Yes, I can relate to this.

I experienced this for years, until I realized...

I just don't want to commit all that time to a job! Eureka!

When I start working, I turn WiFi off.

It is good for an hour or so.

I think the big picture is that The Onion has reached peak brand value, and its most profitable exploitation mode is to gradually lower content expenditures while maximizing revenue through ad-plastering.

I hope I'm wrong, but that's a general trend I've observed.

nitter.net is down, so here is another Nitter instance:

I think it's a combination of several factors. One is that few people join or leave a bank because of their website. It's usually encountered already after you've deposited your money and it's going to be very inconvenient to leave them.

Another factor is that they typically have a big pile of money budgeted to develop it, which means hiring large teams, which means finding work for many people, which means building a very large complicated website to have something to show for it in the end.

This is where design-by-committee comes into play, which is a third factor, and where all those asinine rules come to play. And don't forget, they are already under the authority of all the regulatory committees, with a committee deciding exactly how to follow another committee's rules.

Have you stopped buying plastic?

Have you stopped buying the myriad "cleaning" products which pollute your home and create pollution in the process of being produced?

Have you stopped buying disposable clothing and plastic trinkets?

If you are still buying these things, you are complicit in this ecocide. And now you know it, too.

Once you stop yourself, you can tell others, too.

Without making changes in your own actions, there's little you can ask of anyone else.

This is a change that will come one individual convincing another individual, one at a time, to stop contributing to the problem.

No one else will do it for us: politicians don't give a fuck, corporations don't give a fuck, regulators don't give a fuck, military doesn't give a fuck, even "scientists" are mostly in the same camp of not giving a fuck, for the most part.

We are the only ones who give a fuck, because it's our close relatives, and soon, us, who are being exterminated.

And we are feeding and building our own extermination machine.

We're in a position with a lot of power, but this is obscured from us. When we trace the strings which run from ecocide to ourselves, it is easy to see what changes we need to make.

It's just a couple of shell scripts:

I found a simple and light screencapture tool and I record my coding sessions into reasonably-sized videos.

Is there a fallback for no-JS users?

I had a similar affair with Picasa, but at least it's allowed to be downloadable. I've never found anything even close to Picasa on responsiveness when browsing photos.

Stories like this is why I rarely bother with proprietary software anymore.

What is most surprising to me is that someone like Jeff Bezos is rubbing shoulders with the masses on WhatsApp.

If I was him, I would have spent a couple million rolling my own, with gateways to web, email, and SMS.

Making fire outdoors is super difficult indeed, just like nuclear fusion.

And just like nuclear fusion, if you really fucking need it, and you dedicate a lot of effort to it, it can be done.

Does anyone know if there is a copy of WorldWideWeb floating around out there somewhere? Or was it exclusive to TBL's computer?

For a few words, it's better than carrying around a dedicated keyboard.

For more typing, I carry around my own standard 104-key keyboard.

I am working on a hyper-open, hyper-compatible, and hyper-accessible forum system with accessibility by historic browser included in the spec.

I use a multi-layer authentication system with various levels of compatibility, security, and accessibility.

* The default mode is unauthenticated, which allows the user to post plaintext. Optionally, this can be backed by a device fingerprint, which would group all of this user's posts together. This is supported by all post-Mosaic browsers, except perhaps Mosaic 1.0, which does not support HTML forms. (For Mosaic, there is a fallback writing mode, of the form http://example.com/your+message+here)

* There is also a cookie-based authentication system, in which the user asks for a new ID, and the server sets cookies for user id and checksum. The checksum is checked against a server secret via hashing, so no storage of account data is needed on the server. This works with all cookie-supporting browsers.

* The other authentication system is based on PGP, and allows the user to either use in-browser PGP (insecure) or client-based PGP (less insecure) to sign their messages. These messages can be both client verified and grouped together into a profile on the server.

One of the many reasons I've stopped buying new things, going for used instead. The off-gassing decreases with time.

Yes, it is great for that.

You only have to read the CSV file once, and after that you have a nice set of tables you can query any which way you want.

I use SQLite as an intermediate step between text files and static HTML, for example.

In New York, not only do you not need a car, but I imagine it's also much easier to rent an off-the-books corner for a couple hundred a month.

This. Do it the stupid way first, I've heard it said.

Thanks for the info on the whitespace. I think I have a post-processing solution for that, which may work.

I will work to find an NT4 original ISO and get IE2 that way.

I've been doing the commenting thing, and found out that Mosaic treats >, not --> as the end of comment token, so I had to remove all > characters from my JS. :D

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I love the feel of IE, it feels like the most OS-integrated browser I've ever used. Of course, Trident was based off the same layout engine as MS Office, so that makes sense.

I still make my sites work in IE, down to IE4, and probably 1-3 too, I just haven't had a chance to test them yet.

I think that in the retro-computing world, IE will be one of the longest browsers still in use.

If I bookmark and keyword it the first time I spend 15 minutes searching for it, I can save 15 minutes next time I need it.

As designed.

This is what I was getting at, honestly. If you look at the supply chain, this pollution is the result of hundreds or thousands of unnecessary "products".

If there was a magical way of convincing every single person in the U.S. to stop buying X, what would we have to stop buying to stop this pollution?

How many of these can output a "standard" access log?

Instructions for how to do that would be a helpful addition to this page.

How is the amount of a transaction fee determined?
