It’s kind of wild how easily we’ve accepted that to access links to Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc we’re going to have to edit them by hand to go to a slightly different address so they’ll be usable. A lot of that is because X, Instagram, and TikTok want to force you to log in. And Reddit provides their own fix link but they broke their www mainly because they’re incapable of making a usable modern interface AND they want to force you to log in.

(If I didn’t include your favorite, it’s because no one tries to link me to it. 🤷‍♀️)

Pretty crazy in the days of #ModernWeb ... I read the entire article. Phew!

FWIW, Christian Heilmann is here on Mastodon - @codepo8

What should we do? Imagine if e.g. .. the EU decided to make an ad-free web-search tool. That would seriously 'forkoff' all those wonderful people like Zuckerberg and Musk etc. etc. etc. Something like a national library. Potential BLISS!

I've just read this comment about "Million Lint":

million.dev/blog/lint.en-US

"This reminds me of a hammer I had with a broken handle. Instead of replacing the handle, I attached the hammer to a helmet and whenever I want to drive a nail, I would wear the hammer and swing my head. But sometimes I miss and hit my head against the wall instead. So to fix that, I added some padding to my forehead and now it doesn’t hurt at all.

Problem solved!!"

My latest journey in #modernweb:

1 slidedeck.

3 download buttons.

2+ different captcha approaches.

1 or 2 rounds of 60-second countdowns before the *actual* download button appears. It feels like I made it to Round Two of a quiz show.

How I know and why did I press them all in the first try, you ask?

Because the slide order was mixed up in the first one. So they even serve different content!

Oh, and of course I get other slides recommended because they also have a "Chapter 8".

Obviously.
