Ramsey Nasserabsolutely losing my entire mind at this web site that decided to take their irritating distracting "chat with us" popups that no one ever asked for and make it *fucking bounce around like the fucking dvd logo* what the fuck is happening
i take it all back javascript was a mistake
anyway it turns out you cant use quickbooks on linux

Mitsunee | 光音@nasser this uses 0 javascript if done correctly
Social Justice Warrior🦍@vegafjord fair enough, I just really dislike JS getting blamed for everything that's wrong with the web, even tho what's at fault are 80% advertisers and 20% "people" who don't understand users at all. I have a massively underoptimized blog that loads super quickly despite uselessly hydrating the entire text content on the page. It's never JS's fault.
sofia ☮️🏴@mitsunee @vegafjord @nasser most of the shit JS gets is due to it being enabled by default.
just imagine a web that grew up with adblockers in every browser, and opt-in for cookies and JS…
@sofia there wouldn't be a reason to block JS if it wasn't for advertisers and other such nonsense
@mitsunee i disagree. just because i visit your website does not mean i wanna run whatever code you have there. i think this would be a good disincentive to use JS for no good reason, which is like 95% of those websites that start of blank before you enable js. a static-ass website, but they gotta use some framework shit.
@sofia if you don't wanna run my code then don't visit the site? My sites aren't blank without JS either, that problem got solved literally years ago and was merely caused by people overusing ui libraries without a framework that let's them work at scale. In fact it was never a problem for any of *my* sites. Fuck off with your pointless accusations.
@mitsunee i really didn't mean to accuse you in particulat of making shitty websites, sorry if that's how it came across. it was meant to be a generic "you". the blank website phenomenon is very much still a thing, and it's super annoying, and yeah, framework fans promised me that would go away years ago…
running arbitrary code just seems like something that should have special permissions in a system that is stilll primarily used for documents. just like, say, camera access.
@mitsunee i guess my feelinmg about frameworks are party motivated by me trying to and failing to understand React (i guess it has something to do with automatically synchronizing data and UI 🤷). and when the main notable effect of this arcane magic is breaking static websites then that's just a bit… disappointing…
Thiago Figueiró@thiagocsf if you are doing any sort of animation with JS you are doing it very very very wrong tho. JS is actually the thing that helps you get rid of this abomination by offering the close button...
@mitsunee I don’t disagree with you at all! The joke is that this is like arguing the right way to install a horse in the engine bay of a car. https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4d1549594b9289ba429ded0fe0488c029bf13d2a/68747470733a2f2f6d656469612e67697068792e636f6d2f6d656469612f31554d5a70423049595734683478646e55732f67697068792e676966
Stefan Rother-Stübs@nasser I hope the gemini solution gains traction.
Sheogorath@nasser if you prefer that, they can implement this in CSS animations :)
Vicente ⁂@nasser why do de need javascript when html+css+user is already turing complete?
Alonely0 🦀 🇪🇺@nasser That's probably CSS animations, not JavaScript.

@nasser there's like a 50% chance a person who just needed a job suggested this as a joke and had to follow through with it

wrosecrans@nasser "According to A/B testing, we got more engagement with the moving version," because people clicked on it by accident. That's science proving it's a good thing that people like.
HVB☆damifortune@nasser this is beautifully cursed
NeoFox@nasser clearly, it's to prevent the article from burning your retinas

@NeoFox @nasser no kidding, everyone watching the bouncing chatbot completely ignoring that the content itself looks like auto-written SEO content, it's not even REMOTELY correct, lol.(claims that you can't run software if a ".deb" source package isn't available, saying you need to use a windows emulator, etc)

otocincluscat@nasser omgoodness, that is horrible - i wonder if they really expect that to be successful.

Michael Porter@nasser The "Kill Sticky" bookmarklet might help with that. I give it a click whenever there's annoying stuff in the page and it often makes it vanish.

@nasser this is the kind of thing that makes me immediately click the back button and never ever visit this site again. I hate, hate, hate live chat popups even when they don't bounce around the screen in the most annoying possible way.
Justin@nasser omg it's amazing 🤣 I thought we'd already hit peak annoying on websites with chat bots, popups, banners, marquees, cookie questions, etc.
