Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

With all the extra free time I’ve got from not doom scrolling Reddit, I think I’m actually the winner here, cheers spez

Typical for Australia though tbh, getting the shit end of the deal

Enjoyed the traveling in Ghost of tsushima. Never felt like a choir there

Enjoyed the way Witcher did it where you just randomly get herbs as you’re running around. Never went out of my way to go find them from memory

Need to make sure you hoard those hundreds of potions and wheels of cheese “just in case” 🧀🧀🧀

Having well placed saved points and QOL features is absolutely amazing. I’m not interested in spending 10-15m running back / repeating myself just because the save progression system is rubbish. A lot more developers are more respectful of your time in that regard so it’s a great improvement

Think my eye twitched from the thought of frames again 🫨

Love a good flex layout, more keen on CSS grid and template areas now. So handy to be able to redefine positing with just CSS

Bootstrap is perfectly fine. I know there’s a lot of CSS snobs out there who rail on it but it’s a great framework and perfectly acceptable starting point.

Better than a decade ago when you had to worry about 5 different rendering engines. Nothing worse than finding a great solution and then seeing it works in most of them but not all, so you have to polyfil it

I’d say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial

Have no idea what old mate is even on about. I thought it might have been a parody or copypasta

“to keep the quality of answers high, we may arbitrarily close questions, regardless of how many upvotes it gets and how helpful it is” - stackoverflow

Wonder how the GDPR is playing a role here. There’s supposed to be a data retention clause that you can only keep actively used data / essential information. It could be them reacting to provisions like that or they could just be making more terrible adhoc changes…

The Firefox team responded saying that it’s an awful idea and that plenty of people rely on being able to appear human, for example screen readers who need to interact as a human would but then translates it into a format their users can understand.

These propositions are just full of drawbacks for the user, the user actually gains nothing at all. Let’s hope this rubbish doesn’t take a foothold.

Ooo I like these ones, they remind me of sync without being a direct copy. Really nice concepts

Not keen on following these awful proposals. It feels like there’s a persistent trend of making the internet shiter than it was beforehand. I get alphabet has a vetted interest in ads and user data, but if they’re going to push for this tracking approach I guess it’ll be back to fix Firefox again

Good to get awareness out there, the more people who know about these federated alternatives the better, even if it means having to use Reddit (where there’s still a huge population of potential converts)

Great work mate 🦙
