Taste seems to be out of fashion in general.

I'm currently (as in: since 1996) redesigning and rethinking my personal website and this question has been in my mind for a long time as well.

A nice companion piece to the "modernity is stupid" article I bookmarked before.

the Internet’s business model is betrayal. Every mature social media platform has betrayed us. Every big search engine has betrayed us.

Yes. And double yes:

And don’t tell me about enshittification, that is a thought-terminating cliche that does not actually perform useful or interesting analysis and is little more than the new “just use linux” of annoying Fediverse reply guys.

This is almost art

Amazing follow-up to the viral AI rant from a few days back

This is amazing

Personal websites are the best

Oh, interesting idea! The wavey underline reminds me of a spellchecker, though.

Well, that's a bit of a bummer, isn't it?

I like all of this so very much

Oh, this is indeed nice. I haven't watched a YouTube premiere in quite a while so I didn't notice they added more options

Very good summary of the current state of the search for MH370

A good little overview about the weird clickbait thumbnails for MH370 videos. And he's right: you should watch the Mentour Pilot one, it is really well done.

It's all so strange

I've looked at MT screenshots lately and remembered it fondly

I like this. It looks like a MovableType blog. (Which I think it still is.)

This is quite a list.

I'm pretty sure that's it:

And maybe what’s missing now is simply connection.

The connections and communications moved to "Social Media" and will probably stay there.

I shall write a post with a whole bunch of recommendations. For example for my own link blog.

I'm not using 11ty but I do like the idea of using raindrop and an API to feed a linkblog

Probably the most Tom Scott way of saying goodbye. What a guy.

I might still be blocking ads, to be honest.

Looking at planes is fun

Absolutely. I do miss the short time when people just used the things we now call social media for fun but maybe it is okay the way it is right now.

They're talking about wordpress.com, which is a bit mindbloggling.

"Grift shift" is a lovely term

Go do it!

The headline is more a question than an answer but his analysis is spot on.

Sounds like a good explanation and roughly how I understand the expression, too.
