[tantek] this post seems indieweb-relevant on multiple levels, publishing, discovery, opportunities for new services, etc. https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/the-deterioration-of-google/
#
[tantek] also https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/independent-ends.html — I have some, but not a lot of, sympathy for businesses people built (nearly?) solely dependent on another business's behaviors, because that seems like a bad risk UP FRONT, and also repeatedly historically documented. Not unlike Facebook games/apps, or even selling native apps in app stores controlled by one particular company.

[morganm] Is anyone aware of a history of badges and buttons on websites like Im thinking the old geocities style banner buttons and the old badges. The W3C Validator for CSS for example gives you this bad boy https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss

[morganm] What an inspiring symbol when I see it it provides warmth

[tantek] what is 88x31?
#
Loqi 88x31 pixels was a very popular web badge/button image size in the 1990s, especially among freewheeling and independent sites created on services like GeoCities, and there are IndieWeb 88x31 badges you may use https://indieweb.org/88x31

#
[tantek] what were the 1990s?
#
Loqi The 1990s was a decade that saw the invention and growth of the web, dominated by independent websites, as well as nascent silos like Geocities, with a particular brightly colored aesthetic that would come to define the era like under construction graphics, dancing animals, site counters, ornate backgrounds, and guest books https://indieweb.org/1990s
#
[morganm] Ah awesome
#
[morganm] that w3c css icon is an 88x31
#
[tantek] feel free to add it to https://indieweb.org/88x31#IndieWeb_related_efforts — there's already one there for valid Atom from the W3C validator
#
Loqi hey [morganm], [tantek], we try to keep jargon (CSS, ATOM) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] lol
#
aaronpk A lot of those badges were definitely dev focused
#
[morganm] the marks of the ancient ones
#
[tantek] aaronpk, yup, moved them to a new section. [morganm], feel free to link to the W3C's other valid badges in this section: https://indieweb.org/88x31#Developer_Building_Blocks
