Longtime open-source user, advocate, and contributor. I’ve been working with and writing about Linux and open source since 1999. Now writing for LWN.net (@lwn). Become a subscriber here if you're not already! https://lwn.net/subscribe/ I post about Linux, free and open-source software (FOSS), music, cats, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind. Hates gen-AI slop. "When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction." Mark Twain

"I created my first web site in 1995. I hosted the site with my ISP, a local provider in Kirksville, MO. The ISP generously gave its customers a few megabytes of space if they wanted to host a site. The term "static" site didn't really exist then, because most if not all sites were static sites. Just HTML and a few images. No CSS, and certainly no JavaScript—which had not yet been invented."

HTML used to (mostly) be a format for reading and writing documents.
As time went on, it got changed to an application format.
These 2 use-cases (doc vs app) are at odds.
One of the motivations in the small-net / small-web space is to take HTML back to its document format roots. Although some have have chosen to use alternative document formats such as Gemini's and Mercury's GemText.

I missed this but it's brilliant :
« We Need To Rewild The Internet - The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists. » by @mariafarrell@mastodon.social & @robin@mastodon.social Berjon
« Our online spaces are not ecosystems, though tech firms love that word. They’re plantations; highly concentrated and controlled environments … that madden the creatures trapped within. »
