I miss Web 1.0. You click a link, you get to the website, you read the content. What a concept.

"Welcome, but be good!"

Does he not know how passports work? You need passports to leave the country, dumbass. This makes no sense.

This is the perfect example of one photo being worth a thousand words.

I am trying to get my head around the concept of an "algorithm-free website" courtesy of politicians and non-technical journalists.

Consider: the database evaluates SQL and returns data without any indexes or sorting algorithms. The webserver encrypts traffic over TLS without any cryptographic algorithms. The content is compressed, but without the use of any of those pesky compression algorithms like gzip, brotli, zstd or xz. CSS rules evaluated without any algorithms.

Magic at work, truly.
