  • And after that you chose Lemmy of all places? No offense, but the people and especially the mods here are even more batshit crazy when it comes to anything even remotely considered not left. 😂

    I got banned from PoliticalMemes for saying that Hamas are a terrorist organization. Someone else got banned from the entirety of Blahaj.zone for saying that dragons aren’t real. The list goes on. Reddit is centralist heaven compared to Lemmy! Heck, some of the mods are openly Putin and Winney Poo fan tankies!

    That being said, there’s still a lot of cool people and communities here that are pretty nice. Just stay away from anything even remotely political if you’re not a downright communist/tankie. 🫣

    Edit: The downvotes and comments below are once again proofing my point.

    Edit2: Seems like I got myself another social stalker with this comment - CakeLova556@feddit.org


  • For me it was the other way around. With some very few exceptions I found the Skyrim quest boring and too afraid to do anything fantastic. Oblivion was way better in that regard, but lacking in dungeon diversity and action gameplay.

    This also seems to be the general consensus among TES fans. Morrowind has the best roleplaying depth and potential, Oblivion has the best and most varied quests and Skyrim has the best level design and combat.



  • 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.
