Lovely. > This page is copyright 2005 by Graeme Cole. What are you allowed to do with it? Pfft. Anything within the realms of common sense, really. I don't want to prescribe rigidly what people can and can't do with it, so I've decided on a benchmark. It's this: you're allowed to do with this page anything you wouldn't mind me doing with your cat. So yes, you can photoshop it for comedy effect, you can copy bits of i…

I was going to say the man invented CC-BY before there was CC-BY, but apparently, the first CC licenses came out in 2002.

Pretty sure the value of the CC licenses isn't that they invented any particular set of restrictions and freedoms, but that they applied enough lawyer energy so that the wording of those sets would be compatible with law systems.

Did, you know? Html table for layout are not harmful (screen reader can go thru them). HTML 2D document instead of 1D document.

You add basic (x)html forms on top of that, you can do wonders, without a big tech web engine (no surprise from them pushing the web to work only in their engines...).

It took me here https://greem.co.uk/otherbits/jelly.html Nailing jelly to a wall: is it possible? Which I think is HN worthy in its own right. Also the author of that page and I have the same toaster.

Once the question was posed I had to know! This whole thread ia brilliant, I do miss the old web.

The “old web” is still there, as evidenced by this page and the submission. We didn’t lose anything. New things just came and made more noise. You can still set up a static HTML site in an afternoon.

It's awesome how you can stumble upon sites that are so funny or interesting (in multiple ways) that you just want to share them immediately forward. Everyone says it but it's true: something just got lost in translation when social media pages ate the whole internet.

What I've found consistently scarier this past decade+ is the casualness and seeming inevitability with which vast swathes of the population can be captured by unfavorable technology and social spaces or narratives. And yeah, what you and others here often enough describe(d) are the shadows on the wall. Keeping civilization and culture on track really is a constant struggle.

Vast swaths of the population are uninteresting rubes. Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter are all doing us a favor by keeping those people occupied and their drivel contained.

They didn’t eat the entire Internet. They didn’t even eat the web. They set up parallel walled gardens. The web is still there. Personal websites just don’t scale to the masses. This is fine and probably for the best.

As opposed to 'crayon' licenses that make up their own terms and cause legal uncertainty

I had a great IPT teacher in high school who open sourced his class plan on http://wonko.info.

Hit site was inspired by old mud games. It’s meant to be fun and educational.

There’s also some micro sites on there where he tried to win worst website awards.
