Telescope [0] is an emacs/w3m-inspired browser for the "small internet"
that supports Gemini, Gopher and Finger. Written in C, with a privsep design in mind.
Telescope is now available on pkgsrc (below you can see it running on SPARC). With a few patches [1], it builds and runs fine on Solaris too.
Thanks @op@bsd.network, @thomasadam@bsd.network, and others for contributing to this project.

I can't believe it myself, but yes, I've made #Dillo my default browser on my personal laptops. It's never been my default, even though I've used it occasionally, off-and-on, for 25 years. XD
I still fire up #LibreWolf ( #firefox fork) occasionally on those machines, but #DilloBrowser fits in this neat space between terminal browsers and "full-fat" browsers like Librewolf and #luakit.
I'm just wishing it had a "follow mode" for following links from the keyboard, and wondering if there was some way to make it use the clipboard by default, instead of primary selection. I don't quite understand why classic X11 programs use primary selection so much. XD

This is not okay.
I wonder if they also go after people who publish on their own websites instead of using big tech platforms.

Hard work on the smolweb specs
The #smolweb documentation on the HTML subset is now fully available, and it is in line with the smolweb-validator.
Next milestone: best practices with CSS on smolweb sites

I have built an online version of the #smolweb validator
https://smolweb.org/validator/
(it does not check all the things I would like... always under improvement).
This tool uses jsoup HTML5 parser, a java library.
Exemple :
$ ./smolweb-validate https://adele.pages.casa/md/

Ppl of Mastodon. Please help educate the normies about independent, small tech and self hosting. Not only fancy stuff like docker/VS etc and home servers, but cheap shared webspace online, small CMS, wikis, favourite federated or OS apps, (mine are Masto, Lemmy, Grav, Jekyll, Ghost and others). Introduce them to what is actually out here. Try not to expect total purity! They want to be free, not join a cult 😎😇

Frontend devs. Sweeties. Let's talk.
Do you remember the Web in the 90s? I do. My computer today has more RAM than my computer in the 90s had hard disk. My cable modem today can download that amount of data several times over every second.
The web today feels as slow today as it did in the 90s. On a 56k modem.
It's not your fault. I get it. Business demands, shifting frameworks. But engineer to engineer here, I'm really gonna need you to start telling them no. It's getting embarrassing.
One mistake I DID make was using google fonts but going forward no more of that.
