Optometrists continue to openly sabotage people who prefer to buy eyeglasses online.

My spouse and I stopped by the Walmart vision center yesterday. He needed a routine eye exam, and the optometrist took forever. We had a 2 PM appointment, and we weren’t done until nearly 5:3…

#geminiProtocol is what the #web was supposed to be and remain. #www #geminispace #internet

The #web isn't dying. It's already dead. Now we have something that's called #javascript (Yes! Even #DRM !) and sometimes it may have some pages associated with it. Sometimes... #www #crap

Accepting that browsers for hypertext are for browsing hypertext, not manage images, play videos etc. https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007734.html #www = bloat. Don't make ANOTHER Web. Replace the crap it became, running arbitrary programs when you just visit a page.

#javascript on the #www is a menace and allowing scripts to run without specific (not implicit) consent is a #security issue, not just a #privacy issue. You wouldn't walk through downtown Beirut in a miniskirt, would you?

Dear site admins, DO NOT use #webp (!!!) as many systems and browsers do NOT support this format. You help #gulag take over and destroy the (what's left of) #www

Lots of #webspam or #www as a #spamfarm today. Instead of articles you get ads, 'dressed up' lightly like they're "reviews" and "journalism". Frustrating. Move to Gemini, please, gradually...

Of course I DID appeal to #twitter and challenged the frivolous takedown request. Twitter DID NOT EVEN BOTHER REPLYING TO ME!! #censorship #socialcontrolmedia #internet #www

It's a dying platform, and FAAAAR too malicious already (getting worse, still)

Great new example of #Webspam disguised as legitimate article. Almost all coverage in this area ( #patent and #trademark law) is spam. https://www.eastmidlandsbusinesslink.co.uk/mag/news/ip-specialists-adamson-jones-increase-depth-and-breadth-of-experience/ #www = #spamfarm

#Programming and the #WWW • Tux Machines ⇨ http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/159304 #GNU #Linux #TuxMachines

#clownflare = #mitm and we should treat #cloudflare as what it really is: a malicious force, a threat, a spy, and #censorship agent on the #www

The #www has been weaponised and monopolised by few American corporations (not by accident! This was planned) with ties associated to military, Hollywood etc. and the only way out of this is to move to something else, such as #geminiSpace http://techrights.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium

Each week that passes by the body or the pool of "news" "reports" on #www is becoming less journalism and more #webspam ... iow, it's more work to actually extract a bit of signal from all the noise/spam. #spamfarm #junk
