Just a tiny bit offensive. 🤏

Just fucking use HTML

Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

Just fucking use HTML
@thomas counterargument: the abbr tag doesn't work in Firefox mobile. Time for a polyfill I guess?
@Pixdigit @thomas The months and week selectors still aren't supported by Firefox (desktop) either. :/

@thomas Ehm .... This is from the bottom of that HTML site's source view:

🤪

@thomas @dazo Why the fuck should anybody make a screenshot of some fucking html code, and does not copy and paste the fucking text? That fucking partially sighted or blind people can not read that fuck? By the way it is fucking possible to put the text of the fucking html code in the fucking description of the fucking screenshot.
@sven222 @thomas @dazo No excuses for not copy-pasting code into alt. Still, please take a moment to thumbs-up https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23981#issuecomment-2817128456 -- mastodon's lack of basic formatting, eg. using Markdown's ```html style syntax highlighted code blocks, is a major reason for many a needless image post.
Add support for posting with Markdown syntax · Issue #23981 · mastodon/mastodon

Pitch Requests to add support for posting with Markdown formatting has come up many times in the past, so this is a proposal to formalize the recent efforts. I'm not against other forms of markup f...

@thomas but they put really much effort into their translations

> Benutz HTML und hör auf damit, dein Veedel zu gentrifizieren, gottverdammt!

@thomas this person seems to have forgotten that the web launched with style sheets from day one too, this website looks like shit

but actually I came here to comment that they use cloudflare which automatically embeds JavaScript into this page, which I thought was deeply hilarious lol
@froge @thomas if you define roughly 1990 to 1996 as ‘a day’ anyway :)
@thomas it creates variables for you??? I thought you had to dig for it in the DOM!

@thomas

This is great!! I will cite this and the site it links to below, when I start my ejournal that will be as close to simple HTML as my Wordpress host allows (AND it will support GIF movies - unlike pdf).

Also, it links, near the bottom, to this:

Too much froth in the Internet.
Hence my minimal domain being defoam.net
@thomas My site is all static HTML. No Javascript, no content management system, just HTML.

@thomas This page is no good, I don't see the <blink> tag anywhere.

@thomas

That's music for my ears, a feast for my eyes 😎

@thomas @paulshryock ironically, it took quite some time to load and i had to use reader view for it to be legible (yes i need to get reading glasses, but thats no excuse, i don’t always hit the button)

;)

all of my sites built on pure html, except for one using docusaurus codesft.dev clyp.codesft.dev

codesft.dev

@thomas @gregoa_ also fucking advertising fucking eso-fascist worldburning thieving “AI”, so not something to propagate
@thomas „build process that takes longer than your last failed relationship“ Fantastik!

@thomas "Everybody knows HTML"

Err... except a lot of React users, it seems :/

@FunkyBob @thomas That's one of the reasons why I hate React: I've used it, and it's not meant for frontend, it's meant for messy code that pretends to be for the frontend.
@pierstoval @thomas It has its place, but I've seen far too often React projects reinventing functionality onto a DIV that's already implemented in a native HTML element, and better!

@FunkyBob @thomas That's why I prefer Svelte: even setting it up is real basic JS, it compiles to JS code that makes every component usable from JS code without bundler, and in the end, it's just a fancy HTML+CSS+JS templating engine that compiles to JS, and it's awesome.

React is a framework-that-doesn't-want-to-call-itself-framework and everything you do with it has to be "the React way".

With Svelte, you import any JS lib and it just works (unless it needs the browser at import-time)

@pierstoval @thomas Also interesting to see the React Compiler basically playing catch-up the Svelte.

So many sharp edges in React where "if you do X, you must do Y" and me thinking "Why don't you just do that for me, then?" ... like Svelte does.

@FunkyBob @thomas vue3 and their "just html component" new stuff were also a catch up svelte.

Svelte is IMO the best so far: simple, light, closer to standard, and can even compile to web components.

@thomas someone needs a dictionary to learn new words 😆

@thomas @demi that was pretty much my thinking as I wrote @backup_brain

I did use Bootstrap styling to make it prettier, but everything's _so_ fast when you stop shipping around fuckloads of JS and making calls for a second fuckload with every hover and click.

It's so fast, I'm doing full page reloads and haven't even once considered optimizing to make it faster. Even when running off my Raspberry pi.

Given, it's a single user app but still. Stupid fast. Zero effort.

@thomas If you can stomach the strong language, it contains a very valid point. 🐖
@fleischie28 @thomas I mean it reads like every fucking American book nowadays.
What an idiotic website. Just admit you can’t understand anything beyond markup, and lose the vile, elitist cussing. You sound juvenile and dumb.
@toddlambert.com don't take it too seriously ;)
Sorry, didn't realize it wasn't yours. 😉
@toddlambert.com yes, it's not mine. Just stumbled across it and it made my smile for some reason. ;)

@thomas homie, slap that shit in a `<main>...</main>`, give it a `max-width: 800px; margin: auto;`, and then I'll listen.

line-length is an important part of typography and thinking it's cute to have no CSS isn't a real reason not to make readable documents.

@thomas I'm firmly with the minimalists, don't get me wrong, but typesetting and design matter.
