It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.

While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.

Former kbiner, but out of the loop on this one. What’s I miss?

That sounds awful. And a major loss to accessibility. Here’s hoping one of the standards gains traction as the one path everyone can agree on.

I’m not up to speed on this issue, but it seems like the solution is to push forward with making the readers work in Wayland? Is there a technical issue with Wayland’s design that prevents readers from working properly?

Yeah. Just warning for those that didn’t watch it, starting off on the pig one thinking you’re gonna see the advertisement one could be a rude switch.

Definitely black mirror, but pretty sure it is not episode one.

Thanks! I agree some of what’s needed are more lurkers to vote up the little content that is posted, to get more folks posting.

I’m in, but mostly a lurker.

That’s no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.

Or maybe the 512kb.club a more reasonable balance between 250 club and the 1mb club.

Also with a view: jankfree.org for a similar focus on performance.

Yes. You can. I have a personal site that is using nuxt static site mode and it renders extremely fast and clean output.

Check out https://250kb.club all performance sites focused on speed and small size.

Check out Avalonia. It’s like cross platform WPF. Not winforms, but still pretty good and easy to start with.

I mean, I can fix them, but not because I’m a programmer. Makes it hard for normies to understand the difference.

I think if you look at your average “package” from GitHub, that is published to npm, nuget, or the associated language rep, by and large they’re not making any money.

Sure big projects are making money and have paid development teams, but that’s not true at the individual library level in many cases.

Wait, are you seriously overlooking ASP.NET and suggesting c# tes learn typescript and node to build web apps?

I get that it’s a hypothetical, but typescript and node shouldn’t be the first stop on the we need to build a web page train for folks already in the c# wagon.

I recently went manual to plugin hybrid and it’s been a joy.

I’d only consider another manual for a “fun” weekend driver or something.

Agreed. It seems unlikely reddit will add new useful features to old, and RES has coverage on the existing interface and doesn’t need anything new so it’s not like lack of new features is a bad thing here.

What about bank apps and nfc? Do those work or are you just out of luck if you need them on graphene or lineage?

I appreciate the good faith you’re putting into this. I tend to lean your way, but it’s interesting to see this discussion play out. Thanks for being respectful. I appreciate it, even though (up to this comment) I’m just observing the thread.
