TELL ME YOUR FIVE FAVOURITE GREENDAY SONGS
I never liked web 3.0 for the most part. Bloated trash. I’ll take pure HTML any day.
Kids these days will never experience every web page looking like this.
I also blame search engines. I type like “python file open parameters” and I really just want the official docs. They’re not even on the first page of DDG.
On my free trial of kagi the official docs are the very first result without any lenses or settings. I will be buying subscription soon because while not always but sometimes the results are better by a long shot over ddg and google for me.
I’ve heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep
Trust me, I thought the same, but its honestly almost life changing. Takes me right back to 2008 internet where I could find the shit I wanted. Very little seo and slop.
Kagi, mullvad, ublock origin with huge AI and ad blocklist waterfox (or Firefox) and private DNS are MUST HAVES to use the internet today.
Try the 5 dollar kagi first.
Hello, what do you mean when you say private dns?
Either mullvad DNS or nextdns.
Mullvad DNS is free for anyone to use. You can either change it within mullvad or in your network settings on your device or router. Pm me and I can help ya.
Basicakly results in less tracking and ads. Sometimes better network performance.
Lemming nerds correct if I’m wrong !
Oh that makes sense. Thanks. I was confused.
6 Reddit threads, a bunch of YouTube videos of people with shocked faces (why are they surprised?), an AI summary that may discuss something related to your query or may talk about ways to get a snake to open its mouth, several articles, pretty much anything except the reference manual.
I think the next underground social network should be called “car insurance.”
Nobody would ever find it through a search engine.

A curated list of small sites and blogs
Cloudhiker.net is another Stumbleupon clone. also Ye Olde Blogroll for finding indie blogs (blogroll.org)
Micro.blog and bearblog.dev both have great communities too, if you’re into blogging.
and finally: check out neocities, it’s like geocities but still alive
No one seems to know exactly what “modern” means when it comes to “modern design”. If you ask ten different developers, you get 11 different answers.
My rule of thumb when I see “modern design” touted as a feature is that the developer chose form over function at every turn.
That is a good definition. As an ex-website designer, I hate the new formats with their bloated flow and flashy appearance while the content is everywhere. Give me some tables and preloaded image sizes so the page loads fast and stops jumping all over the place.
And they all look the same. Maybe because everyone just grabs the same template and there aren’t any out there actually trying new looks.
As a current web developer I’m with you except for the tables. I hate tables with a burning, fiery passion.
I do like responsive design to account for mobile, tablet, and desktop so I try to blend that with classic “just works / just here for the data” layouts and generally minimize the flash in favor of the content. In other words, my projects go to a lot of work to look that simple lol.
I know, divs are better, and I did use them once they came about. But tables were what you used back in the beginning, had to.
I appreciate responsive design, there’s some brilliant things out there. And I got out just as the whole smart phone thing started, and THAT was a nightmare that made the browser wars simple by comparison.
I remember tables, if you made the webpages in Publisher it would be tables all the way. I tought it was quite the thing back then, I guess 20-25 years ago?
This person would love to spend an afternoon on neocities and see what people are still creating
