Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

Brought this same thing up in a post months ago and got quite a bit of downvotes and no help, so I never attempted to bring it up anymore lol. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Saving this thread now… Thank you

The workaround I’ve been using is to just refresh the page. That tends to work… Sometimes… 🫠

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! Is there any official statement? Search didn’t turn up anything. I guess I don’t necessarily need to know exactly how it went down, but I wanna be nosy. :D

Let’s goooooo… wait. am I late? 😆

You shouldn’t wait because it’s going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It’s been great and never looked back!

We’re all always dissatisfied with something

I’d also like to get notifications for sibling posts or replies to replies and so on. I just want to subscribe to that discussion.

Not sure if you use RSS feeds, but you can easily get one for any Lemmy discussion and subscribe to it. Here’s an RSS feed for this discussion, for example.

Still trying to figure out how a comment about USA culture suddenly becomes a white vs black race issue… “culture” doesnt equal “race”. Especially in the context of a discussion of an entire country.

I don’t think this is an anti-React post, like the other commenters are implying.

This issue would occur when attempting to search any webpage with the web browser’s builtin search feature before the content has a chance to load in. This happens if the page requires JavaScript to load, which is the case with React apps.

This is an interesting perspective, and I very much see how people can have it. Totally agree that the internet just isn’t like it used to be, arguably for the worst, depending on who you ask.

As much as I hate these big tech platforms, the issue isn’t that they’re doing what they’re doing. After all, capitalistic societies (especially the US) don’t just ignore it, they actually encourage this sort of “money above all else” mentally that a lot of these CEOs and shareholders have. So what platforms are doing shouldn’t surprise anyone. Maybe some of it should be made illegal, but I’d argue making new laws still won’t really address the problem.

The real problem is that we (everyday people) need to take more responsibility over the mental health of ourselves and our children and just stop using this brain-rotting software. We can complain about what they’re doing to humanity all we want, but if we continue to use these platforms, we’re just making it easier for them to do the bad things they do.

Genuine question: how do we actually “kill the big fish” though? Majority are going to continue to use big tech out of convenience and because they dont care much.

If you use RSS feeds, there is. There are services that provide RSS feeds for Lemmy posts. You can subscribe to those and get an update whenever any comment is made on the post.

As an engineer who’s worked on very large codebases over two decades, I’ve realized that this is so much easier said then done.

If people want to fork Mastodon, great. But they’ll quickly realize that what they may think are straight-forward “improvements” will lead to them having to address bigger architectural issues.

Many design decisions that were made when building Mastodon may not be perfect, but they address a lot of very complex decentralization and federation issues.

There’s no such thing as perfect software. What some may think is an improvement, others will think is a terrible choice. Each decision is a trade-off and will have downsides. We just have to decide which of them we’re comfortable with living with.

Not condoning it, but all I can think is how terrible Facebook is for “coordinating” stuff like this. I mean, if FB or the feds wanted to find out who these people are, track them down or something, they can do that pretty easily. People who do stuff like this aren’t too bright, though. So not surprised, I guess.

Why isn’t Rumble an option? Genuinely curious. Is it because it’s not open source? or federated or something?

These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

How is it “safer” when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳

Yeah I’d personally like to see more regulation and cases fighting for privacy rights instead, especially here in the US.
