   @thomasfuchs I miss the good old days where links were blue and links I had already visited were purple. :(

     @thomasfuchs This took a considerable amount of work since the default formatting for unclicked links going back forever is blue underlined text.

     Also could we please, please stop fucking with link text styles and let the browser do its job please?

     @thomasfuchs I'll bet you a nickel that site is styled with Tailwind.

     @thomasfuchs TRUTH!

     Reminds me of @hbuchel 's excellent essay "Just normal web things."

     🌟Let me copy text so I can paste it.
     🌟If something navigates like a link, let me do link things.
     🌟Let me zoom in on my browser without the website getting all out of whack.
     🌟Let me have hover styles.
     🌟If the UI completely changes when I click on something, as if I've navigated to a new page, give me a browser history update and a new url.
     🌟Let me see scroll bars.

     @thomasfuchs I am constantly fighting the link underline battle and I am tired. Like, friend, not even a color change? Can I get anything? Please?
