And that’s why a free trade deal between the EU and the Us would be absolutely horrible. Keep your useless garbage on the other side of the pond. We don’t want it!

Yeah, I’m downvoting this shit. This is not mildly infuriating, this is just unnecessary ragebait and the fact that OP didn’t even blur out the usernames clearly shows their intention to go against rule 5.

Honestly, the arch linux forums are one of the worst offenders in my experience. Most of my “you should have learned that during the installation”, “why do you even use X? Y is way better and does something completely different” and worst of all “Of course it doesn’t work. Manjaro is just DDOS” encounters stem from there. But XDA is a pretty ok place.

Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs. Forums were good at some point. But nowadays it feels like only the most socially deranged, basement dwelling, self righteous asshats are still on there. And this is especially true for anything related to linux.

Sure, you may get a usable answer somewhere down the line. But the amount of verbal abuse, “Uhm actshually” and “why don’t you do completely unrelated thing” you get is unbearable.

I don’t know about other countries, but here in Germany E-Bikes are limited to 25 km/h. That’s pretty close to the slowest speed a motorbike can drive at.

I believe you’re talking about racing bikes. Those fully manual and can reach high speeds depending on the driver. But when riding a racing bike, a reinforced leather jacket and trousers are pretty much a surefire way to overheat. I guess a point could be made for knee and ell ow protectors, but everything else is just incompatible with the body’s need to cool down.

Because having your entire community on one platform is just a hell of a lot more convenient and manageable especially for smaller development studios. And Discord offers way better tools for moderation and real time discussions than any other tool I know.

Sure, the searchability via search engines is pretty much none existent. But then again, you don’t really need that if all information regarding your game can be found via the Discord search.

Additionally, players from all platforms can contribute and ask questions on Discord. The same is not true for e.g. the Steam User Forum.

There’s a lot of problems with Discord and I feel like it’s only gonna get worse now that they’re public. But being blatantly oblivious to the obvious reasons why developers are choosing Discord over its alternatives helps no one.

Htmx requires JS. At that point you already failed in the eyes of the purists. And CDNs exist for a reason. You can’t expect a website to guarantee perfect uptime and response times without the use of CDNs. And don’t get me started on how expensive it would be to host a globally requested website without a CDN. That’s a surefire way to get a million dollar bill from amazon!

I like React, but Svelte really hits the spot. But no matter what framework you use, let’s all be glad that we’re not like those reality averse people complaining in this thread 🙏

So, your site still doesn’t work without JS but you get to not use all the convenience React brings to the table? Boy, what a deal! Maybe you should go talk to Trump about those tariffs. You seem to be at least as capable as Flintenuschi!

I don’t know about everyone else, but I actively avoid shops that are next to any kind of multilane road.

And after that you chose Lemmy of all places? No offense, but the people and especially the mods here are even more batshit crazy when it comes to anything even remotely considered not left. 😂

I got banned from PoliticalMemes for saying that Hamas are a terrorist organization. Someone else got banned from the entirety of Blahaj.zone for saying that dragons aren’t real. The list goes on. Reddit is centralist heaven compared to Lemmy! Heck, some of the mods are openly Putin and Winney Poo fan tankies!

That being said, there’s still a lot of cool people and communities here that are pretty nice. Just stay away from anything even remotely political if you’re not a downright communist/tankie. 🫣

Edit: The downvotes and comments below are once again proofing my point.

Edit2: Seems like I got myself another social stalker with this comment - CakeLova556@feddit.org

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.

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? 😂

Not if you want them to be at least halfway user friendly. Form validation 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?

So I guess by fileupload you mean “drop file here and wait an uncertain amount of time for the server to handle the file without any feedback whatsoever.” and by forms you mean “enter your data here, then click submit and if we feel charitable we may reward you with a long list of errors you made. Some of which could have been avoided if you knew about them while filling in previous fields”.

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.

Bullshit!

Not to disagree with your general argument, but yes, the average German actually does speak better English than the average citizen of pretty much every single African country. But then again, the average citizen of any given African country probably speaks better English than anyone living in Brooklyn or the rural south of the US, so there’s that…,

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 responses 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!

Or… hear me out… You don’t use an AC at all! Especially for camping.
