#FDD #Floppy #SimpleWeb

Lordy, I just fired up the old NetNewsWire app after oh so many years of distraction by walled garden social media platform bullshit, paired together with wonderful https://ooh.directory/ to find some lovely blog goodness, and its like all the annoying parts of modern day web just fell away. Really Simple Syndication ftw. Fediverse and Blogs via RSS, this is the way.

Why? I'm interested in the internet

Like is the Internet still usable at that level and scale? What can we do? What can't we do? How to make the internet again viable using those or even lesser tools?

What's missing? What are alternatives? What could be added? Needs to be?

I just registered a first I2P Instance of SimplyTranslate: https://simple-web.org/projects/simplytranslate.html

I'm curious, what are the Google Services that keep you from going google-less (not counting sites you only access through layers like SimplyTranslate, Invidious and similar)? (Boosts Appreciated) #SimpleWeb

About the people wondering, yeah, we're already working on adding the new Languages supported by Google to SimplyTranslate, and in fact working on making that whole process automated. #SimplyTranslate #SimpleWeb

So.. I think it's been time that we gave #SimpleWeb a website. https://simple-web.metalune.xyz
It's in it's first version and there is probably still a lot missing, but at least it gives you an overview of all our projects.

Even if there was an independently funded organization developing a web browser, #GAFAM would just keep adding #bloat to the #web "platform", and more and more web "sites" would become useless on small browsers.

In other words: The "modern" web just isn't sustainable. A new "Mozilla" won't improve the situation.

Another analogy: Writing a more efficient (and independently funded) operating system on which one will eventually run completely bloated software -- this would be equally unsustainable.

Perhaps the best option is to systematically #boycott complex web "sites".

Perhaps the makers of the #Brave browser are not Surveillance Capitalists but they clearly are Attention Capitalists. You get distracted by ads (inserted by the browser!), and by exchange you get sort of #crypto tokens, and thus also partake in the destruction of the #planet!

I would *never* trade my attention for any currency. Probably many other people with #adhd would agree with me. The #web is already #broken enough, so when I need to browse the web, I won't and can't make compromises: Adblockers and tools like the #ReaderMode of #Firefox make the web more bearable.

Just a quick update, #SimpleWeb is moving to #Sourcehut because... well, sourcehut is great and contributors don't need to create an account.

I just updated the design of #SimpleWeb Translator, feel free to check it out and leave some feedback :)
https://translate.metalune.xyz

Btw, thanks to @yerinalexey #SimpleWeb Translator no longer uses mtranslate :D
https://translate.metalune.xyz

so.. I've been thinking, we need an icon for #SimpleWeb but we don't know what.. so any ideas are welcome, and try to keep it simple ;)

I renamed the Suckless-Web project to Simple-Web, and it now has a Matrix room: #simpleweb:kde.org, feel free to join
