Someone else to consult is @pfrazee.com, who made the Mother of All Demos of this idea and has a lot of thoughts on it I'm sure. Beaker Browser deserves an entire chapter in a dweb history book.

I have been hiding under the couch since I saw this

Honestly if I knew I had to complete @pfrazee.com's "feats of strength" obstacle course upon arrival I would have skipped #atmosphereconf this year

And a marathon finish line just outside

See you there dude

There's a sentiment split between people that use this stuff for fixing bugs in html (etc), and people whose main exposure is viral 8 fingered slop art on social media doom scroll feeds. The former perceives it as a potential tool, the latter perceives it as a potential threat. They're both right?

I also hand coded HTML back in the olden days and indeed HTML5/JS/CSS is a different animal. In optimizing the web for apps we also threw away the simplicity. Not everyone is a coding genius and can read and understand a giant CSS manual. Most people can't even center a div. I'm in that statistic.

I recognize that this will not be a popular opinion, but I think it's true. And I hope people will read the whole thing before they start yelling at me based on the headline.

Very cool idea!

I'm in

Update on Bing: The block seems to have been removed! Sites are slowly starting to re-index. Special thanks to @ashleybelanger.bsky.social for this really helpful article and visibility.

We now have a direct contact at Microsoft we're communicating with to see how this can be prevented again.

Neocities Is Blocked by Bing Over the past few months, the Bing search engine has completely blocked the domain neocities.org, including the front site and all user subdomains (example.n...

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.

We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.

Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

Files have always been the superior interface, this is still true. When I had 100k mp3s I couldn't even use iTunes because the fcking indexer would crash trying to load all of them into the interface. "Songs/Artist/Album Name/01 - Title.mp3" was a perfect interface, fast to load, and easy to use.

Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate

If Google let other users reply to reviews they would finally have that successful social network they always wanted.

I'm eating lunch there now, the place is packed and it's great.

Don't read negative reviews of a restaurant to learn anything about the restaurant, read them to learn how insane the reviewers are.

Check out this full-blown existential crisis about greed, illegal child labor, and the slow death of the American dream for a review of a mom and pop SANDWICH SHOP.

Interesting variation on the "give us a link to our shitty spam site so we can improve its page rank" grift. Most of the time it's something like "Hello, I'm a teacher and my students wanted you to add this link!" but this one rolls in like Bluto from Popeye.

Jevons paradox - Wikipedia

@jwynia.com reminded me of Jevons' paradox this morning, I wonder if that's what's going on here.

Trying to figure out how to process this.. I love the idea of simpler browsers but I think that conversation is over.. cutting all of the funding for browser development seems like a great way to shove everyone into hyper addictive social media apps on monopolistic app stores and kill the web.

DDoS is a part of life unfortunately, of any online service, of any scale. Mastodon is far easier to DDoS because you just winnuke the crappy unpatched VPS it's being hosted on and then the hosting provider blackholes your server.

DDoS is a universal, mandatory training on resilience improvement.

The cool thing about bootstrapping too is you can attack problems that are on a longer time scale. When you get investors you're not just adding people that need exponential money back you're also adding a stopwatch.
