100% not your problem! proud of you and your manager for not giving in and taking care of yourselves.

I think the most interesting part about finding out somebody stole your code is looking at how messy their site is. so you stole my layout just to mess it up? You're not even making it better? can't figure out the code and you gave up and just put a mess online? I don't mind it if people use my code to learn, but I don't understand the point if you're just going to steal it and then make it look awful.

I mean some people make gross looking sites on purpose which is cool, but if you're not even going to learn the basics of CSS grid then why are you stealing a layout that uses that.

I'm not offended or anything, just feel like you've wasted your own time in this entire endeavor and I don't get it.

like seriously, if a person steals code to make their site better and then makes it more awful I don't think they should manage a website or even own one at all, xD

I don't know, I don't feel it's all that serious tbh. In fairness, I don't think (at least not that I know of) anyone's stolen any of my code yet, so I'll see how I react when that happens (if ever)? I disagree with the idea about not thinking they should manage a website at all. I think that’s a terrible thought.

@stoneroad agreed. but hey, it's just my opinion, and it's fine if you disagree, most people take this seriously. it's a little overboard but I think I would rather see them embarrass themselves

I'm not fond of the one-to-one steal, given that there are so many free templates out there. also, if people just reach out to me I'm probably fine for the most part with them using my stuff. I frankly don't put enough effort into my coding to be that worried about it. I just think it's interesting and I don't understand it personally 😂 it's a little baffling.
there should be a trend on websites where everyone makes a trash pile page. on this page you put all of your ideas that you don't like. that whole your trash is someone else's treasure, that applies to ideas too. let someone execute something better than you would have, especially if you have no plans to execute at all

I want to do this but right now it's just an idea that I don't feel like executing lol

I have something somewhat similar, kinda-sorta. I just call it my "demos" page, filled with stuff that isn't finished yet, or may never get finished? *shrugs*

someone in a server im in got majorly teased about their reddit (connected to their discord) to the point they ended up deleting their reddit account, one way to go by it certainly 😭 it made me manually go thru and delete some of my comments there also... (fortunately not many, havent had much a presence there)

I only used Reddit for about a month and then deleted my account. I am interested in why folks are removing their data--AI scraping? Or privacy concerns?

The main reason I'm removing my presence is because I've been online stalked multiple times in my life. so if I leave a site I prefer to leave entirely! I'm not too worried about it right now but I just have these habits from those experiences. but yeah generally I think people are more concerned about data privacy now than they were before AI existed.

thanks! I find it to be a fascinating topic because I've never had problems being alone, and often prefer it, so a lot of that post was trying to explore a dynamic that I'm not familiar with

Yeah, I definitely use the internet as a numbing tool so that I can avoid the reality of being me. Lol. Though, I think I like being alone a lot more than most people. I always have something to work on that is not screen related - does that still count as solitude? My guess is that people have always sought ways to avoid true solitude, internet or not. But also, what IS true solitude?

You bring up a good point I didn't address - the difference between cognitive and physical solitude. physically being away from others vs cognitively distancing from other thoughts. to be in true cognitive solitude, you're not reading (screen or paper) or consuming other ideas. I think what I'm talking about in this post is probably leaning more to physical solitude. but now you've got me thinking!

someone emailed me to ask why I wasn't in the no AI web ring and I just want everyone to be aware that I'm not in any web rings.

I don't join them because most of them require adding JavaScript to your page and I am for no earthly good reason an HTML/CSS purist.

Yes that was my thought too but I ran out of comments. why are we policing something like that?? I hope people understand that everyone makes websites for different reasons. not everyone is out there joining every club that applies to them - absence of membership means nothing. you can't draw conclusions about that without understanding each individual webmaker

raise your hand if you often have intense horrific nightmares that linger after you wake and that you jump back into if you try to get back to sleep too quickly so you just end up waking up for the day at 3am

or if it's a normal hour where you are you can be in the club but you have to call it something else.

actually I like the idea of giving a club different names like that but we're all awake and doing the same stuff at the same time.

I've collected quite the collection of buttons! I've updated to change the layout & add mutuals who weren't there before. I got the idea for the layout after seeing @chesca's neighborhood page with all the cute houses. Shortly after I went shopping and saw one of those giant plaza signs and thought it looked like a buttons page, and here we are.
oops I forgot to make it mobile friendly. well I'll do that later.
Here's one for you :)) https://win99.dev/win99ani.gif
Love it! Thanks for the inclusion. I really need to make one of these soon.
im so bad about updating my own button wall :(
omg, i just realized i don't have your button for some reason!! i'll fix that now :)
ong i had the same thought while driving past a plaza the other day lol, this is great. thanks for having me, and i do have a button now btw, its on my homepage :)
Don't feel too bad, this is the first time I've updated it since last year... I hope I didn't miss anyone but let me know if I did! (also win99 thanks for the button, I actually got lost browsing your site and then forgot to look for one)
Tchun can't believe I missed that! it's right there!
