A good option are static site generators like Hugo.

What makes WASM more secure than JavaScript? I’d think that the main issue with JS is that it’s a programming language that’s running on the client-side, not that it’s specifically JS.

AFAIK some sites are so terrible that they won’t work even if you use DNS-based adblocking instead of browser extension-based adblocking …

Definitely worth trying, though.

Quite sensible!

I do have formal education in the field, but that doesn’t mean that I’m easily capable of e.g. writing a module for Nginx or even most website frameworks or knowledgable enough about administration to feel comfortable exposing a dynamic website (as opposed to static HTML+CSS) to the internet.

A lot of it is learning by doing, though, and for a lot of things books are a great resource (some stuff is outdated as soon as it’s published, but general system administration or programming knowledge doesn’t get outdated that fast).

TBH wenig überrasched, dass die Regierungsparteien praktisch geschlossen dafür stimmen und alle Oppositionsparteien dagegen …

I’m reading a lot of personal blogs that don’t use JS at all, or at least are still functional with JS blocked. A somewhat surprising amount of websites work without it.

The issue with JS is that while I assume that your use of JS is relatively minimal and you’re not malicious, I don’t know that, and even if you’re not actively malicious, your site might still be compromized by exploited JS vulnerabilities, site hacks or uninformed/negligent choices of third party libraries/plugins/CDNs (NPM is notorious for supply chain attacks and lots of otherwise alright sites include font CDNs or even analytics). I’m not super anal about not using any site that doesn’t work without JS, but having it off by default is definitely good practice and sometimes I do decide that I don’t want to see a site that badly.

Mal wieder absolut bürgerfeindliches Gesetz.

UBlock’s approach is that you disable it for every site in the settings and then whitelist per site. Seems sensible enough to me. How does noscript do it?

You can block JavaScript with uBlock, BTW!

Die AfD von gestern geht eigentlich eher richtung FDP. Die FDP ist aber mMn ebenfalls verfassungsfeindlich, kann also auch weg.

Didn’t know that one before, I didn’t even consider the dependency issue!

Sleight of hand magician or Merlin magician?

Are you lamenting their lack of pacifism?

Kommt drauf an, nicht jeder der seine Infos von Facebook hat ist sofort eingefleischter Schwurbler. “Früher wars auch schon warm” habe ich auch schon von meinen Eltern gehört, und während die definitiv zu viel auf Fake News-Seiten rumhängen sind die durchaus zugänglich für Argumente.

But, yes. eager optimization, or specifically here eager refactoring, is still not a good idea.

Beware premature optimization, indeed! Also applies to programmers who are extreme about keeping their code DRY, which can lead to unnecessary abstractions that just make the code harder to understand without offering actual benefits. IME some languages suffer from this more than others, e.g. Ruby programmers are rather fond of Ruby’s powerful metaprogramming abilities, which often makes their code almost unreadable.

IDK, stuff like online petitions, online arguments and general virtue signaling behavior (which isn’t inherently bad TBF) can sure feel like you’re doing something without actually accomplishing much if you’re not also doing concrete things like rioting, striking etc.

I think there are more media-related distractions available, such as movies, tv shows, porn, sports, music, social media (though sm can also be used to incite/organize protests/riots), plus the old mainstay of religion (which is also a propaganda tool, but in most cases pro-government). But yeah, all these distractions definitely help. It’s like Rome’s Bread And Circus.

I even got downloaded for saying that outside of anything illegal, the platform should allow it.

Clearly, they want illegal things to be allowed, as is customary in LLM-land.
