@ploum I think many of these behavior addictions are generally closer to maladaptive soothing behaviors.
We learn to grab the phone when we feel discomfort, because it makes us feel less uncomfortable.
This quickly becomes a loop as it all but ensures we don't constructively address whatever discomforts or anxieties we have, which means we have more of that, and engage in more of the soothing behavior.

@zefu I don't have any statistics, but I agree with the description that HEAD is pretty poorly supported, and you have to be prepared to try again with GET.
I think the most common case for HEAD is to use it to grab Last-Modified and ETag, and for dynamically generated pages, that may still entail doing most of the work for rendering the page, e.g. multiple database queries. So in that sense, I do think the spotty HEAD support makes sense, as network bandwidth is very rarely a bottleneck.

Have very much been feeling this bit lately. The social web is an evaporating ocean, leaving only an inhospitable salty death zone full of bots, shills, and influence campaigns, immitating the people that used to be around.
"In the year 5555, your arms are hangin' limp at your sides, your legs got nothing to do, some machine doin' that for you." Zager and Evans sang these words in 1969. Now, thirty-five centuries ahead of schedule, it's never been easier to tell the world "I didn't care about this and I don't care about you."
