  • 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.





  • 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.

    Yeah, it does. They seem like purely trans friendly bunch at first, but it’s pretty clear pretty early on that they are extremely close minded and will attack anyone and anything that could be taken as transphobe in even the most ridicolous way.

    They will ban people for finding furry porn weird, for saying “dragons don’t exist” or stuff like “‘I identify as an attack helicopter’ is obviously a joke” and they take issue with being told that not everything is about them. They may not be as bad as the tankies and nazies, but they’re still very much people I don’t want in my feed!

    I kind of disagree. Some opinions are not worth being heard. Nazis/Magas, Tankies and other extremists don’t contribute anything of value.

    My life here on lemmy has been way better since I blocked all posts from lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml an blahaj.zone. Unfortunately there’s no way to block comments as well, but other than that it has been a way better experience without the constant extremist propaganda flooding my main page.

    But you’re bringing up a great point. We really do need some kind of landing page that warns new users about joining these instances if they are not extremists themselves.



  • You know, I would love to believe that. I really want. But if we look at election results, population surveys and other sources, then this is simply not true.

    In the young population groups there are about 5% to 10% more people who care about the environment enough to actually cause a change. But that still only comes down to 30% in total in the age groups 25 to 45. The age group below 25 is almost as bad as the current old generation. They shifted back from being greens to being nazis.

    So yeah. Even in the most environmentally aware generation 70% of people don’t give a shit! And the dislikes on my original comment are proving me right.
