@lmorchard "How to fix the Internet" → close the tab

seems like part of the fix for our modern Internet right there

But honestly yeah. I'm getting shades of 2006 or so. You know, before pop-up blockers became basically universal?

@ksaj @lmorchard I suppose technically true, but I stopped seeing blink outside of controlled sanctuary environments like Geocities by oh I dunno 2002?

@randomgeek @lmorchard Geocities + Webrings = weird winding way that we finally came to social media!

I remember some sites intentionally abusing blink and animated gifs to make the browser so slow you had to quit and restart them to get it moving again. 🤣 Those were awesome times, 'cos the web was barely commercialized yet.
