One of the smaller things that grates about the crypto push is its boosters just unilaterally redefining “web 2.0” to mean “the big platforms like Facebook and Google”. It didn’t mean that! It meant “Ajax websites that don’t need to be refreshed every time the content changes”!

People seem to be redefining Web 2.0 as Facebook, etc, that own data, but Web 2.0 at the time was platforms like WordPress, Odeo, Six Apart, Flickr, Technorati, and http://del.icio.us that had open data and interoperated. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ross/49490304 https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1479636522282455042

@aaronpk Hi! First of all thanks for the live streams. Great learning how things work even when the don't and you figure it out live. I love your website. What are you using to run it? Dumb no tech question.

Thanks! aaronpk.tv is a giant pile of ugly PHP and HTML! Nothing fancy!

Setting up Chrome as the default browser on Windows 11 is ridiculous. Not only it throws THREE dialogs during the process, I had to manually switch TEN dropdowns 1 by 1. Tasteless bordering unethical, likely insurmountable for non tech savvy users.
❤️ my surface, don’t love this.

Big yikes. Didn't they learn anything from, I dunno, a certain antitrust case a while back?

I think this is the first time the "elevator" on a plane has made sense to me!

Too bad it has nothing to do with the quadcopters I want to fly but I need to learn it for the test anyway 😅

software you've purchased that auto-updates to a new version and makes you buy a new license is worse than software that is just a straight subscription model, just saying

No one was, or is, waving centralization flags. The only thing happening right now is the people waving decentralization flags are accusing everyone else who doesn't care or support their movement to be on the opposing side.

A typical website visit in 2022

1. Figure out how to decline all but essential cookies
2. Close the support widget asking if I need help
3. Stop the auto-playing video
4. Close the “subscribe to our newsletter” pop-up
5. Try and remember why I came here in the first place
