@alinanorakari @forever@fedi.nullob.si @arcade I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here... the first link isn't about React at all (it specifically uses a 'dedicated' server-side templating library), and the latter literally *is* a templating library that just happens to use JSX. I feel like you're assuming a certain complexity associated with 'React' that isn't actually there... React itself is pretty much just a data-to-HTML converter, just like any other templater really.

@alinanorakari @forever@fedi.nullob.si @arcade Huh? This is specifically about server-side rendering of templates, as an alternative to browser-side SPAs.

@alinanorakari @arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si Ah yeah the 'unnecessary SPAs' are definitely an issue. I've been trying to tell people to stop doing that forever, but it's hard to fight against the SPA hype...

@alinanorakari @arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si It's often all the tracker/thirdparty bullshit responsible for that tbh - not just analytics, but also A/B testing platforms, support widgets, ads, etc. The world would be so much better off without that shit

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Reason: spam, conspiracy theories, nazis, chain letters, election tampering, monopolist, tax evasion, structural privacy invasion, a literal genocide

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Shhhh, I was trying not to tip them off to the fact that "NSFW" bans are effectively unenforceable in a federation :p

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev OTOH it'll be easy enough to block

@arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si Honestly React isn't even the problem here, it's that "progressive enhancement" has completely fallen out of the collective consciousness among web developers. It's entirely possible to do progressive enhancement with React when you actually care about it! It's not even particularly hard...

@Zephyrmang Repeat after me: "if it's not publicly accessible, then it's not an archive, it's a storage unit"...

Looks like someone anonymously leaked Marble Madness II for arcade...

I am looking forward to the weirdo arcade collector meltdowns

@sofia@chaos.social Strange. Aren't all Firefox features supposed to work cross-platform?

public speaking 

Me, at the last day of #gpn20: "I didn't expect them to accept all three talks, after preparing and holding them all, I feel like I need a vacation."

Me, one day later: "I wonder what talks I'll submit for Congress this year"

there should be a free hosting service where you can only upload a single html file to your account, but pointing a domain to it is free

@sashafox Of course the more depressing aspect of this is that the offenders in question have probably learned to do that *because* they usually get away with it...

@sashafox In fairness, that's a pretty effective strategy when you're dealing with folks who see no issue admitting with openly admitting to crimes on national TV 🙃
