AI like another poster said. But I’m sure it being a youtube video has something to do with it too. A lot of us would rather read then watch a youtube video. Some people also dont like youtube and would rather not support it.

Yeah very insecure

Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

Yeah my car is about 13 years old. Still has CD player. Will drive it until I die.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

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.

This is great news! Weird that I’m subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn’t notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

It does sound like lists may be a little overused but it would be hard to say without specific examples.

Using lists in the nav situation seems reasonable. But if he’s advocating that everything on a web page should be a list, that’s a bit extreme.

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

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 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.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Look at the frameworks go!!! I know I know. “its not a framework”…

Yes! Can’t believe it’s 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this… and don’t even get me started on their mobile sites 🙄

Just depends on what works best for each of us. But personally, I agree with you. It’s not that I think one company owning a ton of the services is a bad thing in itself. But history has shown us that, when a company starts to dominate a certain market, they tend to start becoming tone-deaf to our interests, because they know we can’t (easily) switch and go somewhere else.

Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main

Eh. These sorts of metrics aren’t always accurate. And the source company did the study in 2016, which was a very very different internet, and doesn’t go into detail about how they were able to determine this number. I would take that with a grain of salt. I agree that just having a notice somewhere is better than not, though.

Yeah, it’s definitely a very unique approach I haven’t seen before. I’ve been using the “honeypot” method for years, which has been working surprisingly well.
