~mewdelic~ a contradiction, running since 2026 [home] [columns] [status] [readings] [x/twitter] [github] .: column #003 :. the web was better when it was ugly 2026.05.07 this site is intentionally ugly. black background. green text. no javascript frameworks. no analytics. no cookie banners. it loads instantly because there's nothing to load. the modern web is 4mb of javascript to show a paragraph of text. every site wants your email, your attention, your data. they track you across 47 domains to show you ads for shoes you already bought. i miss the web where people just... put things up. hit counters. guestbooks. "under construction" gifs. midi files that autoplayed. tables inside tables inside tables. it was messy. it was human. it was free in a way this web forgot how to be. neocities gets it. zero ads. zero AI training. zero tracking. just html and spite. — mew |
