# Make the Internet Great Again… Again?
|
||
|
||
Hey everyone, I'm Alex.
|
||
|
||
We've grown quite a bit, so there's a good chance some of you have no idea who am I.
|
||
|
||
Which is fine. Sometimes I'm not entirely sure myself.
|
||
|
||
I work on our macOS browser. And for these Hack Days, I thought I'd make it a little bit greater Again.
|
||
|
||
Again?
|
||
|
||
**[Pause]**
|
||
|
||
They say Jesus was a simple hacker. Took a little water…
|
||
Turned it into wine… accepted some Cookies…
|
||
Pretty impressive for a Hack Days project!
|
||
|
||
**[Start the screen sharing with https://infiniteslop.ai/ open]**
|
||
|
||
But seriously… how did the world get so crazy?
|
||
|
||
AI is everywhere. Information is coming at us faster than we can process it. Everything is getting smarter, faster, more complicated…
|
||
|
||
And somehow, everything is starting to look exactly the same.
|
||
|
||
[https://liquid-glass-eta.vercel.app/webgl.html]
|
||
|
||
Everything is a Liquid Ass. Transparent panels, floating buttons, rounded corners…
|
||
|
||
!BEIGE!
|
||
|
||
You know what? Sometimes I just want to burn it all down.
|
||
|
||
**[Click Fire — show the new fire animation]**
|
||
|
||
MUCH better!
|
||
|
||
Let's do it again!
|
||
|
||
**[Click Fire — show the new fire animation]**
|
||
|
||
But where can we even Start now?
|
||
|
||
**[Click Start]**
|
||
|
||
Sometimes you just want to run away, back to something familiar.
|
||
|
||
**[Click Run → enter Bookmark search mode]**
|
||
|
||
Something that keeps you going.
|
||
|
||
**[Enter Going -> open DuckDuckGoing bookmark]**
|
||
|
||
Or Search for something
|
||
|
||
**[Run → Search]**
|
||
|
||
That actually makes you happy.
|
||
|
||
**[type "ducklings", show results]**
|
||
|
||
There we go. Ducks. The internet still has some good stuff.
|
||
|
||
And when even ducks aren't enough… sometimes you just need someone to talk to.
|
||
|
||
**[Run → AI — open Duck.ai -> ask "Is it normal to miss the internet from 1998?"**]**
|
||
|
||
But maybe the real problem isn't the internet.
|
||
|
||
Maybe it's how we look at it.
|
||
|
||
I wish there was a way to get into the settings of this whole life.
|
||
|
||
**[Open Settings]**
|
||
|
||
Change how the world Appears.
|
||
|
||
**[Appearance]**
|
||
|
||
What if we could go back?
|
||
|
||
Back before everything became glass. Back when buttons looked like buttons. Windows looked like windows. And you could actually tell where one thing ended and another began.
|
||
|
||
**[Select Retro theme]**
|
||
|
||
Something like THIS.
|
||
|
||
**[Open New Tab Page]**
|
||
|
||
Smells like Christmas mornings, hot chocolate, and mandarins. Back when everybody we miss were still around…
|
||
|
||
Maa, can I miss the school today?
|
||
|
||
**[Open https://www.spacejam.com/1996/]**
|
||
|
||
Remember when websites had personality? When every page felt like a place someone had actually built?
|
||
|
||
And speaking of the little things…
|
||
|
||
**[Shrink browser window; Hover over a link near the bottom-left corner]**
|
||
|
||
Even the link tooltip knows when it's in your way now, and moves out of the way.
|
||
|
||
Imagine that — a UI element that actually respects your space.
|
||
|
||
Respects your privacy...
|
||
|
||
You just need to Start
|
||
|
||
**[Click Start]**
|
||
|
||
And ask for Help.
|
||
|
||
**[Click Help]**
|
||
|
||
And here you go.
|
||
|
||
Your protection. Your privacy. Your peace of mind. |
