I remember a time when WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) was a thing. A good thing. When you print something out on paper, it looks like what you see on the screen. I missed the memo where was we all said fuck that, let's regress and no matter what we (the website) show on the screen, let's print garbage just for fun. Fucking hell, seriously, we aren't smart enough to print out a webpage like it looks on the screen? With trillions spent on AI, we can't figure it out?

There's no excuse for that. It's pretty simple html & csl code to do it; it was a standard on the web pages I developed during my career. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Why are you printing websites out? _____________________________________________ Proverbs 3:31 "Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways." | |||

Reminds me of a company vice president who had his emails printed out. During meetings, he’d read them and write his replies and his admin would answer his emails for him. If I want to print a whole webpage and I sometimes do, I take a screenshot and save the screenshot as a JPG or PDF. It’s usually product information of something I bought. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Come on! Really? How else to save information? I've got multiple filing cabinets full of website printouts of interesting stuff I don't want to lose dating to 1996! All cross-referenced and cross-indexed! | |||
