Ignoring the security implications, I miss kb large old raw html websites that loaded instantly on DSL internet. Nowadays shit is too fancy because hardware allows that, but I feel we’re just constantly running into more bugs first and then worry about them later.
Edit: I’ve thought more about it, and I think I just missed the simplicity of the internet back then. There’s just too much bloat these days with ad trackers and misinformation. I kinda forgot just how bright and eye jarring most old UIs were lol.
This web thing is okay, but it will never replace Gopher.
Gopher is still alive :)
See?
Ahh ok. It sounded like “i miss gopher”.
I was joking. The first thing was something I actually said around 1993.
