificates issued by them. Sure,

BUT

Protonmail, an organisation whom I also place a little trust in, issue all their digital certificates through QuoVadis, so if you do delete them you won't even get onto their website let alone be able to exchange secure mail with them.

So which to trust the most (or least) ?

What would you do ?

DarkMatter was already given an "intermediate" certificate by another company, called QuoVadis, now owned by DigiCert.

Indeed....I did not interpret your reply as unfriendly in any way. I referred to "fungalnet's"  stating that "fungi" date back 2.4 million years. I was making the connection "fungal-net > fungi"....in humor.
