  • A morbillion javascript frontends, data hoarding middle ends, and another morbillion tracker tags all so you can display 5 sentences of text and a default picture which causes the website to take 5000 years to completely render as you watch Wappalyzer light up like a christmas tree on fire. Use static HTML and CSS ffs, it’s there for a reason.

    Modern HTTP is such a horrendous steaming pile of crap that I could honestly spend an entire day talking about the horrible ways we accomplish WWW, with about a solid 70% of it being directly attributed to pos Google.



  • Dedicated magic government doesn’t have a standing army or even an official police force branch to ensure public safety, and relies on essentially a band of mercenaries to take down Voldemort.

    Twice

    Also:

    For me it’s always the unexplained power nerfing that authors do just to advance the plot.

    Harry Potter in the first 3 books was fearless, he literally took on voldemort with his bare hands.

    Then when the dumbass plan with the port key cup happens, he just stands there like an idiot as the rat dude kills Cedric and revives Voldemort as if both he and Cedric don’t have wands that allow them to cast spells.

    I mean they could have maybe had like 20 wizards camping the graveyard to make escaping impossible, but nah they really tried to make the coward rat guy seem like he was now somehow more capable than all of voldemort’s previously defeated plans combined.



  • Whenever the new standard hits the almost impossible golden triangle of “cheap, reliable, and fast”.

    It’s gotta be cheaper than the alternatives, better and more reliable than the alternatives, and faster/easier to adopt than the alternatives.

    Early computers for example had various ways to chug math, such as mechanical setups, relays, vacuum tube’s, etc.

    When Bell invented their MOSFET transistor and figured out how to scale production, all those previous methods became obsolete for computers because transistors were now cheaper, more reliable, and faster to adopt than their predecessors.

    Tbf though transistors are more of a hardware thing. A better example of a standard would be RIP being superceded by BGP on the internet.


  • This is like the primary reason I use XFCE

    It just works nicely and efficiently and you can customize it in every way possible. Hell you can change the compositor or even run a subset like xfce-panel.

    The only real downside is XFCE doesn’t have wayland support, which in of itself is already an arguable need.

    GNOME is like using a chromebook which is insulting to the ability of a computer.
