Ignoring the security implications, I miss kb large old raw html websites that loaded instantly on DSL internet. Nowadays shit is too fancy because hardware allows that, but I feel we’re just constantly running into more bugs first and then worry about them later.
Edit: I’ve thought more about it, and I think I just missed the simplicity of the internet back then. There’s just too much bloat these days with ad trackers and misinformation. I kinda forgot just how bright and eye jarring most old UIs were lol.
So is ASP, PHP, javascript and everything else.
And has nothing to do with HTML.
HTML is not HTTP.
So it’s possible to bring up related issues in a thread (HTML) within the context of a post (old timey Internet). I’m bringing up HTTP because while running around saying HTML on its own is secure is true, what’s not true was that loading HTML over HTTP was secure.
