I've written a lot, in other places about how the modern web is a trashfire. I'm not going to re-hash all those ideas here, but I'll sum up:

- Massive downloads for no reason
- Arbitrary code execution
- Tracking you constantly (advertising)
- Increasingly silo'd
- Tracking you constantly (NSA Panopticon)
- Bad Laws (we'll discuss this at length.)
- EME/DRM in browsers

“it's on the shoulders of technologists to learn the lesson of EME: contributing to technologies that stop the public from adapting or auditing their tools is a profoundly unethical act, one that widens the gap between people with disabilities and the (temporarily) abled people who don't (yet) need to make those adaptations.” eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/disa

Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
