Great article, thanks for sharing!

I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host's website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!

Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.

These articles are always a joy, not just because they always load and display nicely. Even if I'm not in the field myself, this one was helpful even to a technical level, diagnosed the larger issue and showcased it well, well worth sharing to many people.

I only wonder how all this dark design on the web interacts with accessibility.

I don't watch news any more. I don't like this world has gone too far.
