What do you see as signs? I was hopeful that Ternus’s hardware background was a positive.

Probably both? I did find its omission spoke loudly. I use it every day on desktop. The only enshitification I have to worry about is Alan Dye’s hit and run crimes against usability.

I’m in the same camp. The next escalation is defending against a TV scanning for, and joining unprotected neighbor networks to “phone home.” It’s a thing.

New comment by eightnoneone in "Don’t use “click here” as link text (2001)"

This is the internet hill I'll likely die on. A call-to-action is one thing, but a page that only links the word "here" is a hard fail of an author not understanding the hypertext medium.

I think of "click here" as stage direction mistakenly left in. When most authors write, they often don't write in a hypertext context. Instead of using a Markdown-like notation for links, they default to stage direction.

This is only a problem if a client application has a server certificate pinned in source code. Otherwise, you can create a cert with a privacy CA and add it to a desktop OS trusted cert store.

I think having those four approaches is the key thing and you’re addressing it well. The flow is really the readers choice. My brain works in the way of wanting the overall explanation first. Then I seek the how-tos and tutorials.

Terrible idea?!? Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Or an electric one?

I've been riding for ~40 years and I don't think I've _ever_ met someone who rode an ICE bike for the fuel/emissions efficiency. It's for the fun and adventure. My stock Energica does 0-60 in 2.8s. WAAAY more fun than my 30yo 1100cc.

Pretty GOOD idea from where I'm sitting.

I’ve owned both.

This is a step in the right direction, but Zero has some serious need to repair their reputation, IMHO. They attempted to do the scummy “pay to unlock” thing with features already on the bike.

It’s surely the leader in the bikes’ capabilities and reliability.

Rewrite your links without the word “here.” Hypertext does not require stage direction.
