Old CAPTCHAs asked: "Can you think?" New reCAPTCHA asks: "Are you compliant?"
Google shifted the question from proving you're human to proving you're their customer. That's not security. That's a loyalty test.
Ep 26 breaks it down 👇

No puedo evitar mencionar que los otros días se registró en esta instancia vapuleada por los bots y scrapers, posiblemente la persona que sepa más sobre protocolos abiertos en Uruguay (si no, pego en el palo) @carlos_cagnazzo que (aunque yo no pude ir), se que estuvo en la FLISoL 2026 en FADU. Pero también estuvo en la FLISoL 2023 que se hizo en el Faro de Ingeniería y dió una charla brillante sobre protocolos abiertos junto a Christian O'Flaherty. Esa joyita de la FLISoL 2023 la tenemos en nuestro escrapeado y golpeado PeerTube Undernet aquí -> https://tube.undernet.uy/w/p/avDUHkqzjWyVkHtuN5JWEg Se imaginarán que al ser una clarla sobre protocolos abiertos, es tan vigente como si la hubiera dado ayer y lo será durante años... Yo la miré un par de veces ya, son conceptos muy importantes que recomiendo fuertemente. Los dejo con el resumen:
Estándares abiertos para protocolos de Internet:
En la actualidad, Internet es una herramienta fundamental en nuestra vida cotidiana, y su éxito se debe en gran parte a la adopción de estándares abiertos para los protocolos de comunicaciones que permiten que diferentes dispositivos y sistemas puedan interactuar entre sí de manera eficiente y segura. En este sentido, el IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de estos estándares abiertos a lo largo de las décadas, trabajando en colaboración con expertos de todo el mundo para crear protocolos que sean nteroperables, flexibles y escalables. En esta charla, hablaremos de la importancia de los estándares abiertos en Internet, su impacto en la innovación y la competencia, y el rol crucial que juega el IETF en el desarrollo de estos protocolos, así como su proceso de trabajo y colaboración global. Los estánders abiertos producidos por la IETF abarcan desde protocolos netamente de comunicaciones como IP, TCP y HTTP hasta codecs de video y protocolos de soporte como DNS. El acceso libre y sin costo a los estándares abiertos es fundamental para la igualdad de oportunidades y la innovación, al permitir que cualquier persona pueda utilizar y contribuir a su desarrollo sin barreras financieras o de propiedad intelectual.
Exponen: Christian O'Flaherty - Internet Society y Carlos Martinez-Cagnazzo - LACNIC

Perhaps one way a small-net browser client could enable people writing HTML to create nicer looking documents (without all the complexities of CSS) is —
By supporting the following attributes on the HTML <body> element:
<body
bgcolor="#141413"
text="#FAF9F5"
link="#FFFFFF"
vlink="#DDDDDD"
alink="#FF0000"
background="stars.png"
bgproperties="fixed"

When you look at the most popular websites, Wikipedia often sticks out as one of the few, or only, that is an obvious part of humanity's commons. And believe it or not, I'd already written that before they brought it up at the end. :-) https://slate.com/podcasts/icymi/2026/04/wikipedia-is-the-most-human-place-on-the-internet #Internet #WorldWideWeb #Wikipedia #commons

I think HTTP should have stayed as an text-based protocol.
(Protocols were traditionally made text-based to make them (more) programmer-legible.)
HTTP/1.1, HTTP/1.0, and HTTP/0.9 are all text based.
The Google created HTTP/3 and HTTP/2 are binary.

This was kind of my experience. But it was when BBS then web forums went to Six Degrees then Friendster. MySpace was mainly great for music discovery. Then Facebook walled garden destroyed it all.

In March 1989, British scientist Tim Berners-Lee handed a document titled “Information Management: A Proposal” to his @CERN supervisor, who called it “vague but exciting.” This proposal would eventually lead to the birth of the World Wide Web (WWW).
Thank you, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for changing the world!

#Mastodon's “quote protection” for “unauthorized” quotes is a farce. It won't show the preview AND not show you the link in the UI of the PWA, but you can trivially look at the JSON to find the link and follow it as any regular link. So can we please just stop the pretense that this is going to do anything to prevent abuse and show the link when the preview is not available, like with ANY OTHER LINK?

Drawing on it own experience in the last couple of weeks, @openDemocracy warn of the danger of data/information scrapers used by AI/LLMs to power their 'agents' which (as we know) increasingly get between the user & that actual website (or more accurately information) they are searching for.
The Q. is are they right that this will change the internet (or perhaps more accurately the World Wide Web) 'as we know it'?

found out that bruce damer's late-90s book on Virtual Worlds and VRML hadn't been properly archived. while the scanned book is on IA, the companion CD-ROM was nowhere to be found
ordered a beat up copy online, which mercifully had the CD intact. i imaged it with dd, and it now lives forever on IA here: https://archive.org/details/avatars_cdrom
it's a win+mac hybrid mode cd with a bunch of totally forgotten virtual worlds clients and servers. i hadn't realized that The Palace included a user-run server with a nice front end, but you had to pay for a registration# to let more than 3 chat clients connect. you could create your own little visual chat shard!
