And yup...
Virtual homesteaders built an internet of ‘little autocracies.’ Is digital democracy doomed?
A new book from Nathan Schneider argues that attempts to impose democracy on the internet have failed for cultural and technical reasons. But what if we used it as a tool to solve these problems?College of Media, Communication and Information

Here it is then: My manifesto for small, static web apps.
If you wish to comment/reply on this, please read the intro on what a manifesto is before you do.
rosswintle.uk/2024/02/a-manife…
With that in mind the summary is:
- Static first/only
- No login
- Don't store user data
- Use the smallest JS library possible
- Use web standards as much as possible
- Use simple build steps that won't break
- “Done” is a goal
- Zero-maintenance (and easy maintenance) is a goal
- Don’t minify
- Be accessible

Born in 1906, computer scientist Grace Hopper invented the first compiler for computer programming language & was among the first programmers of the Harvard Mk1 computer.
Hopper popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages & paved the way to develop COBOL (an early high-level programming language). She originated the term "bug" to describe computer glitches & became a celebrated Rear Admiral in the US Navy. news.yale.edu/2017/02/10/grace… #science #history

Let's talk about Japan, the UK, Republicans, and recession....
If they break it make them pay for it. Boycott ALL Republican Businesses and Cease doing business with the Republicans and their family members. Refuse to serve them in restaurants, Uber service, and any form of Service they might hire temporarily. Pull the Rug out From Under their smug little A**es and show them their failure to run the government means they deserve NOTHING. Sabotage has a price.
