    Sometimes I think it was a mistake to let the programs we primarily use to view text and images become bloated virtual machines that execute megabytes of arbitrary code with every page load.

          It came before bard was renamed to gemini. Kind of like people who were referred to as Isis before you know, Isis.

                Hmm, interesting. That makes me think of someone whose last name was literally “Gay” before gayness as a news headliner broke out, I think right around the turn of the century. Her family changed their name to “Gray” as a result.

                I wonder if a name change might have been or even might be helpful for that person you know.

      I was on dial-up internet well after most people had moved to dedicate higher speed connections. It was very obvious then that websites were just piling more crap in and I was thinking about how much of a problem that trend was going to be for our hardware. That wasn’t even considering how much those companies would be dipping into our time, sanity, and privacy.

        I still design my personal web pages like we’re in the modem days. Mostly text, and the images are highly compressed jpegs with tons of artifacting. No javascript. It’s a lot of fun
