However the fun little program requires:

- cloudflare: you afraid of ddos?
- google fonts, gstatic : sigh... thats just basic text.
- jsdelivr: why dont you host this?
- twitter: why do we need them to run some js from musk?

... why use all this? This is a simple tool. All that resources are not good web hygiene.

I'm not forced to use this tool sure, but it abuses all the visitors that are just looking for fun. Not cool.

@f4grx @stephaniewalter I read this and I agree. But my first thought (ADHD) was: I think an iceberg murdered this person's loved ones.

Most folks cobble stuff together and seek a thing that does the job. Some folks are malicious. This creates a confusing landscape but it's also all I've ever known the web to be.

Beating on something that brings joy to people doesn't get them to heed your words. I also don't have a magic solution to get folks to pay attention.

@Myriam @stephaniewalter I know. But if devs were globally attentive to this, the web would be much less the trash fire we have today.

@f4grx @stephaniewalter have you seen GIFs? Most of them are riddled with useless shit that's there because of parents from companies long gone. It's just....the web. And it's rotting. Bad.

Like I said, I don't have a solution. I'm just here to talk to someone who gets the issue but who, like me, doesn't have a solution (yet?).

P.S. my grandpa Simpson trait is that I shout that TikTok is a fucking keylogger with extra features.

@f4grx @stephaniewalter patents. Autocorrect is plotting my demise, I swear.
