Series / The web is back

This is a series sorted in chronological order.

Today, while working on his Space , I decided to check what the preview of the notes 1 in Meta would look like. But he changed his mind after he saw a “closed door” in the form of a login page. My page Facebook I have long been closed and I don’t want to check I can enter using the login and password or I need to restore the account first (or it will recover after entering the debugger).

But we are talking about something else. More recently, every platform came up with and imposed on us its standards. As an example, AMP from Google or the same pages from Facebook (I don’t even remember what they called). They try to introduce such standards in any direction of technology, because it is profitable to manage the standard and have dependent users.

I remember the web like this (showing a small network). It was a cozy place where we would go in the evening to read the news, our favorite forum, or the blog of another stranger with a mysterious nickname.

The Internet didn’t scream, didn’t try to attract our attention1, didn’t jump at us from around the corner. It was a network (web) - protocols, devices that served the purpose of uniting us.
