some big sites have a terrible user interface. With the size of teams behind the development of them, I don't understand they cannot do something better.
I almost think about ebay and facebook (yes I have an account for some association activities only).
I have to replace the tool I use to generate static website https://pages.casa
Publii builds a site which does not comply with the #smolweb guidelines.
I'm looking after a big (such as 10000x6000px or more) png or webp map of world with all countries and their names, without watermark.
It's so strange that a so basic file is so difficult to find... The web search engines are really broken.
Choosing Between #Smolweb and #Gemini: Advantages and Drawbacks
In the ever-evolving landscape of decentralized and minimalist web (and net) technologies, two platforms stand out: Smolweb and Gemini, if we forget good old Gopher. Both offer alternatives to traditional web browsing, emphasizing simplicity, speed, and privacy. But which is the right choice for you? [...]
@ramsey I agree with devs, I use Xfce Desktop and I cry each time an app is converted to the Gnome design. The simple theme of my desktop is not applied any more, even the choice I did about the place of the close button is not respected. So I have windows with a thin title bar and button on a side, and others with a huge bar and the buttons on the other side. I hate the dictatorship of this project ๐
And some apps have menus everywhere (a burger one on a side, some button on the other...
In the vast landscape of the internet, where bloated websites reign supreme, there lies a humble yet powerful movement: the SmolWeb! Embracing simplicity, efficiency, and accessibility, SmolWeb challenges conventional web development practices. If you're a web developer seeking a new perspective, here's why and how you should consider writing SmolWeb sites [...]
I think that it's a good idea to have a look to it, because this design can be fully compatible with #smolweb concept. A bit different from minimalism, a website adopting #Brutalism may be lightweight and with its own singularity.
If you want to build a smolweb site, you should study this concept.
Be careful, some Brutalist templates exist but use heavy framework, avoid them.
I wonder if it would be possible to configure my #postfix mail server to reject emails from #GMail and #Microsoft (replying they are not accepted because of spying users) ๐ค
Is it a good idea? Is there anybody doing that?
I know it will cut me out of many contacts but I really don't want to be targeted by their algorithms.

"Everyone talks about the privacy-washing campaigns of Google and Apple as they mine your online data to generate advertising revenue. But now it looks like Outlook is no longer simply an email service(new window); itโs a data collection mechanism for Microsoftโs 801 external partners and an ad delivery system for Microsoft itself."
๐ฑ more than 8 hundred external partners!!! ๐คก
Do you remember, several decades ago, when icons, buttons, logos, smileys.. were all stored in a unique gif or png image on your website ?
This image was cut by background-image css rules to extract elements from it with position, height, width and shifting. So, there were only one request to the server to grab all the design elements.
That was funny and tricky to do.
I wonder if some sites still works that way ๐ค
@thomastospace same for me, the local timeline of phpc.social is a very good resource for php and web developers. I often have a look to it.
That's why the number of followers rise matter so much on the Fediverse ๐
