JS is not needed for some defined build-in commands [0]. Custom commands will emit an Event only which probably should end up in some JS function most of the time.

Depends on where you work in the industry, there's a huge level of division of work. Upstream departments should work more on new products and marketing etc. But a little more downstream, there isn't much todo if not enough cars are ordered.

The intention of Kurzarbeitergeld is to prevent large layoffs. I honestly can't tell if that makes sense in the long run, but it seems reasonable for a political party trying to make it to the next term.


I just noticed, that Invoker Commands are available across all major browsers. Good to see that HTML progresses to make Javascript redundant for basic UX.

It's nice, but it's not quite ready for use yet.

It's not supported on the previous main version of Safari, so everyone following the "last two major versions" of browser support rule can't use them.

Also, it's currently limited to only dialogs and popovers (and custom events, but in those cases you need js anyway).

It'll be more useful once it can control:

- details (open, close, toggle)

- video (play, pause, toggle play state, set seek point, mute, set volume)

- select (open/close widget, set/unset value(s))

- input (open/close widget, set/unset value(s))

- all elements (add/remove/toggle/set a class/attribute)


Yeah, this only gets interesting if they start contemplating native two-way binding, but that still wouldn't cover the vast majority of complex use cases that require computed values.

I've always browsed with javascript disabled but in the last few months (presumably in response to AI scraping) loads of sites that previously worked now don't. IMDB. Loads of open-source blogs, wikis and source repositories. Commenting on Wikipedia. Browsing job sites.

It's never been easier to create a great site that doesn't require javascript, but hardly anyone is.


Google Search doesn't work without JS. I think we're actually moving in the opposite direction of what OP inferred. It's pretty difficult to reliably detect bots without using JS, and the vast majority of interesting client-side web applications are downright impossible without it. No amount of HATEOAS is going to make a usable version of Figma.

I think there’s a lot of good reasons to, but hardly any incentive to.

People who disable JS are probably a very tiny minority and of those who consume ads, an even smaller one.


I assume days alone in tiny rooms are something different than days alone in a cozy cabin oder days alone in nature in general. Seems odd to me that the effects have been contributed to the missing social interactions alone and neglect the jail like setting.


Is it okay to flag low quality ai content like this?


I doubt it's AI generated. It would have been better if it was. But yes, flag away.


I guess it's correlated to the commercialization of those platforms. The amount of content which is actually from your friends and families is declining and was replaced by adds and viral content. If facebook would've been from the beginning what it's now, we probably never would have named it 'social media' in the first place.


Big time. I visit once/year and I'm always amazed at how useless Facebook has become.

I could barely find any updates from my friends, my feed is now an endless stream of AI-generated videos.

What's the use for that?


Facebook has become a community hub for me more than anything. Mountain biking, snowmobiling, contracting, VJing - there are lots of groups out there with very real and human discussion. You couldn't pay me to go back to reddit for that stuff.

You're right though, rarely do people post to their own timeline these days. I think it's the 90:9:1 social media stasis playing out.


So the real question is what motivates Facebook decision makers to put their credible stuff behind such a low quality front page, that is seen as a joke by nearly everyone?

It would be like a reputable industry conference putting a troupe of low budget clowns doing carnival tricks in front of their entrances.


The question might be that a huge percentage of people still watch those videos and click on ads.

My mom, for instance, she might just scroll through all the slop and even believe it's all true, and click on an ad every once in a while—perhaps by mistake.


Ah, yes--that makes sense.

And it's better than Reddit because it's more personal and you get to meet people or even make friends..?


Doom scrolling. For people who get hooked it can be very very addictive.


In my real life bubble, AI isn't a big deal either, at least for programmers. They tend to be very sceptical about it for many reasons, perceived productivity being only one of them. So, I guess it's much less of a thing than you would expect from media coverage and certain internet communities.


Are you hiring?


Open to applications I would say, but not completely remote. So unless you're Python or c/c++ Dev living in nrw, Germany..


Is there something like a tilling extension for xfce? Not snappy corners but actually tilling by default?

I'm currently on popos (using GNOME) and enjoy the tilling of its GNOME extension. Actual tilling wms were too hackish for me whenever I tried them.


I don't think so - have you tried popOS's latest Cosmic DE though? I think it's in Beta now - it's a written from scratch desktop environment, that puts the tiling extension like behavior as a first class citizen.

If you wanted something more lightweight and minimal, but complete with tiling, it's a good option.


i3 + xfce works well for this


Correlated but kinda off topic: I don't mind the style so much, I mind the verbosity. The amount of words spit out effortless by the writer which then need to be comprehended and filtered by every reader.

Seeing a project basically wrapping 100 lines of code with a novel length README ala 'emoticon how does it compare to.. emoticon'-bla bla really puts me off.


That's a hallmark of Claude. I stopped using Claude for documentation because it was overly... JavaScripty in feel (all the stuff it churned out felt like JavaScript framework docs of the 2010s, and I bet it would have added Neon Cat if it knew how).

In comparison, I can sort of confidently ask GPT-5.1/2 to say "revise this but be terse and concise about it" and arrive at something that is more structured that what I input but preserves most of my writing style and doesn't bore the reader.


A changelog.md file for users which is used to automatically create release messages.

If features need more explanation, we create a wiki page and link it in the release.

Sometimes we feel like there should be a changelog for devs but in the end git blame is used anyways.
