    If you think hyperlinks have any danger of going extinct, I have shares in an crypto-based AI powered bridge to sell you.

    Can we carve out a part of the internet please where we go back to super basic html pages that are a mix of self hosted hobby blogs and university research sites? It was good then. Everything’s gotten so noisy, and busy, and shit.

      There is Neocities and a few other sites that allow you to make and share your own sites. Though some sites are more than just basic html, so experience will vary, but you can find basic pages dedicated to hobbies and such if you sift through them. Only problem with these sites/services, assuming the other ones are run like Neocities, is that you are given a pretty limited amount of space.

      The browser you’re looking for is literally called Links.

      • AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Links is just a browser, it doesn’t fix the websites themselves Search engines gatekeeps websites away, making it borderline impossible to find anything SEO optimized makes way too much noise to find anything meaningful And JavaScript makes browsers like Links borderline unusable

      Just use tor browser on strict mode and you’ll find it. They do exist.

        Interesting. Is that because it blocks JavaScript, ads etc?

    Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!

    source
    • xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Of course. The modern way is

      <div class="inline text-blue-700 underline" onclick="window.location.href='https://Malware_Ransom_@is.gd/_40795251_Penis_Free_Movies_'">Click here</div>

      Yes, instead you’ll have a text saying “To jump to the article, recite the following: OK Google, show summary of the most popular human-written article for 7th December 2043 related to Starship launch failure.

        You seem really good at predicting the future. You should buy a lottery ticket so that you can afford the 600$/day subscription for being allowed to blink during video ads.
