Colophon

This website is fully responsive, static, printable and can be read without needing stylesheets (CSS). It does not use JavaScript.

I try to keep this website as small as possible, preferably fitting all pages and assets on a standard 3.5" floppy (1.44 MB). Websites are getting progressively larger [1] and I have no intention of following this trend. Good design is as little design as possible. [2]

This website uses native fonts by default. If non-native fonts are used, they are self-hosted and do not call external services.

Accessibility

This website should be accessible and meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA accessibility standard. If you experience any difficulties using this website, please do not hesitate to reach out on Mastodon (@chronocide@sunny.garden).

Privacy

Website

This website does not collect any analytics whatsoever. The right to privacy is a fundamental human right and I have no "legitimate interest" in your data. I have no desire to:

If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights - no one else will do it for you.

Server

The server this website is hosted on does however collect your IP address (temporarily), as it is owned by neocities:

Retention of site visitor IP addresses. To ensure reader privacy, Neocities does not permanently archive the IP addresses of visitors to sites hosted on Neocities. However, we do temporarily store IP addresses for the purpose of calculating hourly statistics for sites. After the calculations are finished, the log files (including the IP addresses) are deleted, a process that normally happens within a few hours of the IP addresses being recorded.

[...]

Please understand that it is legal for us to do this, as the United States currently has no mandatory data retention law.

Neocities reserves the right to change this policy in the future. We also reserve the right to challenge Doe subpoenas in court on behalf of our users.

Artificial Intelligence

Twas for the journey, not the goal, I cared. [3]

I do not condone the use of generative AI in its current state, (especially LLM's), nor will I (knowingly) feature, reference or otherwise interact with works created with it due to the following reasons:

If you're currently using tools that rely on (or are built by) generative AI, perhaps reconsider. The harm it causes does not, and most likely will not, offset the (supposed) benefits. Similar ideas and technologies exist where the benefits don't (or didn't) offset the harm:
