I see your point. On the page that I’m building, the mobile navigation menu is the only usage of Javascript and I think that’s reasonable (desktop users are way more likely to disable JS than mobile users, for whom you should optimize anyway in most cases). Of course, there are other use cases where content is really dynamic (e.g. Etherpad), which you just can’t tackle with only HTML & CSS.
In my opinion, it’s those little things that JS is good at and CSS is (currently) not. JS is a tool, neither more nor less, and like with all tools, it’s more important what you do with them than what tool you use.
That’s not to say that I’m not in line with you that 95-99% of all JS code in modern web pages is bloat in the best case and acting against the users interest (like by spying on them) in most others, and I’m in no way an apologist for it. Condemning its usage altogether throws the baby out with the bathwater though imho.
Oh, and on performance: JS is pretty optimized today as well. A lot of waiting for modern web pages is due to loading of external resources, which would hardly be any faster if done in C*. In conclusion, we’re blaming the language for what people do with it. 😉
* I’m not saying that 3rd party assets are necessary or good, it’s just an observation
I’d argue that it’s not a question of yes or no, but of how much. Personally, I prefer pages that work as expected without enabling them in NoScript too, but that doesn’t extend to phones too well imho.
That’s because you’ll at least have a pretty hard time getting mobile navigation right without JavaScript, at least if you don’t want to fall back to odd tree shaped navigation menus which are always visible or something like that. There are CSS hacks for that, but those violate the distinction between content and representation.
Nur eine kleine Anmerkung : Sooooo interessant sind die privaten Daten einzelner Personen auch wieder nicht für Dritte. Clouddienste sind für die Anbieter deshalb lohnend, weil sie die Profilbildung über eine große Zahl von Menschen möglich machen. Für so was kommt üblicherweise keiner „zu einem nach Hause“. Ransomware halte ich für realistischer, aber auch da ist man als privater Haushalt vermutlich auch nicht Angriffsziel Nummer eins, weil bei Firmen schlicht mehr Kohle zu holen ist. Man wäre also höchstens mal Beifang, falls eine Schwachstelle im Synology automatisch exploitet wird oder so.
Das soll natürlich alles nicht heißen, dass man sein NAS nicht absichern sollte. Nur die Bedrohungsszenarien sollten realitätsnah bleiben, sonst investiert man Zeit und Energie, die woanders mehr Nutzen gehabt hätten.
Always interested to see what you try to make out of my words. You could have been a gifted sculptor for all I know, you neither lack imagination nor the aspiration to transform stuff into something completely different.
I didn’t say basically anything you imply and have not enough time nor energy to waste in “discussions” with fundamentalists, so I’ll just conclude my annotations to your pseudointellectual ramblings with another “if you say so”.
I don’t get where did you even suddenly put in the word “desirable”.
You used Clausewitz’ description in terms of legitimizing war as a matter of politics (as you opposed someone else sarcastically saying you had to accept war as a matter of dispute between nations). If that was not your intention, then your post contains mostly whataboutism, pointing at others doing the same (?) thing in order to not be accused for something.
Obviously some wars are better than the others, for example liberation wars, while US imperialist wars are utterly reprehensible.
Yeah. If you say so.
250+ conflict since WW2 can attest
It’s 77 years since the end of WWII. There are around 200 countries in the world (also depending on how Mother Russia feels today about further annexations). A “conflict” is an extremely wide term. Therefore, I’m surprised it’s not more than that.
Politics are very different today than in the time of Bonaparte, therefore war as a matter of those and the reasons for it are hardly the same. So what I don’t get is why you pull out that 200 years old quote to excuse nations colliding in war in modern times. Yes, war is a reality. Of course it is, nobody ever denied that, just look what a great point you made there! But hell, do we have to like that or drop every effort to overcome it? Europe for instance lives in peace since the end of Nazi Germany, which is probably the longest period since, I don’t know, like ever? Yeah, not everybody was happy with every compromise that came with that peace. But I suggest that those were/are still better than open war.
Let ideas fight & die, not people.
This excuse fits every despicable war the US fought in the past just as well as Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Not sure if this is what you were after.
Also, in the years and years since Clausewitz wrote what you quote, one might acknowledge that international standards have come a long way. Just consider the historical context of the Napoleonic Wars, it’s just not the world we live in anymore.
Additionally, Clausewitz only meant that as an observation, not as something desirable.
I’d expect a link I click from within lemmur to open up in my system’s browser, but that doesn’t happen anymore since the last update several weeks ago. Also, I haven’t found an option to change that behavior.
“Sharing” a link with your browser is not only clunky, it often doesn’t even work because the browser doesn’t show up in the list of apps to share with (at least on my device).
Absolutely. 🙂
