Lemmy is a weird place

I don’t think Microsoft is owned by private equity
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 11 hours ago:
It is almost like it is a for profit company or something
It isn’t a charity. The goal is to bring in money for the investors, nothing else.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 11 hours ago:
Large companies like Microsoft tend to have very high competition. The trade off is that if you can do well the pay is going to be very well.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 11 hours ago:
I think it is silly to “support” large for profit companies
Buy something if you like product.

Does anyone know why they played off that many?
It seems like a weird move

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 day ago:
I think most people are smart enough to realize what is going on.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 day ago:
It would make the public hate the politicians who came up with the online safety bill in the first place
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 day ago:
Somehow I don’t see this being a popular move
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 day ago:
The UK politicians who thought this was a good idea deserve a “ban”
Seriously, how did they not see this coming?

I think part of it is that change tends to be labeled as unhealthy
I’m not saying there isn’t unhealthy characteristics about it but to say it is all bad is a stretch.

Good luck enforcing it
Teens tend to be highly rebellious

- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
Why spend time and money on something that will end up being only half functional. It costs money to support that.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
Not all frameworks are bad
The problem is the devs/owners not understanding basic fundamentals. They could see a major financial benefit if they make the page snappy and light but apparently no one at these companies realizes that.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
That isn’t how it works
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
They could just add a text box that says please enable JavaScript.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
It is a lot simpler to just require JavaScript. It is widely supported and is default enabled on all platforms and browsers.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
Have you ever tried building a modern page without JavaScript.
You can do a lot of things with HTML5 and CSS. It just is very complicated and painful. It isn’t intuitive and the behavior will vary across browser.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
Why would someone spend tons of time on something that isn’t needed? Only a few people even know how to turn off JavaScript and chances are they will just turn it back on since nothing works.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
I hate “dark mode” so much
Don’t default to it as it makes the page hard to read and ugly. If you want make it optional that is fine but don’t force it.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
It depends on what you are doing
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
You want to see terrible try looking at the network tab in inspect element
“Modern” pages load hundreds of large assets instead of keeping it smaller and clean.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 3 days ago:
JavaScript is needed to actually build anything useful. It is way easier to maintain and when done properly it can be very fast to load and use.
The problem with today’s web is that pages are extremely inefficient and bloated. You can keep the same UI just don’t try to use every framework and library under the sun. Also it would be nice if people actually formated assets properly instead of using tons of large images and other assets.
