- @vanderwal and now that I've downloaded both, I've found that it's actually the fusion of both of these datasets that might give me what I want, but neither alone would cut it. ()
- @vanderwal Interesting. This is the link I used: https://www. goodreads.com/dsar/user ()

- @fasterandworse Browsers are user agents—their role in the web ecosystem is to act on behalf of the user, not the website operator. Features like Reader Mode, Distraction Control, ad blockers, would all be disallowed in the world you describe. ()

the difference between being 0.2 miles from a light rail station and 0.6 miles from one: you might think it’d best be characterized as 0.4 miles but it is actually a completely different dimension

- @vanderwal interesting. My data export contains a bunch of zip files, each of which contains JSON files. No CSV in sight. I must have gone down a different data export path on their website. ()
- Books in #GoodReads personal data export are represented by title only. No author information, no ISBN, no publisher, no publication date, no edition info, no URLs. Ugh. #indieweb ()

What is "the Web"? We have some too-narrow definitions like "that thing Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browse", and some too-broad definitions like "anything built with HTML, CSS, and Javascript." So far I've got that the #Web is composed of documents (resources? objects?) 1. that can be visited and interacted with using a person's choice of user agent, 2. that have names (URLs) by which anyone in the world can refer to them and get to them, 2a. for which visiting doesn't cost a disproportionate amount, so that browsing is practical, and 3. that recommend other such documents by linking to them. A bunch of this is going to be fuzzy, but it seems fine for something to be more or less part of the Web instead of definitely in or out. What am I missing?

I'm sad that the Line Mode and WWW Browser emulators are no longer working. They provide such a clear example of the vision for a *resilient* web, and such a tangible connection to early web history. https://worldwideweb30.com Maybe there's a metaphor here about how resilience takes effort, and rarely gets funding? This history is worthwhile, and deserves some basic maintenance. I think the project was lead by CERN in 2019/2020, but maybe something the @w3c@w3c.social would consider taking on?

Not quite sure my meaning, or even my understanding is clear... I'm musing on my family history, I suppose. I wish society was less intense, less rigid in its expectations, so that we could hold space for more different kinds of people - and - that when people stumble and fall, because we're only human, there were more options available to everyone, to allow for recovery.

Many people have forgotten Tim Berners-Lee's article "Cool URIs don't change", which emphasizes that links should be designed to be persistent. It suggests avoiding elements that are prone to change in links to ensure their long-term validity.

I think the Blewsky bridges are a terrible idea and long-term harmful, but that aside, how can anyone stand to read them at all? The bridged quote-posts aren't quote-posts, don't include the text, and include a giant URL that you can't read without logging in over there. (Yes yes, the food was terrible and the portions were so small.)

The internet is best when knowledge is shared openly. This is why this legendary ramen ebook on google docs is still a towering achievement. I think it has been directly responsible for good ramen existing in some places that didn't have good ramen for a very long time https://docs.google.com/document/d… #Food #Ramen #Cooking #Recipes

Here's a #photo I took last night as I was walking near Trafalgar Sq, #London . I'd walked past that same spot before and had already noticed the captivating yellow neon, but last night I noticed someone hunched over a laptop out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't help stopping to take a photo - it looked a bit like a cyberpunk scify film. I hope the photo does it justice!
