Une page simple mais bien faite qui explique 1/ pourquoi et 2/ comment bloquer la pub sur le web.

La publicité pollue nos écrans, nos pensées et nous impose une vision stéréotypée de la société.

• Elle ralentit l'affichage des autres contenus et consomme de l'énergie inutilement.
• Elle rend dépendants la presse, les créatrices et créateurs, vidant nos médias de leur diversité.
• Elle surveille toutes nos actions en ligne pour déceler nos faiblesses et nous pousser à surconsommer.

If you take just one thing away from this article, I want it to be this: please build your own website. A little home on the independent web.

A reflection of your personality in HTML and CSS (and a little bit of JS, as a treat). This could be a professional portfolio, listing your accomplishments. It might be a blog where you write about things that matter to you. It could even be something very weird and pointless (even better) – I love a good single-joke website. Ultimately, it's your space and you can do whatever you want with it.

Today I hope to persuade you that the same thing that happened to aviation is happening with the Internet. Here we are, fifty years into the computer revolution, at what feels like our moment of greatest progress. The outlines of the future are clear, and oh boy is it futuristic.

But we're running into physical and economic barriers that aren't worth crossing.

We're starting to see that putting everything online has real and troubling social costs.

And the devices we use are becoming 'good enough', to the point where we can focus on making them cheaper, more efficient, and accessible to everyone.

So despite appearances, despite the feeling that things are accelerating and changing faster than ever, I want to make the shocking prediction that the Internet of 2060 is going to look recognizably the same as the Internet today.

Unless we screw it up.

And I want to convince you that this is the best possible news for you as designers, and for us as people.

Whenever you take a measure during a moment of strength that guards against your own future self's weakness, you enter into a Ulysses Pact – think throwing away the Oreos when you start your diet.

There is no such thing as a person who is immune to rationalization or pressure. I'm certainly not. Anyone who believes that they will never be tempted is a danger to themselves and the people who rely on them. A belief you can never be tempted or coerced is like a belief that you can never be conned – it makes you more of a mark, not less.

Resilient Web Design, un livre en accès libre sur l'évolution du web.

Le web est désormais tellement rempli de contenu généré en masse dans un seul but marketing (SEO, spam etc) que Google est en train d'abandonner sa mission d'indexer le web tout entier. En sélectionnant les sources de valeurs (ou d'autorité), il se rapproche progressivement d'un catalogue exclusif, réservé aux grands acteurs du web.

Imposer aux gens qui s'expriment sur le web d'utiliser leur véritable identité ne résout aucun problème et en introduit de nouveaux, comme le montre l'exemple de la Corée du Sud : moins de 1% de diminution des commentaires malveillants, réduction de la liberté d'expression et de la sphère privée, augmentation massive des tentatives de piratage des sites qui doivent désormais stocker les données personnelles des gens, coûts importants pour les sites, application à deux vitesses de la loi, etc.
