  3. Oh look, #Nvidia wants to shove a "beast" of a #CPU into your Windows PC 🦖, because what we really need is a bigger power bill and more fan noise, right? Meanwhile, the article's JavaScript error suggests it's written on a potato 🥔, offering a brilliant showcase of cutting-edge web technology circa 1998.

  5. Ah yes, the groundbreaking #innovation in web technology: a cookie monster that politely redirects you to the "real page" 📜, assuming you haven't fallen into a coma waiting for #JavaScript to do its job. Because nothing screams cutting-edge like a loading screen from 1999. 🕰️🔄

  9. WordPress Meetup Bonn #101 - Von WordPress zu KI

    SISTRIX Plex, Mittwoch, 1. April um 19:00 MESZ

    WordPress zu KI — wie Websites in Zukunft entstehen.
    Sven Wagener nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise von der Gegenwart in eine nicht allzu ferne Zukunft. Er führt uns in die KI-Zukunft von Webseiten und zeigt auf, wie sich die Webseitenerstellung vereinfacht und beschleunigt.

    "KI verändert die Webentwicklung grundlegend. Was früher Stunden an Theme-Anpassung und Plugin-Konfiguration brauchte, erledigt ein KI-Agent heute in Minuten — mit besserem Code, schnelleren Ladezeiten und ohne die typischen WordPress-Probleme. In diesem Vortrag zeige ich anhand konkreter Live-Demos, wie moderne KI-Entwicklung funktioniert und was das für die Zukunft von Content-Management-Systemen bedeutet."

    Für unser Bonner Meetup treffen wir und bei der Fa. Sistrix, die vielen von euch durch ihr SEO-Tool ein Begriff ist. Sistrix öffnet uns ihren Schulungsraum im SISTRIX-Plex in Bonn (Florentiusgraben 21-23, 53111 Bonn), nur wenige Gehminuten vom Bonner Hauptbahnhof entfernt und in direkter Nähe der Fußgängerzone. Für Getränke ist gesorgt.

    Wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen mit alten Bekannten und darauf, neue WordPress-Interessierte zu treffen.

  12. Ah, the zenith of web technology in 2023: turn on #JavaScript and #cookies or be doomed to internet obscurity 🤡. Clearly, the Codex of the future has cracked the code of #innovation by demanding we do exactly what we've been doing for decades. 🎉 Well done, #humanity.

  14. RSS: The Forgotten Technology That Gave Us Control Over the Web

    The Death of RSS Was the Death of the Real Internet

    By Sydney Butler, Published 20 hours ago

    RSS might not be dead in the strict sense of the word. After all, we still have the How-To Geek RSS feed and people still use it. It’s just that RSS has sharply declined to almost nothing, and it’s simply not how people get their content pushed to them anymore.

    Which is a real shame, because RSS represents the best parts of the web and the internet as a whole that we’ve largely lost.

    The Golden Age of RSS

    RSS (Really Simple Syndication) was invented by three smart folks at Netscape. You remember Netscape, right? Ironically, Netscape would pretty much leave RSS to the rest of the web community to develop, and develop it they did. RSS was pretty quickly embraced by online publishers as an easy way to push their latest content to readers.

    RSS was beautifully simple. Any website could publish a feed, and any user could subscribe to it with a reader. No algorithms. No gatekeepers.

    Why RSS Mattered

    The brilliance of RSS was how it leveled the playing field. A major publication with thousands of staff writers and a small hobbyist blog with a single post every few weeks looked exactly the same in your feed.

    You are the curator of your feed, and have ultimate control of what ends up in your RSS reader of choice. RSS also solved a problem we’ve never really fixed since: discovery and distribution without middlemen.

    In those early days of the web, if you wanted to know the latest stuff, you physically had to hit that refresh button manually. Sure, you could subscribe to an email newsletter, but that meant receiving your headlines at set intervals rather than as they were published.

    RSS is a simple technology that lets us change the web from a passive resource to an active, relevant flow of information that we control. I remember back in the early 2000s when I was still messing around with Rainmeter, I always had an RSS widget that kept me in the loop on topics relevant to my interests or my studies.

    The Decline of RSS

    The biggest sign that RSS wasn’t really used much anymore came when browsers started dropping RSS support. Google Chrome scrapped RSS features in 2013 and a few years later Firefox followed suit in 2018. With built-in RSS reader functionality dropped, most people using these browsers wouldn’t even know it was an option, and are less likely to jump through hoops to set up a dedicated reader, even if it is easy.

    Though I’m not blaming the browser developers. They wouldn’t have dropped RSS features if lots of people were using them. It’s a death spiral where usage declined beyond the point it was worth maintaining the feature, and without the feature usage is unlikely to recover.

    Why did RSS use decline so much? Probably several reasons. Some sites stopped running their feeds, we moved over to apps that have push notifications, and websites can now also send push notifications through your browsers—something they ask for every time you visit unless you disable that feature.

    We have plenty of solutions to getting instant updates from the web that don’t require a manual setup, and often don’t even wait for us to ask, but get in your face.
