> And the part about wanting to create an "addictive experience"! About a door lock!

It actually made me LOL. Sounds like someone read https://www.amazon.com/Hooked-How-Build-Habit-Forming-Produc... and tried to apply gained knowledge to a door lock.


> In summary, I would never recommend to anybody to build a hackintosh unless he has the time and energy to make it work.

The name HACKintosh kind of tells you that, right? Sorry, but this was a pointless and non informative post.

I ran a Hackintosh from 2009 to 2013. It was extremely stable, but a bit cumbersome when doing updates. Things might have evolved since then.


Updates are very stable, especially now that there's Clover which mimics Apple's EFI much closely, but it's always an odd bet that some component of the OS won't change its behaviour and rely on something surprising, notably App Store, Messages or FaceTime breaking every now and then because they changed how hardware authentication works.

The fact that things are hardly documented except in forms of either step-by-step blind-handholding recipes or unscientific "hey I pushed this and pulled that and it works now!" forum posts doesn't help.


> but I have my router only allow access to sites like that for certain hours in the day

My router can do this, but not for sites using SSL (that is, just about every respectable site out there, these days). Do you filter IPs and not by domain?

Yeah it's a pain to do it right. I'm just doing it with a local DNS server for the moment.

I've considered setting up a local Raspberry Pi for both PiHole to block ads, and running Squid or whatever on it to provide better SSL filtering. If there a nice writeup for how to do this I would also be interested.

When I am working on a single computer away from home I sometimes just manually edit my hosts file. Crude but it still catches me a bunch of times over the day where I almost unconsciously pop up a distracting site.


My Draytek Vigor router can filter SSL sites by keywords in domain.

It results in an ugly SSL error (bad certificate) when the filter is active, but it fits the job.


If you're not blue-light staff it does not seem like a rational fear. Smartphones has made us all control freaks. I think we need to practice giving up control.


https://copperhead.co/android/ is already doing amazing work and sell devices if you want to support them. I've been running it for close to a year and I can't praise it enough.


There's also http://simplepie.org/ for those who don't wish to roll their own.


> html5/css3 improved the wrong factors, or at least gave people the wrong idea about where to spend time

Ehm. What does HTML5 and CSS3 have to do with any of this madness?


it pushed toward aesthetics capabilities


I ended up using https://elementcss.neocities.org/

Calling these things a framework seems like an exaggeration. I prefer to call them “a stylesheet”.

Sakura seems to be done by someone who's not too familiar with typographic conventions. The distance to a paragraph following a header looks to be the same as the paragraph preceding a header.


And this seems to be the source of the infographic you found (the artist is Adolfo Arranz):

Not sure I'm getting you… An extension to view old pages? This is the worst idea I've heard in a long time. The web is awesome partly because it's backwards compatible.


I'm not saying I want that, I'm saying it'd be super simple to do if things came to that.

My primary point is that presentational markup is not required to get value from all but the most meta of old pages.
