So if you consider some stack to be inferior (maybe because its highly inconsistent in its design or it only runs on closed and locked down platforms or whatever) you still should just dismiss it as 'oh its just a tool' instead of accepting that it's shitty and makes you miserable when working with it? Why wouldn't I want to work with best thing ever if it helps me keep my sanity every day?

Do you want to use something that makes you miserable? Is any language including those designed by 3 year old 'just a tool' that is to be used despite obviously being shitty?

Never understood that argument.

You learn the language to communicate with everyone else on the planet. Computers are tools for manipulating and transferring information so spend time learning their language. Instead of wasting colossal effort catering to needs of everyone let everyone spend some time learning the language of everyone else.

And imagine how much programming and debugging effort could be saved worldwide if everyone did as you and I do.

Information could be encoded in molecule oscillations and therefore 2 rocks of different temperatures would communicate it when touching (heat transfer would occur). Can this be considered processing?

Come to think of it it's a great opportunity to move more people off chrome.

Make sure proper ad blocking only works in firefox and make google choke on their evil policies masked with performance concerns.

Wait is that it? His only problem was that he invented a better way to clear rocks?

haha thanks. Didn't even think about this for some reason, yet it's so simple.

It would be good to remember this moment next time some of their marketing bullshit about privacy will surface again.

Their word extends no further than the next paycheck. And people still fall for it.

Even if the guy jumps in front of your car? What kina bs is this? Perhaps peds need to mind their surroundings as well? Because cars can't stop instantly you know.

Anything to read on that DRM? Google doesn't give much.

Consider this though, would those marketing schmucks invest that much money into dystopian tracking on the web if they didn't have the data to back it up?

The problem is in the user. They do this because we let them. Spread the adblock around your non-technical peers whenever you can.

> In a few years the React/Vue fad will be gone,

Certainly. However, something even better will replace it and you guys will moan about it again. It only hurts yourself if you refuse to learn.

> The Web framework that has decades of experience in large scale production deployments and has the ability to pack FE libraries as components.

Same question. Who's going to write all those 'components' wrapping libraries for each of those when everyone has already moved on to react or vue? Some disgruntled retrograde? Am I supposed to waste time on it so that you can bask in the glory of 'pure html and js'?

Who is going to maintain that loosely linked spaghetti of html with minimal js? You?

If you're not going to, don't tell me how to work with code I gotta work with.

Can we just agree to let this meme die? React and vue didn't appear because developers wanted bloat.

If you want to reduce bloat, take that to corporate greedy actors stuffing pages with tracking and don't ever touch tools that make my life easier.

Why is illegal scheme necessary to create derivative works of Mickey mouse? Because this world, while being peaceful, is overrun with hostile actors at every corner.

That's an interesting jump. Mind sharing how that came to be?

Them getting crushed by this is poetic justice of sorts.

I also wish everybody would install adblock on all their devices etc.

It's one of those problems that are solved only at the individual level but because of that are not going to be solved at all.

As it should be. If you swallow every bone you are thrown you end up with bullshit like chrome's adblocker crippling served with a fake performance concern sauce.

I'm sorry but you have to be special kind of delusional to think apple is doing something to move away from walled garden lol.

They haven't done it because it doesn't bring any benefits to the greedy corps, and apple is the worst offender with their dumbed down, shackled os

A CDO! Guess we never learn :)

Good to see them squirm I guess, that's how you know adblocking is sound tool for fighting back

Why are you not a fan of adblockers, if I may ask?

I mean... Are they kidding me with that name?

Ads in the start menu? Omnipresent data collection in their crappy new os?

How costly is such renting?

How would that happen?

Will you vet them for a decade before committing for a few decades? if not, how would you know the agreement will be honored after longer time than you know them? Can you be sure of that with anyone?

you are actually protected by the browser's sandbox... this analogy does not address the fact that you add another party that tricks you with the removal of url and that is Google
