Cool, lenses in #http4k are transclusions for the HTTP protocol, itself.

"A Lens is a bi-directional entity which can be used to either get or set a particular value from/onto an HTTP message."

Tip: If you need to look up a post on X.com and already have the link, but you HATE the website, replace X.com with "xcancel.com" in the URL.
This is a #Nitter instance, basically a frontend for X.com.
Much faster response, no forced account needed, no tracking from X.com, lighter JS, free software (AGPLv3), no corporate bullshit. Just the posts.
Remember that X.com is owned by a literal neonazi. Stay safe. And convince your friends to delete their X account. 🙂

Tim Berners-Lee ( @timbl) explains why he gave away the #WWW for free.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free
"For the web to have everything on it, everyone had to be able to use it, and want to do so. This was already asking a lot. I couldn’t also ask that they pay for each search or upload they made. In order to succeed, therefore, it would have to be free. That’s why, in 1993, I convinced my #CERN managers to donate the intellectual property of the world wide web, putting it into the public domain. We gave the web away to everyone."
But he adds:
"Today, I look at my invention and I am forced to ask: is the web still free today? No, not all of it. We see a handful of large platforms harvesting users’ private data to share with commercial brokers or even repressive governments…Trading personal data for use certainly does not fit with my vision for a free web."

"The architectural view in which search, social, and browsing are distinct is a distraction that does not map to the experienced reality of most people and that is in fact conceptually arbitrary with respect to the tasks that people actually seek to accomplish on the Web. In a sense, we're missing the Web for the tabs."
