In case you missed my post from day 3 of #blogtober: It’s about a legendary piece of gear that shaped the sound of Abbey Road studios – and what it all has to do with building for the #Web. 🤓

WWW-Erfinder über Web & KI: Irgendwo sind wir falsch abgebogen
Tim Berners-Lee, der 'Vater des World Wide Web', warnt ausdrücklich vor einer weiteren Monopolisierung des Internets durch große Konzerne und die Gefahren einer mangelnden Regulierung von Diensten aus dem Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz. In beiden Fällen sei es längst an der Zeit, zu handeln.

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").

'Rechte Wikipedia': Musk macht seine Drohung wahr, startet Grokipedia
Elon Musk hat gestern Abend eine erste Version der vor ein paar Wochen angekündigten Grokipedia gestartet. Dabei handelt es sich um eine mit KI-Inhalten gefüllte Online-Enzyklopädie, die er als eine Art "nicht-tendenziöse" Wikipedia vermarktet. Letztlich ist das Ganze nur eine schlechte Kopie.

A very special "hello" to the folks who came up with HTML `title` attribute. An even more special "hello" to those who decided that an anchor's tooltip will be marked up as its "title".
