#smallnet #smallweb episode feat. @aral of https://small-web.org/ and #Kitten.
due to a timezone mixup, Aral is a recording. I have no idea what he has recorded.
First in a string of guest interviews.
We were planning to talk about the attacks on @Codeberg and #hyperlinks I think
Outlook Default Browser.
By default, any links you open from an Outlook email will be opened in Microsoft Edge, even if you have a different browser set as your default browser in Windows.
Here is how you can change the default browser for any links you open in Outlook.
And this is using the most recent version of Outlook.
1. After opening Outlook, Hit Alt F to open the file menu.
2. Arrow up and press enter on Options.
3. Press the letter A until you hear Advanced.
4. Tab about 7 times until you hear, Open hyperlinks from Outlook in combo box.
5. Microsoft Edge should be the one listed. Arrow down until you hear default browser and press enter.
6. Now whatever browser you have listed as your default browser in Windows will be used to open hyperlinks from Outlook emails.
7. It is quicker to shift tab until you get to the OK button, then press it to close the window.
When hyperlinks become poetry.

The #hyperlinks are the point: the #NYT #Editorial Board lets the paper’s news reporting convey why #Trump is dangerous, corrupt, and unfit for #Election2024. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/02/opinion/vote-harris-2024-election.html
"If you degrade hyperlinks, and you degrade this idea of the internet as something that refers you to other things, you instead have this stationary internet where a generative AI agent will hoover up and summarize all the information that's out there, and place it right in front of you so that you never have to leave the portal."
Cool URIs don't change and that's what 301 is for. Yes, even for you Google as you heavily push it to everyone else.

From Hieroglyphs to #Hyperlinks: Why #Knowledge #Management Is as Old as Time and Not a New Phenomenon
Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is often portrayed and perceived as a modern phenomenon, especially in the context of the so-called #digitalage and the #informationage. However, the roots of PKM are ancient, extending back to the earliest forms of human communication and record-keeping.

Never use a URL shortening service - even if you own it

The Guardian launched its online adventures back in 1999. At some point, they started using the name "Guardian Unlimited". Hey, the dot com boom made us all do crazy things! As part of that branding, they proudly used the domain GU.com
Over time, the branding faded and GU.com became a URL shortening service. Tiny URls like gu.com/abc could be printed in papers, sent via SMS, or posted on Twitter. They made a huge fanfare about how it would help with analytics.
You can read some of the history of the shortner to understand why it was created.

Niche twitter thread time. I'm raising a glass to the end of the @guardian's URL shortener gu.com, which is now on sale for £2.5 million.Back when twitter was only 140 chars & didn't shrink url links itself, making short URLs a whole important thing.

And now, for reasons best known to themselves, The Gaurdian have stopped the service and put GU.com up for sale.
The starting price is TWO AND HALF MILLION DOLLARS!
Look, if I had an asset that valuable and was looking at declining revenue, I'd sell it.
But breaking that URl comes with a problem. I've written before about why URl shortening is bad for users and bad for the web. I've even helped publish government guidance about it. But all of those were based on the premise that the shortener was a 3rd party service. I never thought someone would be as daft as to switch off their own service.
Here are some of the problems this sale causes.

Whoever buys the gu.com domain will effectively get to rewrite history.
They can redirect links like these - and change the nature of the content being commented on.Joyce Alene

The Steele Dossier asserted Russian hacking of the DNC was "conducted with the full knowledge & support of Trump & senior members of his campaign.” Trump's war against the FBI & efforts to obstruct make sense if he thought they could prove it. gu.com/p/axa7k/stw
Is there a tweet somewhere of a future politician saying "I support this 100% GU.com/...."? Redirect that to something horrific and you have a potential scandal on your hand.
There are lots of academic papers with gu.com shortened links. Those are all now dead.
Millions of links around the web - including many on the Grauniad itself - are all now broken.
The Guarrdian could fix this by publishing a list of all the shortened URls. That wouldn't stop links breaking, but would make it possible for researchers to reconstruct the original destination.
For decades, we've tried to remind people that "Cool URls Don't Change". We'll just have to hope that the people of the future find a way to decipher all these obsolete links.
