｢ Humans may visit them less often, but machines will consume them constantly. The website becomes less like a destination and more like a source. Less “come read my article.” More “let the machine ingest my article and maybe mention me if the stars align and the product manager felt generous.” That is a very different Web. It is not the Web I grew up with ｣

#Web3 も #Web4 も、ちょっと検索すると #Web5 ってワードまで出てきたけど、それ系にまったく興味がもててない :spam:
🔗 Web3は失敗していない。ただし、成功もしていない｜Crypto Matters | WIRED.jp https://wired.jp/article/sz-crypto-matters-web3-is-not-dead/#web%E3%81%AF%E4%BA%BA%E3%81%8C%E8%A8%AA%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E5%A0%B4%E6%89%80%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%81%AA%E3%81%8F%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B
#Web3 はそもそも、その "Web" という言葉が意味するものを軽視してるというか、それを礎にした世界観の延長線上にあると考えるのがちょっと間違いというか、Web という言葉を冠する事自体にそもそも実態と違う印象を与えかねないので良くないと思っている。
すくなくとも #WWW としての #Web の延長線上に、 #Web2.0 はたしかにあったけど、その先に #Web3 があるかというと、構図としてそうなってないと（個人的には）思う。
#Web3 って、言葉では「分散型」とか説明されがちだけど、それは理論上・技術的はたしかに分散型と言える側面はあるとしても、どちらかというと既存の #WorldWideWeb の既得権益とか、たとえば既存の銀行組織とかを「中央集権だ」と否定的に見せるための道具として「分散型」を掲げているという側面がある（あった）と思っていて、
実際に、上記の記事中でも
> Web2.0は、すでに起きていた成功に後から付けられた名前だった。
> 〜中略〜
> Web3は逆で、まだ起きていない未来に先に付けられた名前だった。と書かれてるとおり、記事中では #Web3 は「消えたのではなく、分解された」と書いてるけど、
実際には「 #Web3 は、その言葉が意味する現象がすでに現前したという誇大広告がなくては存在できなかったモノ」であって、つまり「消える以前にそもそも生まれてない」という方が正しいと思う。その「現実には存在しなかったものを差す言葉」である #Web3 の意味をあとから都合よくねじ曲げて、「Web3 の約束は AI の宿題になった」とか言われても、後出し感しか感じない。
not fo me :drake_dislike:

I should at some point get around to writing the specifications for the alternative web document markup language I've had in my head forever.
HTML isn't bad, but it is definitely constrained by its position as the default markup language for the whole modern web. They need to cater to everyone, from super fancy corporate websites, massive web applications, social media, video sites, encyclopedias, personal homepages, art projects, hobbyists, to professional webdev engineers ...
I really want something purpose-built for a more semantic, personal hypertext web aimed at enthusiasts.
Perhaps it wouldn't be as versatile as HTML, but it doesn't need to fit all use cases of every possible target audience or be viable for businesses.
I am thinking things like …
- Styling should be handled exclusively by the browser based on semantic elements and application-level user preferences (perhaps minimal style recommendations/hints at best).
- Differentiating types of hyperlinks; internal navigation links, important main links, optional context/rabbithole links etc.
- More granular and specific semantic elements, like the uncoupling of times and dates, splitting address/contact elements into specific fields like e-mail and name, quotations with attributions, definitions etc.
- Integration of other semantic data projects such as MusicBrainz, Wikidata or Wikipedia (holy link rot, but we'll see).
- More obligatory metadata like authorship, tags, publishing/modification date etc.
- Integration of non-search engine discoverability features like webrings, directly on a site level
- Easier cross-document reusable elements, i. e. integrating the same header or footer on each site
- Extensive entity-oriented data support with URIs, e. g. in-line fetching of things like names, pronouns or contact data from a central 'person' entity URL to automatically propagate things like name changes through the web.
… and so on.
I could even experiment with the markup tech itself; it doesn't need to be XML after all. It could even be something like a stand-off annotation document allowing the division of content writing from mark-up. Or something with a similarly simple syntax as Markdown, but with semantic instead of styling information.
And then comes the arduous task of implementing a parser. :popcorn: I'm so excited.

ShieldFont FTW! This is genius.

35 years www. "Try it."

For the 35th anniversary of the first web site launch by @timbl we should remember especially the wonderful help section of this site.
"Put up some data

#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of Alexander Fleming (1881) - best known for discovering world's first antibiotic substance benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G).
USA dropped #Atomic #Bomb on #Hiroshima (1945).
#WWW debuts as a publicly available service on the #Internet (1991).
#Curiosity (rover) landed on #Mars (2012).

Get your shit together CloudFlare!! It's been broken on Firefox for like 3 weeks now. I can't log in to any sites using CloudFlare captcha.
It forces me to switch to Chromium every time I hit this wall. To have such a crucial piece of the web broken for this long on a major browser is insanity to me as a developer.
The general drop in software quality over the last 3 years is unacceptable. Hire more QA people and quit relying exclusively on automation you fools!

I'm not a Ruby/Rails guy, but I'm interested in the software ecosystem as a whole, so I really wish them the best with this effort.
However, this announcement leads me to a pet peeve. If you visit the above link in a web browser, it tells you "pick an app" to view this ... content? Page? Whatever it is.
What you cannot pick, apparently, is "view this in the web browser I'm currently using to read your annoying prompt to use an app".
So congratulations to every FOSS project who does this sort of nonsense and immediately cuts off a significant fraction of their potential audience from ever seeing their "stuff".
Have a damned web site.

"The web is full of independent archives, hobby databases, local news sites, forums, reference works. Decades of accumulated human effort, running on old code, maintained by small teams or single individuals, quietly holding up far more of our shared knowledge than anyone acknowledges."
