#web20 — Public Fediverse posts

"With every leap in technological advancement, we witness a fierce urge to undo it. Technologies are invented, attacked, delayed, dropped, delayed, re-emerge, vanish again"

Thomas Dekeyser guest blogging in Brian Merchant's Blood in the Machine 👉🏻 https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-brief-history-of-techno-negativity

Wonder whether that techno-negativity was as fierce in the good old #Web20 / #Enterprise20 days than nowadays with #GenAI. Did we miss it? 🤔

[Перевод] Document PiP vs window.open

Всем привет! Меня зовут Максим Иванов . Сегодня я хотел бы провести небольшой исторический экскурс и объяснить, почему Document Picture-in-Picture — это не просто способ отображать видео в формате « картинка в картинке », а новое и любопытное API, которое потенциально может заменить привычный всем window.open. Возможность выводить видео в режиме PiP появилась еще в сентябре 2018 года в Chrome 69. С тех пор прошло более семи лет активного тестирования и развития. В 2019 году подобный механизм появился в Safari, а к 2020-му — и в Firefox. Теперь, когда почти каждый браузер умеет открывать видео в отдельном плавающем окне, возникает логичный вопрос: могут ли браузеры с той же легкостью открывать в отдельном окне интерактивный HTML-контент, а не только видео? И если да, то каким образом? Давайте поговорим об этом ниже.

Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it

In the olden days, publishing a site on the Internet required that you figure out hosting and have at least some experience with HTML, CSS, and the other languages that make the Internet work. But the emergence of blogging and "Web 2.0" sites in the late '90s and early 2000s gave rise to a constellation of services that would offer to host all of your thoughts without requiring you to build the website part of your website. The TypePad shutdown is rough news for the site's remaining user base—and it's yet another tranche of old Internet content that will only be available via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, when it's available at all.

Es brauche das #Instrumentarium der #Sozialwissenschaft​en, um die #enorm​e #Flut #digital​er #Information​en #kritisch zu #reflektieren und ihr #Sinn zu geben. Ein #Beispiel für die #Wiederentdeckung eines #Theorem​s aus #vordigital​er #Zeit sei der #Vorschlag, #Ordnungsbildung im #Web20 mithilfe der #Theorie #soziale​r #Welt​en von Anselm S. #Strauss zu #untersuchen.

Around 2008 (+/- 3y) was the time, when that Internet (TM) #web20 has died. We believed in the freedom of speech and stuff.

After that, the (a) social #web30 brought us to algorithmic controlled mindset of people based on the most populist content.

It's legit. Populist stuff creates the most emotions thus clicks thus money.

So, do not blame single players. Blame walled gardens with capitalist interest.

#LLM tech is about to kill anything where people are able to contribute:

The Future of #Comments is Lies, I Guess

"I strongly suspect the only reason #Mastodon hasn’t been eaten alive by LLM #spambots is because we’re just not big enough to be lucrative. But those economics are shifting, and even obscure ecological niches can be worth filling."

Back to Web 1.0? 🤨😞

#spam #moderation #web20

I will never forgive del.icio.us !!! @openlink.bsky.social will fix bookmarking once and for all, leveraging an #AI Agent that's loosely coupled with #LLMs and #DataSpaces (databases, knowledge graphs, and file system doc collections). #Web20 has cost everyone so much.

del.icio.us

@lispi314 @atomicpoet Yes!

Clients (User-Agents) and Servers have to be loosely-coupled, which is what open standards have always enabled. Typically, #BigTech conflates both via tightly-coupled proprietary implementations tucked behind compelling #UI/#UX -- a technique that's worked successfully all the way up to the #Web20 implosion.

@atomicpoet,

The gut-response is always a #Twitter vs @Mastodon comparison. I fell for that initially, but quickly realized how Mastodon was a game-changer on a new level.

Fundamentally, Twitter has destroyed the #Web20 model while Mastodon has unleashed the #Fediverse (a #Web30 paradigm collective).

#BigSocial and #BigTech (in general) have opened the eyes of many, moving the innovation pendulum back to the #Web 😀

@aniltj,

"..And a core component that they are trying to break is the first class support for JSON-LD within the standard, that gives the data representation its power and flexibility."

Yep!

Unfortunately for them, #Fediverse apps exist, and the broader community is much wiser due to the #Web20 experience.

#JSONLD is a #JSON dialect that makes it easier to harness the fundamental essence of the #Web:

Name everything unambiguously using a #Hyperlink to make #DataConnectivity magic happen.

@atomicpoet,

Regarding "Personal data is the new oil." [1], the #Fediverse will take us to a better place where "Personal data is the new electricity" conducted via hyperlinks [2].

Oil reflects the current extractive (and polluting) mindset that drives #Web20 #DataSilos and #SurveillanceCapitalism.

Electricity aligns with technological inflection that ushers in a new frontier :)

@nilsvissenberg,

Yep!

A picture speaks a thousand words!

#Web20 silos are dead++.

Our #ODSBriefcase module hasn't changed an iota since it was created in the early days of the #Blogosphere.

What's changed is the fact that more tools are now using existing open standards (#RSS, #ActivityStreams, #Atom, #ActivityPub etc.) thanks to the #Web20 implosion (punctuated by #Twitter's recent dysfunction).

Open standards ensure interoperability and loose-coupling -- which ensures better solutions and longevity :)

Nice Introduction to Linked Data by Tom Murphy at: http://bit.ly/dpGpz3 . #linkeddata #socialmedia #e20 #web20 #scrm

Does anyone know of a platform independent solution for verifiable user identity, delivered by any #web20, #e20, #socialmedia platform?

A single #WebID is the "Magic Key" for #meshing disparate #linkeddata across: #Facebook #LinkedIn #Plaxo #MySpace #web20 #e20 platforms etc.
