I know it’s generally frowned upon to do victim blaming, but the lusers (how the BOFH calls them) have a part in this. The internet corporation did the same thing old-school corporations did, and that’s taking a product and squeezing the most money possible out of it. The current state of the internet is just a product of what the userbase wanted and the corporations delivered.
I’ve spoken before with people in offline about the state of the internet. People like me with similar background. People who are now in their late thirties, and discovered the internet at the turn of the millenium when they were teenagers and avid for knowledge. Internet was very limited back then. Technology was fairly expensive, internet connections were limited not only by speed and duration of access (remember dial-up?) but also by the lack of content and ways to access the existing content. This meant that people that managed to become on line were fairly smart. People that created on the internet were smart and creative. With the natural progress, the technology got cheaper, access got way easier for the common people. And common people is neither smart, nor creative. They easily became the most populous part of the internet and theif focus switched from creating to consuming data. I was tempted to say “knowledge”, or “information”, but people online don’t look for these, mostly merely look for entertainment. Big companies saw that, and understood that even the act of consuming internet actually creates something. It creates metadata, it creates a breadcrumb trail just perfect for Big Data and AI to crunch their bytes on and create monetary value.
It’s easy to throw the blame on the big corporations (and they surely are to blame), but keep in mind that the state of the internet was decided when we gave cheap internet access to every creature with opposable thumbs and a quarter of a brain.
PS: Reaction tiktoks are not fucking content, go and do something useful, like wash some dishes at a McDonalds.

“I โฆ ah โฆ The company’s planning a mid-year Christmas hamper for all staff with each division head responsible for sorting something from their area. The Design people have created tee-shirts with all the company logos from the past ten years, the PR people have sourced a picnic blanket with the current company logo, Finance have organized an elephant money box with the company logo on it, and I’m just trying to think of something that would really complement it.”
“Hmmm โฆ a box of matches and a tin of petrol?” I suggest.

CSS PNG Animation using keyframes
Curious how I did the animated “gifs” on the Sven Bรธmwรธllen > a half-assed review post? Well, wonder no more.
The HTML is a simple div with a class

The important things here are:
- div’s
widthandheight: how big the frame is? background-image: the image that we’ll use for the animationsteps(6): how many steps (frames) does the image have?- animation duration: i used
0.6s. Actually it’s 0.1 per frame, so the animation looks very similar to the one in the game. background-position: we start from0 0(top left), and we end the animation at0 -448px, meaning that the end frame will be 448 pixels below the origin. This can be tweaked if you need to alter the animation a bit, but it’s usually the height of the image.
This allowed me to turn this image

FD tribute
Back in 2010, I was working on what ended up to be the biggest fashion website in Romania, fashiondays.ro. Designed by my friend, Andi M., I did a ton of coding for that project over 4 years or so. In order to throw back to those days, I’ve decided to re-paint my site in their original colours for the week to come. :)
