@corlin Oh, good point. Thanks.

@corlin Good point. And as far as I am concerned, he is alrite.

@mach Agreed. I have read _many_ Web3 takedowns and this one I enjoyed a lot for his directly taking on OpenSea.

There are a lot of takedowns of Web3 nonsense, but how many are from a cryptographer? https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html #federation #decentralization #bs #ethereum #nfts #nonfunigibletokens #web3 #cryptography

@glennhansen_ Thanks: always down for recommendations. (And I do not use Twitter, hence why I am here! But I could find a Nitter instance and figure out who she follows: good lead.)

@glennhansen_ Thanks for the recommendation: this seems up my alley!

@corlin A lot of the dynamic features that are very useful in some applications have gotten thrown into documents where it is not at all necessary on the Web. I especially cringe at the inclusion of dynamic, third-party content like embedding microblog posts! Why would you want _your_ website and its content to be at the whims of a third party whose content can change or be deleted at any moment?

@corlin Oh, nice: I've seen _Lo-Tech_ before and I like it.

I am very much in favor of the recommendations here, particularly vanilla HTML/CSS and no hotlinking: https://jeffhuang.com/designed_to_last/ If you have even the mildest interest in maintaining a Web presence, consider this. #smallweb #worldwideweb #persistence #webdesign #weirdweb

@corlin Yeah, this is definitely a problem for things like deanonymizing Big Data sets, for instance. Can differential privacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy) overcome this? Maybe. But if not, there are still lots and lots of applications where academic publications can and should share data, if for no other reason than the replicability crisis. I appreciate you sharing your experience, too.
