I mean, that’s literally what it is?

I came!

lol you think Democrats lead the revolution.

But your basic algorithms cannot tell if Debbie just broke up with her BF and would totally spend all seven dollars in her purse for that late night candy bar just to bury the pain under something positive now could it?!

Yea, but provoking violence to what end?

People aren’t doing it just to get beat up. It’s about making a fascist regime look as bad as they are. Which looks worse? A country blatantly attacking its own citizens flying its own flag? Or a country attacking illegal immigrants flying a flag of a foreign country we’ve kinda’ had a war with in the past?

One of these has much more powerful imagery, especially for the dumdums who do not understand cultural pride in other cultures, like most Americans.

He’s a self-centered piece of shit machismo guy. Of course his smooth brain likes fascism: He’s a part of the “might makes right” mentality. Part of why he punches people for a living.

You’re right on other fronts, but this is more like the classic one-upsmanship of basic competition. The loser srops trying to innovate on their own and tries to immitate the winner, rarely successfully.

Elon and his cyberfuck are a better example of what you’re describing.

Bloat caused by bundled apps is different than bloat caused by the OS being a hodgepodge mess of ancient features, half baked new “features”, and spyware.

Of course clean ISOs still install the horseshit known as Microsoft Windows; most of the crap comes from windows itself.

and copilot on a cheap handheld that cannot do anything except record you 24/7 and send it off to MS servers?

What you mean to say is scientists are testing the “tried and true” practices of people, practices that were rooted in reality like make crop grow, and are finding out that they actually were good at growing things? Or that many stories were actually about historic events like massive inland floods and not only vapid religious/cultural stories?

There is definitely a massive, MASSIVE line between believing in the provable like that kind of stuff, and believing in magic sky daddies that grant wishes or rocks with souls.

Hey, even introverts like fun environments. A fun environment can be the determining factor if an introvert even joins in or has fun! The sterilization of corporate spaces hurts everyone except greedy inhuman trash that only care about money.

Oh you sweet summer child, thinking that will apply to most websites.

Too chatty, stuff getting hidden from the user which makes it less useful yet still cluttered, change for change’s sake, teasing at notification nightmares… There’s a lot to dislike in OP’s post!

I think that’s a small part of it, the lack of nuance from new coders, but the origins weren’t so cut and dry, IMO. It was really how poorly things were supported by browsers. Tables became used for styling because they were the only way to achieve some layouts that would have any hope of calculating correctly in the browser. JavaScript became used for active elements because html/css originally couldn’t do anything dynamic or responsive. Many things became divs simply because they were the only building block that didn’t come saddled with tons of preconditions and assumptions. etc, etc, etc.

HTML5 and ECMA2015 are when it started to turn around. Browsers finally got their shit together and supported a proper, useful baseline set of features that could cover most use cases, and the resulting standardizations made a HUGE difference. If it stayed going the way it was pre-HTML5, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d be wrestling with some popular framework trying to wedge a new standard in next to HTML in the browsers… Heck, that probably would’ve happened anyways if HTML weren’t just glorified XML (meaning it’s already nearly infinitely extensible)!

Because many of the frameworks, including Angular and React, were getting started while HTML and JS specs and the support of those specs were a giant hodgepodge MESS.

Why are so many things divs instead of standard components? Because for WAY too long, those components weren’t standard. Some browsers didn’t even fully support basic components or styling options that had been standard for years.

Why is everything a div? Because in many browsers, divs got the most feature support.

The frameworks seem nonsensical and dumb because they’re covering up a LOT of even worse things.

Not to say a ton of nasty things cannot remain, or new gross things crop up, but at least this one has a history that’s more interesting than, “they designed it poirly”. Nope, a lot of the problems have no design at all, or might’ve been worse with a more “standard” implementation!

That is definitely not been a huge driving factor in the STYLING of cars.

They didn’t say, “I have no idea why”, they said it’s soulless and annoying. Capitalism truly produces garbage. It doesn’t matter that there is a reason for bad decisions. They’re still bad decisions.

Make the phone thicker and give me more battery. They chose to make a bump instead. Assinine.
