Reply to the enshittification of the web has me worried as a professional web developer, but stoked as a fan of retro computing by emma

it's time for webrings

just run your favorite linux distro and disable javascript and only use good sites like jstpst

these guardrails will keep your internet experience roughly unshittified (up until each IP packet needs to come with a government ID number or each post costs $0.02 doubling with each post a day or whatever)

Can't agree with you here; for some types of work, where the job is doesn't have to be an office. I understand that's kind of fucked up that some people have to do their work at a specific spot and some can do it elsewhere, but I don't think the answer to "some people have bad working conditions" should be "everyone should have equally bad working conditions."

im mostly totally sympathetic to people who reorganised their lives to work from home during covid and now have to resist these employers demanding that they get back to working in person and definitely support their efforts. but the part of me whos been working at a supermarket for most of my professional life is like "well... like... part of having a job is going in to the place where the job is..."

i have pretty poor vision, so they'd fleece me in getting those corrective zeiss inserts or whatever. so unfortunately, i won't be able to join the rest of you in *skims through article* having a virtual mickey mouse running around me.
