Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

Opinie | De geesten worden klaargemaakt voor een permanente mobilisatie - NRC
https://archive.ph/LVZm3

Kritiek op westerse oorlogstaal wordt gezien als naïef, maar er is een blind vertrouwen op een industrie die geld verdient met het uiteenrijten van lichamen.

Laten we weigeren onze kinderen op te offeren in naam van een natiestaat

Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity
https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/contra-ptaceks-terrible-article-on-ai/?1

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc
