In 1997, when we still had 56k modems, if your website took 10 seconds to load, you lost most of your users. Today, Outlook spins for 20 seconds on a 300 Mbps connection, despite being in cache, and everyone is somehow fine with this regression.
This is without counting the lengthy SSO loop that we need to repeat every morning, because "remember me" is also no longer a feature in 2023, it seems.

  Honestly, I built better websites than most of today's web when all I had was PHP 3, HTML 4, nascent CSS, vanilla JS, on a garbage dial-up connection and without access to good docs. I have no idea what happened to the world, but it's not good.

  Am I the only one around here who still knows image compression techniques for the web? Logos today take longer to transfer than my entire website on a dial-up 27 years ago. I feel like Hari Seldon wasn't too far off, despite being a fictional character.

  @afilina yet you support the gears of war endlessly spinning in Eastern Europe. You decry computers taking seconds of time while supporting mass murder for military-industrial profits. Seems very apt complaining about efficiency with a Nazi flag in your name. The trains will run on time at least, on their way to the death camps.

  @afilina "Remember Me" doesn't even seem to be a feature on website logins, even when you're presented with the checkbox to do so 😠
