Privacy matters! But what if the tools meant to protect us are being misused? Our latest study (to appear ARES '24) reveals surprising facts about HTTP Client Hints (HTTP CHs) on the Web. [THREAD]

Aujourd'hui on fête les 31 ans de l'arrivée du World Wide Web dans le domaine public.

Le 30 avril 1993, le CERN renonce à la propriété intellectuelle sur cette invention pour permettre à tout le monde de créer et visiter des sites web gratuitement. #web #www

35 years after first proposing the World Wide Web, what does its creator Tim Berners-Lee have in mind next?

"After seeing the balance of power shift to large corporations and big tech companies, the founder of the World Wide Web is determined to give users control over their data again." -- #TimDanton

wenn ich auf einer seite die kein #HTTPS hat, keine daten eingebe und mich nicht anmelde etc. also nur rumscrolle und klicke gibt es keine erhöteres sicherheit-/Privatsphärerisiko oder?

sollte es nicht zu empfhelen sein, gibt es eine methode es trotzdem sicher/anonym zu machen?

weil es gibt immer wieder #webseiten mit lediglich #http die ich sehr gerne anschauen würde..

Going back to the actual point that matters most, to me at least.
What's the total carbon footprint of the advertising and social media-based web? (Not just the highly optimised servers)

I'm pretty sure it could be a lot less. The web is not as wonderful as some people think. We need to make it a lot better.

Oh the irony, it's actually really hard to read the original proposal for the #WWW by Tim Berners-Lee because it was written with Microsoft Word for Mac.

Kids, stay away from proprietary file formats if you want to access your work in its original form in a couple years.

jay, to web

❔ Referring to the World Wide Web, do you capitalize the words "Internet" & "Web" when you use them in a sentence?

I was doing research today & noticed the AP Stylebook changed them to non-capitalized words in 2016 (See Wired article: https://www.wired.com/2016/04/ap-finally-realizes-2016-will-let-us-stop-capitalizing-internet). I've been capitalizing these words since the 90's. To me, it seems like they should be proper nouns. What's your take on the subject?

Anyone have thoughts on the #DuckDuckGo browser? Been using it 2 weeks, IMHO it's not bad but missing some basic features and not quite ready for prime time. Also it just crashed on me and won't reopen my previous session when I re-started. Back to @Vivaldi, eh? #Internet #Browser #Tech #Web #WWW

I’m on record somewhere on Usenet saying that the WWW will never catch on. After using the Lynx Browser text-based WWW browser. When I was using CIX and its Usenet gateway.

Proper graphical browsing changed everything. Even if the original tranche of websites were overly garish. Including the first one I created for in-house use in the IT team where I worked. #WWW

I just noticed a funny change in the "cookie banner" you see on many websites. Suddenly they started to turn on by default a ton of 3rd parties with the annotation "legitimate interest". The last website I was on had like over 60 3rd parties with "legitimate interest".

TOTALLY not sus at all. 🤔

Any experts on Fedi? I'm trying to set up a web server and having a lot of trouble with permissions.
Attached is the error message we're getting. The user we're running everything under has permission to the mentioned log file, so I have no idea how to fix this. Any pointers would be appreciated, never done anything with Laravel before.

✍️ @Meyerweb reflects on the 30th anniversary of the first time he wrote an HTML document.

Back in 1993, he took a Usenet posting of the “Incomplete Mystery Science Theater 3000 Episode Guide” and marked it up.

Chciałbym powiadomić, że nasza strona https://warroza.pl jest robiona całkowicie bez użycia automatycznych modeli statystycznych będących zaawansowanymi predyktorami zwanymi dla niepoznaki (albo celowo) sztuczną inteligencję. Z przyzwyczajenia klepania w mechaniczną klawirę tłukę nawet opisy streszczenia <meta> do każdego postu wedłyg własnego widzi misie spontanicznego, a nie statystycznej poprawnosci SEO. Czy jest jeszcze ktoś kto to docenia "handmade" internetowy? Czy jest jakiś znaczek / logo które mógłbym wkleić na stronę: robione przy użyciu umysłu, albo bez Ai. czy coś. :)

P.s. A propos: Ale też nie do końca przemawia do mnie koncepcja jako protopanpsychiście, że od razu trzeba mieć nie wiadomo jaką samoświadomość własnego widzi-misie, aby być bytem inteligentnym. W ogóle rzadko rozumiem kryterium świadomościowe, bo IMHO jest to sprawa wielce rozmyta. ;)

techygeek, to technology

One thing I hate about surfing the web is the constant logging in to every single website. Gone are the days to view a website, get some info or just simply view the site and leave when you need to. To even look at the site, your walled by a login screen. Yes I do have a password vault, logging in all the time is trash!
