I think the internet is broken, and it's broken at it's core (jeferson.me)

I think AI won't save us here, our base is broken. The internet is kind of shattered, most of the pages on the wild have broken and even wrong links. Divs doings the work of buttons, the semantics are totally lost. This, at least for me, feels like a good view point on what we can fix first, and with luck have a better internet.

All feedback is welcome.

Sounds like the world wide web is broken. The Internet works fine still.

Fair point. But very little nitt-picky, right?

No? It's an entire ecosystem people just pretend isn't there. The Internet is a lot more than just websites

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

If you are talking semantic on the linguistic view... Yeah a lot of people can read, but can't understand the other. If you are talking about html, you are also correct... You know what... You are just correct...

Dammit, this reply is already contracting myself!
