If bsd.cafe requires approval for you to follow me, but you have a default profile-pic and no public post/interaction with other folks on the fedi, it's likely to be a no.

@vasilis@social.vasilis.nl asks¹, so here: I want a web that is accessible. I want the web that works without issue in a terminal browser like lynx(1) or a light-weight browser like @dillo@fosstodon.org, a web that doesn't require 1GB (or even 1MB) of RAM just to display 25KB of actual content. I want a web that doesn't run random, untrusted code on my machine. I want a web that doesn't try and track my every movement and click across every site. I want a web that doesn't require cookie banners on every site. I want a web that doesn't have popups. I want a web that doesn't beg for me to sign up for mailing lists. I want a web that I can mark up semantically and instruct my browser how to style in my own fonts/colors that *I* find most readable. I want a web that I can deploy on a low-end hosting box for $1/month² that doesn't require cloud-fronting services, CDNs, complex deployments, dozens of frameworks, and a complex build process. I want a web that doesn't try to shove AI down my throat—whether useless slop content, or pounding on my poor server to scrape what I've created. I want a web that is simple enough that a single developer could write a new/novel browser. I want a web that connects people instead of companies inserting themselves between people to extract profit. I want a web that is passionately crafted with love, not for capitalist motives. Instead we somehow have [gestures around vaguely] ⸻ ¹ https://social.vasilis.nl/@vasilis/116096206093641328 ² https://lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/

@ferrix@mastodon.online Similarly, my old iBook has the Open Firmware key-combo scrawled on the bezel (I'd have to dig it out, but I think it was something like Option+Ctrl+O+F that I never remember) as well the Open Firmware command to alternate-boot my OpenBSD instance on that hardware instead of the OSX partition. The Sharpied computers may look a bit uglier, but I'm too old to entrust that sort of thing to my brain 😆 @rk@mastodon.well.com

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social though I kvetch using Teams on Windows for $DAYJOB, so I'm not sure my kvetching would reduce if it ran on Linux/BSDs 😆
