…Took a look at that GitLab letter URL on my laptop and it renders fine, but it continues to return Error 500 on my old-ish phone ☝️
I think what’s probably going on is related to the letter’s 23 KB of actual text being accompanied by 115 JavaScript requests transferring 2.27 MB and decompressing to 7.26 MB.
My best guess is that somewhere in that garbage fire of agentic abuse is a process my phone cannot complete which creates a request recursion that the server eventually blocks 🤷♂️
…The sheer scale of waste being generated is mind-fucking.
Yes I know that it’s just electrons magicking up a reading experience. Yes I know that the price of moving them is close to zero.
But the uncountable scale will for sure make the cost of moving them be unaffordable sometime soon.
I wish that big capital could see this but it is utterly blind
