  Please don't post like this to HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. You may not owe websites that you feel look like shit better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

While I love a good lamentation about how much more fun the internet used to be, this has nothing to do with the title.

    I do not how that happened (perhaps it was changed?), I am almost certain I got this right as I remember double checking the post after I submitted. I do not agree entirely with the post linked to, the post above is what I intended to submit.

      The html code of the page you submitted says <link rel="canonical" href="https://frutigeraeroarchive.org/blog/posts/23_07_2025" /> That confuses the server of HN. If this is your page, fix the html a and repost the new link. If this is not your page, send an email to hn@ycombinator.com explaining the problem so dang/tomhow can tell you what to do.

        Seems to be fixed now and in less than ten minutes after I sent the e-mail.

Modern internet consists basically of two parts, amazon and google ads. Anything else is either a side show or a place to put ads on. All the linking happens between google ads and amazon. It's no longer a web, it's all a funnel. Putting commerce on the internet was the best and the worst thing that happened to it.

I truly loathe the term "frutiger aero" I do remember using similar techniques 20 years ago to imitate Aero and Aqua in Flash and CSS though.

  > I truly loathe the term "frutiger aero" As i understand it, the term was only recently made up by a group of students, who've seemingly been working overtime to make it "a thing".
