I kinda like that I am as far away from the web world as possible. The only time I deal with anything web-related making a static blog software for myself. As Alan Kay puts it, web is ill, because it has been a hack from day -1. Every time you make a web application, you are using a mule to carry a city worth of cargo on its back.

Web was created for static pages. Use it for static pages. The only website that does not do this and I use is Youtube. I only then visit HackerNoon and Lemmy instances, both of which come out of Web's tube of shit proud.

i wish I could post my conversation (barely a conversation, what do I have to converse with someone who's worked with magnetic core, I just agreed) with Alan Kay on Quora, but I tried to login, and it was so bloated, I could not find the conversation.

I apologize if this hurts your feelings that your 'lil protocol sucks. Read about Dough Englebert's NLS.

Thanks.
