4chan back before the Nazi takeover was like the wild west. My favorite part was "Lithursday," when we would share images with embedded PDFs of copyrighted content, including rare books, anarchist materials, and military manuals. I often wonder if those unusually large .jpgs are still floating around the internet waiting to be unlocked. I also saw legitimate acts of activism and terrorism unfolding live, without the interpretation and propaganda of the state.

Not 10 frameworks (each used for one function), dozens of mb of graphics,

Have you seen the old internet?! It would have been even more gifs, music players, and oh the flash websites! Haha I know that's really not your point but this jumped out at me and made me chuckle.

some of our clients are on what the telco calls 'extended' dsl. they're waaaay tf out at the 'end of the line' where speeds can be as shitty as 250-500kbps; there's even a couple still on dialup. so we definitely consider the weight of a page and how many connections are made for each when we do our own sites.

Today i need so much stuff to fight the other stuff, it's stuffmageddon.

The most relatable statement of the year so far. It's so exhausting ;-;
