Sometime after 2000, we forgot the dangers of overengineering.

Microg only minimizes data sent to Google which is still half as bad.

The almost-monopolist who wants to step up their gatekeeping game, while the EU is distracted with Apple.

That said, it’s pretty hard to build a responsive web app without at least a little bit of JavaScript.

Not really. You just need to learn the difference between width and max-width.
I do UserCSS now and then and 2 of 3 sites use them wrong. That and position: fixed overuse. Also, use @media (min-width) only for layout changes, not for sizing.

And also, functionality/layouting first, design after.

"But CSS sucks”

I believe a lot of the negativity towards CSS stems from not really knowing how to use it. Many developers kind of just skip learning the CSS fundamentals in favor of the more interesting Java- and TypeScript, and then go on to complain about a styling language they don’t understand.

True. I did a HTML+CSS-only gallery when CSS3 just came out. And was positively surprised a few days ago, that a online gallery viewer had a shareable URL per picture (GET request).

While JS forms should just die. They always lose the content on reload or failed send (because of brittle client-side JS send, instead of using age-old browser-features).

Poettering’s new startup:

Btw, i’m stealing your summary of browser monoculture, alright?

There are now multiple alternatives that do a better job at what Systemd does.

What is it always with Systemd-is-the-only-alternative (vs. SysV scripts)? That’s 15 years out of date.

Also, you don’t need sockets.

The face he makes here…

Summary: a opinion piece (with a clickbait title) about how Zuckbook is only a AI wasteland anymore.

Keyboard shortcuts. And also, launchers.

Then this is Windows 10/11:

Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.

Alpine

Who’s this?

Great. Maybe we can stop using electron in everything now.

Just get a cli trash tool and alias it to rm. Arch wiki

What’s with this site? Uses JS to first slowly load the layout, then the teaser pic, then the text. Wrong priorities i guess.

Businesses buy IPS displays, the tech that trades colors and contrast for a wider viewing angle. Then they slap a prism foil on top, to reduce the viewing angle (but also colors and contrast). They do this for decades now.

I mean, buy a TN or VA instead? They are even cheaper.

Uhm, guys, the skin is not a plastic wrap but a organ; it absorbs substances. And while some can be bad for the skin (like, causing rash or cancer), some others can get into the blood stream this way. And some plastic softeners (of earpieces for example) are not allowed in most markets for this very reason.

Not about the article but about some of the comments here.

CDU is the fascist party of Germany, while AFD is the Nazi part.
