The business customer who actually pays for the development.
Maybe if you can’t use the web without disabling JS, you shouldn’t?
Progressive Web Apps are the best tool for many jobs right now because they run just about everywhere and opposed to every single other technology we’ve had up until now they have the potential to not look like complete shit!
And the whole cross compilation that a lot of these frameworks promise is a comete pipe dream. It works only for the most basic of use cases. PWAs are the first and so far only technology I’ve used that doesn’t come with a ton of extra effort for each supported plattfrom down the line.

The lady with the stalker actually kills him a couple of years later and lives the rest of her life peacefuly and secluded off of his fortune. (According to the wiki)

All Dishonored games feel amazing when you manage to get in and out completely unseen and unheard. And there’s always a none lethal option to get rid of your target. Although I’d argue most of the times the non-lethal option is the more cruel one…

Did you just propose degrading instant messengers back into email? 😂
How exactly do you propose people actually chat with such a system? Continuously hammering F5 while being actively engaged with another person? 😂
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
Not if you want them to be at least halfway user friendly. Input field valudation is terrible when done completely server side, and several input elements like multiselect dropdowns, comboboxes and searchfields won’t work at all unless supported by client side JavaScript. And have you ever tried to do file previews and upload progress bars purly serverside?

If it’s a standard webpage that only displays some static content, then sure.
But everything that needs to be interactive (and I’m talking about actual interactivity here, not just navigation) requires Javascript and it’s really not worth the effort of implementing fallbacks for everything just so you can tell your two users who actually get to appreciate this effort that the site still won’t work because the actual functionallity requires JavaScript.
It all comes down to what the customer is ready to pay for and usually they’re not ready to pay for anything besides core functionallity. Heck, I’m having a hard enough time getting budget for all the legally required accessibility. And sure, some of that no script stuff pays into that as well, but by far not everything.
Stuff like file uploads, validated forms and drag and drop are just not worth the effort of providing them without JS.

Nothing screams “I have no social life and still live in my moms basement” like using a CLI browser.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 6 days ago:
Volatility doesn’t mean bad
Yes, yes it does when we’re talking about a payment system. Hence why no one pays stuff in shares except for some billionairs for tax reasons!

Bullshit!
- Comment on Has the live-service dream crashed back down to earth? | Opinion 1 week ago:
There are two games in which I have spent money on cosmetics. Path of Exile and Vermintide 2 and in both of them I wasn’t not even interested in the cosmetics. I just wantwd to support the developers further
- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, and I know I’m gonna get downvoted for this again, but he makes a surprising amount of sense in a lot of topics he touches and it often seems like his respknses are well thought through and quite eloquent.
And that’s exactly the problem. It makes it really easy for some people to fall for his batshit crazy bullshit takes and it makes him a lot more dangerous than if he was just some crazy Maga nut.
He also addresses a lot of the struggles his predominantly young male audience experiences. Something, pretty much everyone else fails to do. And his arguments only really fall apart once you invest quite some time to look deeper into the matter.
Disregarding Asmongold as just a crazy basement dweller with dead rats in his house might be easy but it’s severely underestimating the danger that this man poses if we don’t find ways to offer a better save space for his target audience. Although, Dr. K. is doing god’s work here!
- Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light? 3 weeks ago:
In Germany almost every traffic light has them nowadays. It can Sometimes be annoying when you’re riding a bike made of carbon. But usually my phone and laptop seem to be enough to trigger them.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio begs rioting fans for benefit of the doubt after leadership axed by owner Krafton: 'The team that has been working on the game day-to-day ... remains completely unchanged' 3 weeks ago:
Half of those aren’t even bugs. They’re intendes gameplay elements and they are what makes Subnautica such a good game! No being able to easily kill most creature is what makes the game better. Torpedos being borderline useless is what makes the game better. The extremely limited O2 meter makes the game better!
The cyclops is amazing. You’re just very obviously use it wrong. It’s not meant to explore the volcanic region. It’s meant as a mobile base and it absolutely excells at this!
Honestly, the draw distance optimization may be the only valid concern here.

Absolutely what everyone else says. Keep signing. There’s a good chance this petition could reach the most signatures ever for a EU Citizens Initiative. I believe the current record is 1.7mil.

Thank you. At least some people on this abomination of an antisocial media still seem to use their brain.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 1 month ago:
Was gonna say it. This perfectly descripes the last few Assassins Creed titles. Not bad enough to put them away, but also not good enough to leave any kind of lasting impact.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 months ago:
Last of Us 1 was really good. But the second one was so bad, it kind of ruined the first one for me as well. And I wouldn’t call it masterpiece. Because for me a masterpiece shines in gameplay, narrative and atmosphere. The Last of Us’ gameplay serves its purpose, but there’s really nothing special here compared to e.g. Elden Ring, were story, atmosphere and gameplay are all pretty much perfect.

Hm, seems like my blahaj.zone-Filter has failed me. Nut good to know that this instance still only produces garbage.

Check if the Impressum is also behind a paywall. Then they’re seriously in trouble :D
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 months ago:
So, I briefly tried out Matrix some four years ago and left because it was utter trash and from waht I gather from your comment it is still pretty much trash now. But despite there not being ansingle usable cluent, people still try to convince everyone that Matrix, by some obscrure metric, is superior to all other chat programs.
Sorry to say, but a chat protocol on its own is a tech demo at best and as long as there isn’t a single feature complete and usable client, it’s an alternative for no one except hardcore tech enthusiasts.
When I last used Matrix/Elements I had to deal with “lost keys” issues multiple times in just two months. This issue is a dealbreaker if it happens just once in a year and apparently, it’s still a semi regular problem for some of my friends.
Just accept it, Matrix will never be a replacement for Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram or even just Microsoft Teams.
- Comment on [Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance Problems 2 months ago:
Fighting games would run well on a fing smart fridge. They’re by far the least performance hungry game genre. There is no live loading of assets, the Background scenery is 100% static and there are usually just two characters on the screen on any given moment. It would take actual effort to fck up the performance of something so simple

- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 3 months ago:
Raft only truly shines when you play it with friends. Otherwise it gets old real fast. But with a crew of 3-4 chaotic people on board it’s a ton of fun!
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 3 months ago:
Either Subnautica or AC Black Flag. Odyssey’s water gameplay sucks balls compared to Black Flag.
Alternatively, Raft is quite nice
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 3 months ago:
I mean, I bought the starter ship for SC which was 40€ I believe and I still play occaisonally. I’d say I definitely got my money’s worth out of that game.

Yeah, but that’s the thing. Other accounts don’t bring millions of revenue.
