CNET reviews via the Wayback Machine (1996-12-21), "11 HTML editors for easy Web pages": web.archive.org/web/1996122107

About 50 KB per page, including graphics. Yeah, those pages are HTML 2 or 3 with CSS None, but it's just as easy to redo in HTML 5 with CSS 3 while keeping the same presentation, improving accessibility, and not bloating beyond about 50 KB per page, including CSS and graphics.

This was the World Wide Web we threw away for browser-heavy frameworks.

@maddy A most peculiar thing happened on my way to that familiar place today.

@mavica_again This bites me way too often on FreeBSD, too. I end up having to search for binaries and manpages post-install.

freebsd$ pkg info -l techbrotool-by-techbro-tool | grep -w -e bin -e sbin -e man

debian$ dpkg -L techbrotool-by-techbro-tool | grep -w -e bin -e sbin -e man

I will not talk with a chatbot
I do not want it while I shop

I do not want it on Windows X-box
I do not want it in Firefox

I do not want it in my house
I do not want it on my mouse
I do not want it here or there
I do not want it anywhere.

I do not want AI and Spam
I do not want them Sam-Alt-Man
