Seeing the full URL is a "Developer" option in the Gnome Web browser (FKA Epiphany). Otherwise you just get the TLD + domain. 🤷
I think that every GUI tool that in some way edits files should have a way to "reveal this file in file browser".
What I like about huge soccer championships is that some high profile players will release new branded granola bars that I can try.
Perhaps you had an agent write the article and didn't read it yourself, but it contains this phrase:
If I had to simplify even further, I’d explain the big shifts in the web like this: READ -> READ/WRITE -> READ/WRITE/AGENTIC
So it is about simplification.
If you don't want articles to be perceived as discussing history, I would recommend not including years of perceived periods.
As for the "read only web", where do you think websites that users were reading were coming from? Nobody would have been interested in the web if there was no "writing" from the beginning.
Shameless meta/facebook agent bot brought down my Mediawiki. Now it's getting redirected to https://worst.case.zenr.io/blog/ which is stewarded by @JulianOliver@mastodon.social
Anyone in for some more mysteriously colored circle shaped window title bar widgets?
This is what happens when everybody cancels their copilot subscriptions 😅 Microsoft, who bought 90% of all (future) captured carbon in 2025 isn't renewing their commitments. https://archive.ph/E3gDW

The company making @kotjatko@automation.lialina.work's GPS tracker added a weekly AI summary of his activities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nothing means anything anymore.
This is the menu in Google Mail that allows users to sort the list of messages by either oldest or newest. It uses "disabled" styling for the "active" element, meaning: the list shows the newest messages on top, but the visual suggests the "newest" option is not available in general. I thought this had been figured out in the 1980's…
If I hear "unlock" one more time…

Great if much too short lecture by @shibacomputer@post.lurk.org, very much looking forward to further explorations on digital aestheticized resistance
Some strange reversals have happened in interface design in the last few years. For instance, many of the buttons displayed on screen don't change the state of an application, but change the state of the user. Typical examples are of such buttons are labeled with "get started", "explore", or "see more", "launch experience", etc... These are basically links to other parts of an application and do not activate or change anything significant in the computer or for other users. They're more about making the user repeat a mantra, or change their attitude before they can access the next piece of information. Always reminds me of Mouchette's "Kill That Cat"
