Maybe this is your sign to not keep trying to like Max. He's being a bitch over someone dishing out half of what he's dished out to others over the years

Yeah see here's the real problem too many people on this site have too many opinions about F1 drivers and have waaaay too much time to tell others who they ought to like.

... We fail to get the best out of the web, organizations, developers, and individuals. We are forced to exist in silos, our choices limited by a few massive vendors who siphon our data for their own purposes and then fail to protect it. It starves innovation and has created a web version that distorts what is possible. We're in a world of risk, restrictions, and vendor lock-in. But we can change that. We can build a web that puts users in partnership with organizations and unlocks excellent utility for us all. In their fireside chat, Sir Tim Berners-Lee and John Bruce will talk about how they are mobilizing countries and corporations around Solid, the web as it should be...

One of the things I think people as a whole don't understand about the internet today is that so much of what's wrong/dangerous/flawed about the internet exists because so much of the internet started as one person's hobby they built in their spare time or as a specific task for a specific function that was just useful/functional enough that literally everyone started using it. There's tons of biases built into the modern internet and some of that is carelessness but a lot of it is... just like. This was invented by a group of grad students fucking around for a few weeks. How the fuck were they supposed to know it'd be become the global standard and that nobody would bother to address or change these things?

Like, the whole reason that the US government gets the ".gov" domain name is because this entire system was invented in the US primarily for use in universities. Under the original system, you had to phone in to talk to the center who owned the list, tell them what name you wanted and then a person would type your name/ip onto the list attached to a nickname much like a phonebook. Then people slowly figured out domains and maintaining domain registries. And then the system became useful enough that more of the US started using it, and then people realized "oh shit, other countries want to use this too, guess we need to figure that out".

The "world wide web" or the thing we all know as the internet (and the reason that every website you visit has www in front), was invented originally by one dude trying to make his own job easier (Tim Berners-Lee). He thought it was pretty cool and shared it, and he was one guy who only spoke English and was just doing what he thought was going to work.

Like, this is a very lighthearted article talking about him, but I think it illustrates the point really well,

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, has confessed that the // in a web address were actually "unnecessary". He told the Times newspaper that he could easily have designed URLs not to have the forward slashes. "There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time," he said. He admitted that when he devised the web, almost 20 years ago, he had no idea that the forward slashes in every web address would cause "so much hassle". His light-hearted apology even had a green angle as he accepted that having to add // to every address had wasted time, printing and paper.

via "sorry for the slashs"

We have an entire internet and infrastructure built rather haphazardly but also in such a way that going back and trying to change or fix things either requires an insane amount of work or could render vast swaths of the prior internet inaccessible.

Like, I think everyone here remembers Flash getting shut down and how much of childhood games got wiped off the generally accessible internet and relegated to projects like Flashpoint. It was really hard to see, but Flash was also a project started in 1996 (or 1993 if you count the OG version that turned into flash) that was supposed to be for a limited set of use cases, and not the medium on which major parts of the internet would run. By the time Adobe shut it down, Flash was incredibly dangerous with the constant risks of malware, it was buggy, slow, and there were a million better programs. It had to be killed to make way for better things, but because of how the internet was built, that death came at a pretty high cost.

So if you're ever wondering why it feels like the web is a bunch of dominoes ready to fall down at any time, it's because it is. And it does. And so many people spend so much of their time combating all the problems created by using systems that were never intended to handle everything they are currently handling because the alternative is a task of monstrous undertaking that would almost certainly turn decades of history to dust.

Just before the first snow fell, Finley managed to have a radio-telescope and -tower built as well as some telephone poles. Since the SCIA offered to pay half it only cost the town 5,000§.

The landline was working. Finley had already ordered a phone for every household; she would pick them up the next time she went to SimCity. They didn't have an established supply route yet. But every Monday Chase, the postman, travelled to SimCity and back and for now that's how things made it's way to and from Pinaccle Peaks.

For the first time in almost a year Finley was able to log into her e-mail account. Man, I really should unsubscribe from all those newsletters, she thought at the sight of 2503 unread e-mails.

When she told Fergus the good news he was equally excited.

Finally he had all the knowledge in the world availabe to him again. Praise Sir Tim Berners-Lee!, Fegus thought while searching the web for building materials.

After their kiss at the farm Finley didn't know what to make of the whole Fergus-situation at first . She liked Fergus, sure, but did she like him in that way? But then again, why not just give it a try, right?

That day Fergus had found out that Finley's lips were indeed as soft as they looked and that she also seemed to know a lot about how to make use of ones lips and tongue. With that first kiss Fergus determined that she would be the ideal Sim to teach him all about kissing. And so they kissed, and kissed, and kissed....

Their romance did surprise Quinn and Caleb equally, but they were far to busy with each other than to spend more time wondering about their friends.

Unveiling the Mystery: WWW Full Form and Its Impact on the Internet

Introduction:

In the vast landscape of the Internet, where information flows seamlessly, the term "WWW" has become synonymous with the very essence of online existence. It's a trio of letters that has transformed the way we access information, connect with others, and navigate the digital realm. In this article, we delve into the origins, significance, and evolution of the WWW full form, unraveling the story behind those three letters that have shaped the internet as we know it.

The Birth of WWW:

WWW stands for "World Wide Web," and its journey began with the visionary ideas of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist. In 1989, Berners-Lee proposed a system that would allow researchers to share and access information easily across different computers. This concept laid the foundation for what would later become the World Wide Web.

Evolution of the Internet:

Before the WWW, the Internet existed, but it primarily served as a network for researchers and academics to exchange data. The introduction of the World Wide Web revolutionized the internet, making it accessible to the general public. It marked a shift from a text-based, utilitarian system to a visually rich and user-friendly interface.

WWW as a Universal Identifier:

The WWW full form is not just a technical acronym; it has become a universal identifier for websites and online content. When you enter a web address in your browser, it typically starts with "www," signaling that you are connecting to a web server. This simple prefix has become so ingrained in our online experience that it is almost instinctive to include it when typing a website address.

WWW vs. Non-WWW URLs:

Interestingly, not all websites require the "www" prefix. Many modern websites can be accessed with or without it, showcasing the flexibility of the Internet's addressing system. However, the choice between using "www" or not often depends on the website's configuration and the preferences of its administrators.

Beyond the Basics: Impact on Culture and Communication:

The WWW full form goes beyond its technical implications; it has woven itself into our culture and communication. It has become a symbol of connectivity, a bridge that spans continents and cultures. The World Wide Web has facilitated global communication, commerce, and collaboration, shaping the way we live, work, and interact.

Conclusion: As we navigate the digital landscape, the WWW full form serves as a reminder of the interconnected world we live in. From its humble beginnings as a proposal by Sir Tim Berners-Lee to its current status as a fundamental component of the Internet, the World Wide Web has left an indelible mark on society. So, the next time you type "www" in your browser, take a moment to appreciate the journey behind those three letters and the vast, interconnected web they represent

INTERNET WEBSITE

In today's digital age, having an online presence is not just a luxury but a necessity. Whether you are an individual looking to establish your personal brand, a small business owner aiming to reach a broader audience, or a large corporation seeking to expand your online reach, a well-designed website is the foundation of your online presence. However, creating an effective website is not as simple as it may seem. It requires careful planning, creativity, and attention to detail. In this article, we will explore the key elements of a winning website and offer insights into how to make your online presence a success. 

What is an internet website?

An internet website, commonly referred to simply as a website, is a collection of web pages and related content that are accessible over the internet. Websites are typically created using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and can include various multimedia elements such as text, images, videos, and links to other web pages or resources. 

Websites are accessed using web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and are identified by their unique web addresses, or URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). To visit a website, you enter its URL in the address bar of your web browser, and the browser fetches and displays the web pages and content associated with that address. 

Who invented websites? 

The World Wide Web, which is the system of interconnected hypertext documents accessed via the internet and commonly referred to as "websites," was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He is a British computer scientist who developed the concept and the first implementation of the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. Berners-Lee also created the first web browser and web server software, laying the foundation for the modern internet as we know it today. His invention revolutionized the way information is shared and accessed, and it has had a profound impact on society, business, and communication.

Who makes websites and is it profitable or can it be a good carrier?

Creating websites is a common profession in the field of web development. Web developers and web designers are the professionals responsible for making websites. Let's differentiate between the two roles: 

1.Web Developers: Web developers are responsible for the technical aspects of building a website. They work with programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various web development frameworks to create the structure, functionality, and interactivity of a website. Web developers can be front-end developers (focused on the user interface and user experience) or back-end developers (focused on server-side logic and databases). Full-stack developers are skilled in both front-end and back-end development. 

2.Web Designers: Web designers focus on the visual and user experience aspects of a website. They work on the layout, color schemes, typography, and overall design elements to create an attractive and user-friendly website. They may use design software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or specialized web design tools. 

As for the profitability and potential as a career, web development and web design can be both profitable and offer good career opportunities. Here are some factors to consider: 

1.High Demand: With the increasing importance of an online presence for businesses and individuals, there is a consistent demand for web developers and web designers. This demand is unlikely to decrease in the foreseeable future. 

2.Diverse Opportunities: Web professionals can work in a variety of settings, including as freelancers, in web development agencies, or as in-house developers for companies. They can also specialize in areas like e-commerce development, content management systems, or web applications. 

3.Earning Potential: Web developers and designers can earn a competitive income, with salaries varying based on factors like experience, location, and expertise. 

4.Continuous Learning: The web industry is dynamic, with new technologies and trends emerging regularly. This means that web professionals must continuously update their skills and stay current with the latest technologies and best practices.

5.Entrepreneurship: Some web developers and designers choose to start their own web development businesses, which can be profitable if they can build a strong client base. 

6.Remote Work Opportunities: Many web development and design jobs can be done remotely, offering flexibility in terms of work location and lifestyle. 

In summary, web development and web design can be a profitable and rewarding career choice for those with the right skills and a passion for creating websites. However, like any profession, success in the field depends on factors such as skill level, dedication, market demand, and the ability to adapt to changing technologies and trends.

As we progress in time, the World Wide Web will continue to reshape and influence different facets of our lives. Its widespread influence is expected to bring an era of greater connectedness, accessibility, and creativity, creating a world that thrives on digital interactions and endless possibilities. On this World Wide Web Day, let’s explore the major forecasts and trends anticipated to fuel the development and change of the World Wide Web over the next few years. However, let’s first look at how the Web evolved. The Evolution of the World Wide Web The World Wide Web has advanced significantly since its inception in 1991. Sir Tim Berners-Lee initially created it as a simple method for academics to exchange knowledge. Over time, it expanded into a worldwide platform, transforming how we interact, collaborate, and live. Let us look at its major turning points from 1991 to 2023: Birth of the Web (1991-1995)Tim Berners-Lee introduced the web at CERN in 1991. It started as a text-based platform, navigated through hyperlinks and HTTP. By 1993, web browsers like Mosaic made it accessible to a broader audience. Dot-com Bubble (1995-2000)The dot-com bubble influenced the commercial boom in the middle of the 1990s. Many businesses flocked online but experienced failure. Nevertheless, it set the stage for online shopping and the internet-based economy. Rise of Social Media and Web 2.0 (2001-2009)Social media platforms like Facebook, MySpace, and Friendster have enabled people to connect worldwide. The Web 2.0 improved user experiences by introducing user-generated content. Mobile Revolution and Apps (2010-2015)Smartphones and mobile Internet drove a shift to mobile-centric experiences. App ecosystems, led by Apple and Google, changed how we accessed content and services. Age of Streaming and On-Demand Content (2016-2020)Streaming services like Netflix and YouTube gained popularity, offering on-demand content. Faster internet speeds and improved infrastructure supported this growth. Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Devices (2021-2023)IoT integration soared, connecting smart devices to the web. Voice-activated virtual assistants, like Alexa and Google Assistant, further exemplified IoT’s significance. The web’s evolution continues, with advancements in AI, VR, and web accessibility on the horizon. The future promises exciting developments that will shape our digital landscape even further. Trends and Insights for the World Wide Web Beyond 2023 The following are a few key W3 trends to look forward to in 2023 and beyond: The Internet of Things (IoT) Integration The Internet of Things, a concept that enables communication and data collection between common objects, significantly impacts W3 evolution. It is predicted that the number of connected wearables, commercial machines, and smart home appliances will exponentially increase by 2023. IoT integration is set to facilitate a fully integrated society while also making our daily lives simpler, more effective, and more automated. The IoT is transforming how we interact with technology and the Internet. We create a large network of interconnected systems by connecting countless products and gadgets to the Internet, such as smartwatches and industrial machines. These devices require little assistance from

humans and are able to communicate with one another, collect data in real-time, and respond to changing conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine LearningThe integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the World Wide Web is transforming many businesses. AI and ML are enabling businesses to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and personalize experiences for their customers. Virtual assistants and chatbots driven by AI will advance in sophistication, offering seamless customer support and individualized experiences. As AI algorithms improve data analysis, organizations can make better decisions based on the knowledge gained from massive amounts of data. Ethics and regulations will be increasingly important as AI develops to address potential issues and ensure responsible AI applications. Web 3.0: The Decentralized WebThe idea behind “Web 3.0” is a decentralized internet where users have more control over their data and online experiences. We may anticipate more development in the creation of decentralized platforms driven by blockchain technology in 2023. These platforms will challenge the hegemony of centralized tech corporations by enhancing security, privacy, and data ownership. Decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will redefine digital economies and alter online transactions. 5G and Beyond: Faster and Ubiquitous Connectivity5G is here to impact the World Wide Web in 2023, which promises faster speeds, lower latency, and larger capacity. 5G provides 100 times faster speed than that of 4G, allowing for lightning-fast downloads, real-time communication, and smooth streaming. This will make online interactions more fruitful and enjoyable, improving the overall user experience. 5G is, therefore, a tremendous advance over 4G and will have a big impact on the Internet by 2023 and beyond, considering the above factors. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality The World Wide Web will continue to be profoundly impacted by the advancements in AR and VR technologies. AR and VR will change how we consume material and communicate online, from immersive online retail experiences to virtual meetings and educational applications. The use of AR and VR applications is predicted to increase in 2023, expanding the potential of the web. Continued Focus on Web AccessibilityWeb accessibility for all continues to be a primary issue as the Internet grows more and more integrated into our daily lives. The development of accessible web experiences for those with disabilities will receive more attention in 2023. Businesses will understand the need to reach a wider audience by offering accessible information and services, and developers will follow accessible design best practices. Conclusion Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond, we anticipate an environment where interconnection, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain technology, and immersive experiences will be prevalent. The web will continue to alter industries and tear down barriers in our lives. However, while we are pleased about these new advances, we must equally be conscious of potential challenges such as data privacy, security, and ethical concerns. By embracing ethical innovation and collaboration, we can build a future online that empowers individuals, stimulates creativity, and promotes a more connected and inclusive society.

The Birth of HTML: Shaping the Web as We Know It

Introduction

In the vast landscape of the digital world, where websites dominate our online experiences, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) holds a crucial position as the backbone of the World Wide Web. As we click and scroll through web pages, it’s worth delving into the fascinating story behind the birth of HTML and understanding how this simple yet powerful language has shaped the internet as we know it today.

The Birth of HTML:

In the early 1990s, a visionary scientist named Sir Tim Berners-Lee was working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Frustrated by the lack of an efficient system to share information among researchers, Berners-Lee conceptualized a decentralized network of computers interconnected through hyperlinks, thus laying the foundation for the World Wide Web.

To bring his vision to life, Berners-Lee needed a language that could create and structure documents accessible over the internet. In collaboration with his colleague Robert Cailliau, he developed HTML as a markup language—a way to describe the structure and content of web documents.

The Evolution of HTML:

The initial version of HTML, released in 1991, was a simple language with limited functionality. It allowed basic text formatting, the creation of headings, paragraphs, and lists, and the inclusion of images. However, as the web gained popularity, the need for more advanced features became evident.

The introduction of HTML 2.0 in 1995 marked a significant step forward. It introduced new elements like tables, forms, and image maps, enabling more complex and interactive web pages. This version also standardized the use of HTML across different web browsers, ensuring consistent rendering of web content.

HTML continued to evolve rapidly, with each new version bringing more sophisticated features and improved capabilities. HTML 3.2, released in 1997, introduced support for frames, which allowed developers to divide a web page into multiple sections.
