I’m ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊

I’m hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.

Those things are super important, IMO. For sure. Important services for society.

Not even a noscript tag at all or anything, yeah. Very bad.

I think we’re on the same page here. Your reply seems to me to argue against the people who are completely against JavaScript and who treat its very presence like a complete site-breaking bug. I am not of their opinion either. But I do sympathize with the sentiment that it is being used for evil.

Ah yes. Progressive enhancement, I remember that. I wonder when and how that morphed into graceful degradation.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
Good stuff!
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
lol, no argument here, to be fair 😄

I had a bit of trouble following that first paragraph. I don’t understand what it is that you say it sounds like I’m saying.
Either way, none of what you wrote I disagree with. I feel the same. Bad design does not elicit trust.

That’s excellent.
And what do you make that doesn’t include JavaScript? Like what kind of software/website/content? If you don’t mind sharing, of course.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
Does that little snippet include suggestions, like I mentioned? Of course it’s easier with less functionality.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
What country or area would that be?
And what do you mean by “do it”? What is it exactly that you do or make without JavaScript?
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
Of course it depends, like all things. But in my mind, there’s a few select, very specific types of pages that wouldn’t require at least a bit of JavaScript these days. Very static, non-changing, non-interactive. Even email could work/has worked with HTML only. But the experience is severely limited and reduced, of course.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
An empty page isn’t great, I would indeed agree with that.
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
If you have static content, then sure, serve up some SSR HTML. But pages with even static content usually have some form of interactivity, like searching (suggestions/auto-complete), etc. 🤷♂️

I also have the right to self-censor myself for effect. 👍👍

I saw something just recently where they did like thousands of hours worth of tests but couldn’t reproduce it? Now it’s way worse?
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 1 week ago:
😆 F—ck, I hear you loud and clear on that one. But that’s a different problem altogether, organizing information.
People suck at that. I don’t think they ever even use their own site or have it tested on anyone before shipping. Sometimes it’s absolutely impossible to find information about something, like even what a product even is or does. So stupid.

If you want to zoom into a graph plot, you want each wheel scroll tick to be sent to the server to generate a new image and a full page reload?
How would you even detect the mouse wheel scroll?
All interactivity goes out the door.

CSS doing most of the heavy-lifting java is usually crutched to do
JavaScript you mean? Some small subset of things that JavaScript was forced to handle before can be done in CSS, yes, but that only goes for styling and layout, not interactivity, obviously.
I did webdev before the framework blight. That’s the basis for my claim that javascript lamers are just lazy
There is some extremely heavy prejudice and unnecessary hate going on here, which is woefully misdirected. Well get to that. But the amount of time that has passed since you did web dev might put at a disadvantage to make claims about web development these days. 👍
Anyway. Us JavaScript/TypeScript “lamers” are doing the best with what we’ve got. The web platform is very broken and fragmented because of its history. It’s not something regular web devs can do much about. We use the framework or library that suits us best for the task at hand and the resources we are given (time, basically). It’s not like any project will be your dream unicorn project where you get to decide the infrastructure from the start or get to invent a new library or a new browser to target that does things differently and doesn’t have to be backwards compatible with the web at large. Things don’t work this way.
Don’t you think we sigh all day because we have to monkey patch the web to make our sites behave in the way the acceptance criteria demand? You call that lazy, but we are working our knuckles to the bone to make things work reasonably well for as many people as we can, including accessibility for those with reduced function. It’s not an easy task.
… “Lazy.” I scoffed in offense, to be honest with you.
It’s like telling someone who made bread from scratch they’re lazy for not growing their own wheat, ffs.
Let’s see you do better. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

People in this thread who aren’t web devs: “web devs are just lazy”
Web devs: Alright buddy boy, you try making a web site these days with the required complexity with only HTML and CSS. 😆 All you’d get is static content and maybe some forms. Any kind of interactivity goes out the door.
Non web devs: “nah bruh this site is considered broken for the mere fact that it uses JavaScript at all”

The big four double oh! Congratulations!

Yeah, I downloaded all those OSTs from YouTube to keep on disk and play via Spotify.
Also they’re available in Nintendo’s music app for on-the-go listening. 😁

- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 3 weeks ago:
Yet people in my extended family keep buying them. They are people who are well off, too, so they could buy something nicer. They bought a trailer home for $30,000 to use for vacationing ffs, might as well invest in a nice car so they don’t have to buy a new one every 3–5 years because it rusts to shit.
This is partially my envy talking, but still, I don’t get it. I have a nicer car and my household makes less. Makes no sense.
